    Hello, I'm your new follower! I saw your review of Jo Nesbo's Nemesis, and that led me to your Shelf, where I saw that we had quite a few books in common. I'm sure that you get recommendations all the time, but I thought I'd add one more - Castle Freeman's "Go With Me". It's sort of a Northwoods, gothic, featuring some townies bent on helping a damsel in distress...an overlooked jewel in my humble opinion. Happy Reading, Alfred

    Awesome! So glad to hear! You won't regret it! Hunger Games was a thrilling read. It's so much fun when children get old enough to finally read and appreciate novels. You just hope that your passion for books eventually sticks with them. At least the memories of reading together at night never fade. It is one of my favorite memories from childhood. Am reading "People of the Book" and saw that you loved it. Yay! Am really enjoying it so far.

    Oh, and when you guys finish Harry, I recommend (if you don't already have a billion books already lined up) the Percy Jackson series. It's is a wonderful series for boys (and girls) ... hysterically funny, witty, educational without being boring, and a superb introduction to greek mythology and greek literature. And written by a wonderful (former) 5th grade teacher!

    Hi! Yes, I loved "The Painted Veil"! Thought it was a great story. Haven't seen the movie, but realized I'd heard of this story before while reading it. Not sure from where. HP&GOF is awesome! Love Rita Skeeter's antics. And the lake scene. And Dobby!!! Have you read the Hunger Games games? Unbelieveably awesome! Probably too much for your young son, but you might love it. The movie comes out in March. It's absolutely thrilling and a really quick read (I literally could not put the book down...not even to pee!!!) :) Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

    Awesome! You're reading another great kids book!!! Riordan is an amazing YA author. He's got a great sense of humor and I LOVED how he wove together the Percy Jackson series. How is the Harry Potter marathon proceeding? Taking a break to enjoy some Percy antics? (BTW: my absolutely favorite chapter title of all books is ch 1 of Lightning Thief, "I accidently vaporized my pre-algebra teacher"...great stuff!)

    Turns out C&P is not one of my favs by Dostoyevsky. Didn't think it really "said" anything. But, I'm sure there are legions of fans who would vehemently disagree. Oh well.

    I'm working on my PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Was a water quality/water resource specialist in the past and have, temporarily, given up my fairly lucrative career to venture back into the world of academia. Oh joy. :) Nah, I'm actually enjoying being a student again.

    HP & the Chamber of Secrets is great! I loved the flying car and Professor Lockhart! Hey, did you ever finish reading the second "Outlander" book ("Dragonfly in Amber")? Did you progress any further? Just wondering...

    Yeah, I like switching things up frequently. I've had "Crime and Punishment" on my TBR shelf forever so thought it was time to get on with it. Harry, though, I could read all day, every day. If you haven't heard the audio version, you must, must, must!!!! Jim Dale does an extraordinary job of bringing the characters to life! It's my audiobook of choice on long road trips. Hope all is well!

    Hi Michelle! Long time we haven't chatted! I see you're reading the first HP book. Yay!!! They are wonderful! You'll become so addicted. The first book is great, but each subsequent one gets better and better as the plot thickens. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

    My favorites of Maguire's are Wicked, Tales of an Ugly Stepsister, and Mirror, Mirror. I am pretty much done with Patricia Cornwell as her books became formulaic. I have not read Book of the Dead.

    Hi Michele, thanks for your notes, good to meet ya! I really love 'Raising Your Spirited Child', I need it for my 3yr old!! He's the reason I don't log into Shelfari as often as I'd like and it took me 3 weeks to reply. Will take a look at your bookshelf as well.

    I've read a few. I like him but never as much as I expect too.

    Thanks for posting a review on The Last Dickens, I'd been curious about this novel but kept shying away from it after my experience with the Poe Shadow, which I'd had high hopes for but was let down by.

    Will do. I currently taking a literature course this semester. It doesn't even seem like a class since I get to READ.
