    Hello friend - thank you for turning me on to this site, which I just joined yesterday. I spent over two hours on it - fun and time consuming. My 'library' is very incomplete and I am a real novice in its use, so maybe you can help me some. I am looking forward to our meeting and getting back on track with our little club.

    Hahahah very Dexter-ish! I checked out some of that ladies shelf, awesome! She, however, rated A Prayer For Owen Meany at 5 stars and a Heart, its one of her favorites... Im frustrated, feel like i missed something!

    Hey Momma, you plan on reading East of Eden next? I think you'll really enjoy it.

    I watched the movie when I was a child. I remember it being very creepy. I would love to see it again!

    Hi Wanda - thank you for the recommendation of Bill Bryson's book. I've already put in for it at our library. Thanks also for referring me to Shelfari. It is such a great venue. I love to look at others' shelves. I've already read several books that I never would otherwise have even known existed. I am currently reading Atwood's "The Year of the Flood." Never read anything by her and am definitely finding this a hard read. I'm not much on futuristic novels, but am determined to finish this. Again, thanks - can't wait to read it!

    I really did love "The Help" - loved the story. My father having been from Mississippi, I got my fair share of the "N" word growing up. I always thought I might have been adopted! This book really gives one the opportunity to see the relationships of women "keepers and the help." Poignant, but true of many!

    I tried "Pillars" and OMG my brain locked up! I keep telling myself to retry it at a later time. Maybe this winter when the rain and winds set in for months!

    I really like books with great characters. Don't like chick books either. I have a friend who loves Jodi P and I've tried to like her but no go! I love books set in the South - especially Civil War periods. Love books about different cultures. I love poetry and memoirs (mostly of people who have lived through crappy lives - i.e. Augusten Burroughs). Love books about nature. Recently read all of Ron Rash's books. Have not read his poetry yet but loved his books (set in or near the N.C. and S.C. mountains and Smokies - go figure)! Like eclectic books - new authors - I'd like to try Child 44. Some new writers will nail their first book. Look forward to sharing more. Thanks.

    Thanks! For the lovely note :)Where in Virginia did you live? I'm in Yorktown, Va. I really enjoyed meeting KU and this pic has gotten me into alot of good conversations :) I thought "The Glass Castle" was very good too, but like you said it is hard to believe that someone could have such a recollection of their childhood. I guess it depends on what you have gone through in your life too. I was abused as a child so I have vivid recollections of those parts of my life as well. Did you know the author of that book was from West Va.? I hope to chat with you again soon about some of the other books on your shelf :)

    your son's chosen path should make you proud; I don't have a degree but love my work with a passion that can't be bought. I love reading in the same degree. I'll keep an eye on your shelf for future reads myself.
