Hi I am a licensed practical nurse, who works to support my reading habit. I read just about anything, but my first love is mystery. The pug is Murphy the center of our home since the kids have grown up. He is a year and a half old and likes to sit in my chair while I read outloud. He has heard a lot of mysteries.

    Hi there,

    I'm new to Shelfari and need friends. It's pretty lonely over here.

    I read romance, women's fiction, fantasy and erotica.

    Friend me?

    I've been reading an anthology of local writers. We have an organization here that holds workshops for people who would not have access to writing then at the end of the workshop they publish an anthology. Its a fabulous program - the writing is amazing considering the writers are prisoners, addicts, people dying of cancer and AIDS. I'm almost done. Great stuff. I'm also in the middle of a how to book on magazine writing called Telling True Stories - its on essay and memoir writing.

    I know what you mean - I have a huge amount on my must read list and yet I still buy more whenever I go into a book store. What are you reading now?

    Hey dyanny, am reading 'The Book Thief' by Zusak. Had heard so much about it, finally am sinking my teeth into it. Is not as great as I expected! But I love WW II lit., so, am still drawn enough to turn the next page.
    Happy reading,
    R

    I see you have "And Ladies of the Club" on your reading list. I love that book and read it every 10 years or so...but am most amazed at what I heard about the author (hope it is true) but she was supposedly 80 when she wrote this (her 1st book). Amazing!

    Thanks so much for accepting my offer of friendship.

    I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed day.

    What are you reading?

    I also just finished Phillipa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl," and am now reading "The Constant Princess," by her also and "Daughter of the Game," by Tracy Grant.

    I too am a writer. I am presently working on a novel that stems from the third story in my first work, a set of interconnected short stories set in Oakland, CA where I live.


    You can read about my short story collection, "Keeper of Secrets...Translations of an Incident" and me at: http://anjuellefloyd.com

    Please visit it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
    Again thanks for being my friend in reading and at shelfari.com

    You're welcome. I'm glad we have the same authors in common. I read mystery/thrillers mostly. I read some historical and romance too.

    Hi! You seem to have the same taste in books as I do. I noticed my favorite authors on your shelf. (especially Michner) It inspired me to add more books to my shelf that I've read. I'd rather read. It also told me some authors I should try. Thanks!

    Hey, what are you reading these days? Have you gotten to Smith's 'Blue Shoes' yet? I've liked his others (in the same series), but some were better than others.

    OMG...you have a Kindle...(I saw it in one of your messages. I want one so badly. I was considering one of the Sony Readers...but I have a Macbook..and its not compatible. I don't want to have to use my business PC for pleasure. Please let me know how you like the Kindle. I have my name down for one...they are still "temporarily out of stock".
