I am a lover of books and I have been as long as I can remember. Like a lot of other readers my taste in books have changed over the years and will depend on my mood.

I will read just about any genre as long as it is well written.

Several years ago, I turned my dining room into a library as the books were running out of spaces...more »

    Let me know what you think of Dido's Prize - I spent two years researching and writing that book and I'd love to know how readers respond to it.

    Aunt Sophie and a younger Ole G.... Hmm... Now wouldn't that be a caution... LOL. That might be just what she needs... I'm gonna have to think about that one. A little rough neck for Aunt Sophie. LOL.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the book and those Hightower men. I'm having a blast writing about this family. I'm almost sad that I'm on the last book now... :-)

    The discussion was very good. We discuess many of the issues we found with the book and others told why they enjoyed it. A big part of the discussion was about the use of storytelling and the story that was being told to her by her uncle. The teacher mentioned how important the author thinks food is too. Overall it was a good discussion but, it didn't really change how we felt about the book.

    Finally getting back to you about Crescent. I know you had a hard time getting into it and I understand why. I think if I had picked the book up for personal reading I would have put it back down. Since I did it for class I had to finish but it didn't hold my interest. Most of the class felt the same way which made for an interesting discussion. I can't remember if you said you were going to finish it or not. If you did, what did you think in the end?

    Thank you for the explanation. I think I will look for some of the books you mentioned. This was my first book on the subject and I was both horrified and emotionally moved by the whole story. It makes the issue more personal to me instead of just a news story. It will be interesting to read other books on this subject. Thanks for your insight!

    Good Morning Beachlover. Happy Easter to you! I just finished reading *A Long Way Gone: Memoris of a Boy Soldier*. I noticed you only gave it three stars. It was an amazing story to me. Just wanted to hear your opinions on the book.
