    Hi Gentle,
    Tell me about 'The Gentleman's Daughter' on your shelf. It's an interesting subject but could lend itself to dryness as well. Does it flow?

    I noticed you added one of my all time favorites to your shelf - 'The Hiding Place.' Did you love Corrie and her family? I visited her home in Holland last year. An amazing experience!

    Thanks! My husband and I are currently cleaning out our garage for the first time since we moved two years ago and we are unearthing several boxes of books. It's so much fun to see a book I'd forgotten about and really enjoyed. I am trying to get them all logged into Shelfari. I find I'm keeping more than I am donating to the library because I can't bear to part with them. They really are like old friends!

    I loved that one too! It seems we have the same taste in movies. Tell me, what was the response to Gentle Journey after the tour? I hope you sold a bunch!

    Isn't it a wonderful book? I believe the author did a lot of research and captured Jane beautifully. Have you seen the movie, Becoming Jane, with Jane Hatheway? I enjoyed it as well.

    Peace GentleJourneyAuthor. Hearing that a person has been touched by "a gentle gladness" by just being myself, it really means a lot more to be a professed religious. I am glad for you too. When events in life go rough, I do remember Jesus who has trodden the same road. Yet He is not of the past alone. He makes himself present to my "present" and leads me to the future with confidence. You've got a lot in your shelf. I'll find time to browse them. Enjoy your reading moments.

    You're welcome. I have ways to go like getting to my goal at 90 K and fixing plot holes. It's going to be a long haul. I'll check that book out.

    Well, now you have a face, such as it is, to go with the name ;-) I'm glad you joined us. Although I keep telling people that Shout Life is better. Of course Shelfari explores what people are reading, that's a plus. If they'd just make navigation a little easier.

    If you had accepted my invitation, I was going to suggest you look through my books. I figured, as many as we already had in common, there must be more. Besides, with you being a retired English teacher, I knew your bookshelves were only starting to grow. I still haven't gone through my own books that I own. The ones shown as "own" here are mostly my husband's. Well, I'll talk to you later, new friend!

    I appreciate your note about Tom Sawyer. I read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Twain for an american lit class while I was in college and I had really enjoyed it, accents and all.

    I just took a look through your shelf, too. I love your taste. I added two of your books to my wish list (The Lamb's Supper and the book by St Therese of Lisieux).

    Actually, not a few of the books I have came from my Mom (Great Lion of God, Life of Christ). She's the inspiration for my interest in such books and has from time to time purchased more and more complex theological books for me (such as studies on Christology) for Christmas and birthday gifts.

    Like you, her husband (my dad) passed away from cancer (back in 2001). They were married for 45 years. And like you, she delights in her grandchildren.

    Anyways - thank you. :-)
