Yeah, I read 67 book in 2009!!! Now to see if I can top it for 2010. I enjoy mysteries but do read a few others as you can tell from my shelf. A good mystery series will always get my attention. Here's to another great year in books and to discovering even more new authors during the coming year. Any recommendations are welcome.

    Thanks Nikki, will check out the site. Lucky you. I took on the role of coordinator this year for what sounds like a similar kind of event, but it's for children. Called Storylines Festival. On the family day, which is a free event, we invite the public to come meet their favourite authors/illustrators and take part in fun activities like crafts, face painting, interactive non-fiction exhibits in the "factopia" zone, storytelling, drama and book launches. The event is free to the public and staffed mostly by volunteers. It takes place August 15th, so we're just over the busy phase, will go quiet for 3 wks or so, then mad crazy busy again! Kids love it and leave the event inspired and motivated to read and learn. What more could you want?

    Hi Nikki, just reading your posts. Where was the book fair you were talking about? Is that a trade fair only or open to the public? How does it work? I live in NZ by the way and everything is very small-scale.

    I knew you would cry!! I'm not surprised your mom cried too. Real life is the most powerful I think!! when I was reading the last books in the Southern Vampire series I pounded through them. Now I've slowed down again. I'm reading that "Reigning Cats and Dogs" series by Cynthia Baxter and I'm not totally loving it, but I'm going to finish the second book so I can give them both to you. I hope to have it done by next Friday so I can give them to you at the L.A. County Fair. You're still planning on seeing War aren't you?

    I see you finished Marley & Me. How did you like it? Did you cry? I loved that book!! It looks like you're reading Robert Crais now? I'm reading All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris. You might want to check out this series, even though it has vampires in it!

    The World's Worst Dog??? He looks nice (or is it a she). Doesn't look rabid or would maul people. Tell me, why worst, what did he/she destroy?? :P

    Hi. Susan Wittig ALbert is my friend at Good Reads. I've asked her about is there any more China Bayles books after Nightshade. She said yes-Wormwood comes out in 4/09 and she signed a contract for three books in the series. Great news!

    You're welcome. I have the last two to read-I accidentally reread Indigo Dying (read it in 8/05) and will read Spanish Dagger next month. It's the latest two than the last two out I think you meant.
