I am a reference librarian living in southwest Ohio. As you might guess from my bookshelf, I have a wide range of reading interests--from Rachel Gibson to Shakespeare, from hard-boiled police procedurals to light romance to classics!

    Hi Cathy, My new suspense novel LAKE CHARLES is set in the Smoky Mountains. Kindle now, paper (33% off for pre-sales orders) in June. Favorable review in Publishers Weekly. Sorry if this is a duplicate. Best, Ed Lynskey

    I saw the plots of some of Joyce Maynard's books but they didn't appeal to me like this one. Sometimes if I like an author I'll go back and read others but not this time.

    Merry Christmas Cathy. I see you enjoyed The Good Daughters as much as I did. As for Cathleen Schine, every time I get it from the library, I never have time to read it and then can't renew it. I'll get to it one of these days. LOL.

    It means that you enjoy it so much you don't want to put it down I guess. LOL

    Hi Cathy. Let me know how you like Rescue. I haven't been impressed w/her books lately but loved her earlier ones the most.

    Hi Cathy. I just finished Ape House 2 minutes ago and liked it. Not as good as Water For Elephants but it was fast reading -- 2 days.

    I just finished The Island and it was better than her last two!

    Cathy, let me know how you like The Cookbook Collector. I wasn't thrilled w/it. Liked her others better.

    I totally agree w/you on too many characters in The Red Thread especially the adoptees in China. I could have done w/out that to be honest w/you.

    I see that your opinon of The Red Thread was the same as mine. Have you read any of her others? I loved Somewhere Off The Coast Of Maine the best.

    Hi Cathy. Let me know if you enjoy The Inn At Lake Devine by Elinor Lipman. That was one of my favorite books by her. I also have her as a friend on Facebook.

    I wish I could edit my last message but since I can't, I just noticed that you read Family Album by Penelope Lively and liked it. Usually don't read british authors and it got bad reviews in the Washington Post, but still have it on my list to be read since it looks good.
