If you want to befriend me; please leave me a note - I'm otherwise inclined to decline.

Needless to say: I love reading! I read all sorts of literature, but my favorite genres are fantasy and historical books, also a bit of crime for relaxation and ... well, lots of children's books (I'm a childrens librarian and have two kids of my own... more »

    Hi there, I think you've got the wrong Angie..I don't think I've ever sent anyone a message on Shelfari, especially about imposing authors! :)

    Well, you're looking at 40 years of reading. Actually it's just a fraction of my forty years of reading. I'll never remember them all. I usually have at least 2 books going at once -- one fiction and one non-fiction. I'm having a little trouble getting through The Outliers, since I am not much impressed by Gladwell's books. I wish I hadn't bought this one. Already Dead, by Denis Johnson, however, is plenty good. I see a lot of Kerouac in him, and maybe a touch of Faulkner. My sin recently gave me a bio of Krushchev, which will probably be my next non-fiction.

    Thanks for accepting the invitation. Yes, I like Beagle and Pratchett -- many wonderful books between them. Read a truly amazing short story by Beagle recently but can't recall the title. Danish? No. That would be nice -- but in the world of publishing I am a dust mite. Maybe some day. We shall see.

    I saw that we had a lot of books in common, as well as a mutual distaste for the Twilight series. I am wondering if you can recommend a series, or a book along the lines of the Chronicles of Prydain, by Lloyd Alexander.

    JARS is starting East of Eden next week. As we read, remember to post your thoughts, notes, and/or questions. Don't forget to acquire a copy of Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters because we'll be reading that immediately after. Can't wait to see what everyone has to say!

    Har set at boggnasker har fået anmeldelser fra Dotbot - det er godt at de ikke er helt væk :)
    Finn gør et godt stykke arbejde. Jeg synes dog at det er lidt synd at hjemmesiden er lidt rodet at komme rundt i.

    Jeg tænker også på MGB - har nogen reddet dem?

    Jeg er også spændt på den nye side - jeg håber at det bliver rigtig godt og er ikke i tvivl om at det bliver flot. Men afspejler det børnebibliotekerne? Det er lige det der med troværdigheden, ikke?

    Gad vide hvorfor ingen tænkte på fortaellingen.dk men på navlestreng...
    I en af mine grupper i går talte vi en del om det med samarbejdet. Boggnasker kører heftig rss på alle vores anmeldelser og det er super fint - vi reklamerer også for dem. Men vi taler aldrig sammen. Jeg kom til at tænke på at alle ligesom arbejder i små satellitter :)

    I øvrigt:
    Kender du http://tegneseriesiden.dk

    Jeg ser rigtig mange muligheder herinde. Det er også nemt at overskue.

    Vi har ikke så langt hjem - bor bare lige på den anden side af vandet. Vi tog dog først forbi Janus' farmor på 90 der bor nede i skoven hvor vi var. Skøn dame der ryger cerutter og følger med i politik - og som helst vil snakke om det :)

    Hvor lang tid tog det for dig at komme hjem? Kommer du til status over børnelitteraturen på lørdag i kbh.
    Jeg har besluttet mig for at maile Kirsten fra Dotbot - jeg tænker lidt på alt det materiale der ligger på siden - hvor forsvinder det hen? Måske kan jeg hjælpe med noget.

    Nå, nu skal jeg af sted på aftenvagt.
    Hav en god dag:)

    Hi Loweyes! I'm from the Author Author group and just wanted to welcome you to our group. As you might already know, January's "featured" author is Neil Gaiman, and we have two "secondary" authors, Ursula Le Guin and Terry Pratchett. If you're interested, you can choose a book written by one of these three authors, and after you've read it, please come post a review and star rating so the rest of us in the group know what you read and whether you liked it or not. Happy Reading!

    I know my welcome is a bit late, but we're just getting caught up!

    Which French or Dutch graphic novels would you recommend? I really like everything I've read by Joann Sfar. I will check them out, sure.
    You should read Sabriel before you read Lirael, it's the second in a trilogy.

    Thanks for adding me, it's a nice thing when someone either finds you interesting enough or shares your tastes enough that they want to add you as a friend. That's cool you read graphic novels--which genre do you tend towards? Ummmm favorite books you should read; lemme think. Something I just recently read that I really enjoyed was Skullduggery Pleasant, one of my favorite fantasy/sci-fi books is Lirael and one of my favorite graphic novels is Blankets. And one of the best books I've ever read was Understanding Comics.

    Thank you for your kind words. We always called our pets our fur family too. Turtle was a very tender little soul. She would never fail to come over for a snuggle and she was very timid but her purr and meow were like thunder and opera. I miss her soft presence and her powerful vocals.

    Life is a little rough at the moment. My sweet kitty who was a constant companion for 14 years passed away. I'm really missing her.

    I posted months on the site, but nothing more. I'd say start discussions when you want to and let me know. I can post messages to notify.
