    No problem I am always looking for more book-loving friends!!

    Additionally, Chasing Windmills was awesome!
    Sorry it took me so long to respond, I was kind of on hiatus from here until a few of my librarian friends reminded me how awesome Shelfari really is.

    The Ancient One says

    Life is huge! Rejoice about the sun, moon, flowers, and sky. Rejoice about the
    food you have to eat. Rejoice about the body that houses your spirit. Rejoice
    about the fact that you can be a positive force in the world around you. Rejoice
    about the love that is around you. If you want to be happy, commit to
    making your life one of rejoicing.

    Why, that is an impressive,

    yet eclectic group of reads. You remind me of myself, with the multiplicity reading. I
    read like that as well. I am read The End of Blackness, by Debra J. Dickerson, in
    addition to that, I am reading "Called out of Darkness, by Anne Rice, and about 20
    other books.


    JASS!

    I just now realized that you are the one who wrote "Love in the Present tense". I loved the book. Did find it sad, but truly enjoyed reading it.

    It's funny that you say that, I just recently read "The Year The Swallows Came Early" by Kathryn Fitzmaurice and "My Big Nose" by Sydney Salter, both were from the YA aisle at the library, and I enjoyed them so much that I decided I would pic a YA book at least once a month. After all, we're all young at heart.

    Good luck with your new Young Adult novel coming out. Hopefully, people in the U.S. will recognize how powerful your adult novels are. I've really enjoyed the ones I've read and look forward to reading the ones you've recently talked about.

    I hope you enjoyed the Tain, as i suspect I made it to difficult using the Ulster Cycle. I hope this next one will be easier as we are reading Beowulf, the 7th century heroic poem as a translation by Seamus Heaney. This is for the Sagas group read and starts in June and July. I have posted in the blog and the site background info to help.

    We just got Chasing Windmills in our library. On my list of things to read! Also, I was recently talking with a Social Studies teacher here. She used Pay It Forward with her class to work on social responsibility. The students really enjoyed it, and I have turned the teacher on to some of your other work. Thank you for writing meaningful, accessible work!

    Are you enjoying reading The Tain this month. It will be running on into May. The language and being half verse and half prose makes it difficult at times but it will give us some themes to watch out for when we read Beowulf in June.
    Happy Reading

    Thank you for the invitation. It's a shame I've never read any of your books, yet! Bookstore chains in my country are pretty lame, I'm from the Philippnes by the way. I'm always keeping an eye for them though. Thanks again!
