I'm retired, which is heavenly because it means I have lots of time to read. I love my Kindle and my local library too. Favorite genres include Appalachian and southern fiction, Kentucky authors, mystery, classics, biography and memoir, history and historical fiction.
My favorite quote on books is from Erasmus: "When I get a little money I... more »

    Hi Margaret,

    I see A Tree Grows In Brooklyn on your reading shelf

    For me it was very interesting that I liked it as much years after I had read it.
    One book I'll never outgrow

    Always nice to hear from another Kentuckian. I work at the Daviess County Public Library in Owensboro. Where do you live?

    I'm in Kentucky too! (Louisville). I joined this site in late 2009 but got busy and forgot all about it. Now I'm trying to catch up my list of all of the books I've read. If you like Christian books, I wrote two in 2010. If you want to check them out, they are, "From Zero to Christian in Just 35 Years" and "Missing Andy: The Journey From Grief to Joy." See you around!

    I do hope to catch up with some classics if I ever get the Kindle in my hot little hands. I cannot wait and the delivery time keeps eluding me. I want to read The ed Queen also and there are lots I want to read (if I do not fall asleep and drop the thing though)

    Hi, I am getting a Kindle ay time now, the latest one which is supposed to be better. I look forward to expanding my reading of classics or some I have already read in real book form. More than I can cope with really. I live in England ana dhave many classic books in my collection but lots of others as well. Want to get The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory soon on Kindle as it is not too expensive. A world at my fingertips (wnever it arrives)

    Hi,

    Hit a system hiccup as I was examining your combination request for the Elvis thing. It ended up saying I had rejected the request when I didn't even have a chance to look at it. Will you please resubmit?

    So sorry for this hassle,

    BC

    I am so sorry for taking so long to answer you...I've been a little busy. No, don't remove your review, if you haven't already. I'll just add your review to our shelf but not add the "dystopia" tag.

    Hi, I think I added Twenty Acres and no Mule as well as Appalachian Girl. I have a kindle too and they just made The New York Times Book Review available on it for $2.99 a month! I use the kindle mostly for travel..when we went to China last year I loaded up 17 books. It was great not to have to carry a ton of books with me. I use the public library mostly but they're down to being open only 4 days a week and that's killing me. Now I buy some used books from Amazon too. We don't have a good used book store in Charlotte. Good to hear from you, Judy

    Good morning. Just wanted to ask, did you want me to tag "The Yellow Wallpaper" as dystopia? It isn't tagged as such, and after reading your review, I was still a little unclear if it fell into such a category. I did add your review to the shelf though. Let me know :0)

    Enjoyed looking at your shelf and picked up a few new titles. What I need is a book on the best of everything after 60! Judy
