Avid reader, mother to 3 sons in the arts, fine artist specializing in oils and graphite, I particularly enjoy the works of Terry Pratchett, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, and Alexander McCall Smith.

    Welcome to the Home Gardening group, Libby.

    Most of us are just beginning the gardening season; group activity should pick up shortly. In the meantime, feel free to introduce yourself, comment or start a discussion, Rummage through the group shelf; if you would like to add a book, write a short review; and I will put your selection on the shelf.

    Well thank you!

    I'm sorry that I forgot to post that link to the group when I first wrote it.

    Sigh. Gettin' older messes up the memory.

    I really like Odd Thomas, I'll have to get the next ones. I never see Terry Pratchett but will make it a point to look next time.
    The other good book I read recently was Edgar Sawtelle.

    Just wanted to comment on your avatar. It's beautiful. I see we have quite a few books in common. Pratchett is one of my all time favorites as well. Always good to meet another fan.

    Hi Libby! I'm from the Author, Author group and wanted to welcome you to our forum. November’s featured author is Nora Roberts, and we have two alternate authors, O Henry and Anne Rice. If you're interested, you can choose a book written by any (or all!) 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!

    Hi Libby- thanks for joining art biz- I must admit the quietness over there had me a little discouraged but glad to hear that someone was reading the posts! I hope you'll feel welcome to contribute your thoughts and ideas often!

    Greetings CROAH member!


    We are now accepting nominations for the next group read to cover the fourth US President, James Madison.

    Please send your suggestions via one of 2 ways:

    a) a private note to either Regina or Dog Lover (this method reveals your email address to us), or

    b) use the "Questions About this Group" text box found on the member's tab. This sends an email to both administrators and masks your email address.

    Please do NOT post your nomination to the site's discussion tab.

    Please include the title, author, and brief description of the book. It would also be nice if you included the Shelfari book page URL.

    Nominations will be accepted through the 18th. Nominations will be posted and voting will take place through the 25th. We will post the selected book on the 26th.

    Because we are approaching the Holidays a revised schedule will be followed for the remainder of 2009 and beginning of 2010. We will vote for the Madison read in October, post discussion questions in November, skip December, vote on Monroe reads in January, and post discussion questions in February.

    A suggestion has been made to continue the extended reading schedule past the Holidays and provide 2 months between book selections. We would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Would it help you? Would you lose momentum? Are you too busy to participate on the current schedule.

    Please post your comments on this proposed scheduling change to the nomination thread found at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/146618/James-Madison-Nominations-are-Open

    The four books we've chosen since the group started have been fabulous. We look forward to seeing the nominations for the fifth.

    Thanks,

    Regina & DL

    Greetings CROAH members!

    The nominations are in for the CROAH September group read about Thomas Jefferson.

    You'll find the ballot at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/137240/Vote-for-Thomas-Jefferson-Reads---September-2009

    This is a "ballot" therefore...

    Please vote only once.

    Please indicate only a vote "for" - do not vote against a title.

    Please do not include any sales talk or justification for your vote - just "yae" or "for".

    The last 3 reads have been just fabulous. With this range of nominations, it looks as though we'll have another winner for our 4th group read!

    Thanks so much to all of you who submitted nominations - great job!

    Lookin' forward to your votes,

    DL

    Hi Libby, What a beautiful drawing of your son, and what wonderful talent you have. I am looking forward to your next drawing. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Welcome to our group Libby. I hope that you will find as much enjoyment with your new group as the joy that you so obviously derive from your drawing. I hope that we will hear from you more often, welcome aboard, Silvana

    Great drawing of Chauncey! I only wish they were larger or had an option for larger so we could see them better.
    I'm getting Nefertiti at the library later this week.

    Can you post your review on the JARS Search for Nefertiti discussion thread to get the discussion going? Or, can you think of any good discussion topics/questions/notes to add to the thread?

    Take your time, there are no deadlines... I actually haven't been reading Search for Nefertiti yet, but I will start soon. I was waiting on you and your friend. I already read Michelle Moran's Nefertiti, we can discuss both books whenever you're ready.

    Nope he hasn't---thanks for the suggestion.

    You artwork is simply incredible. My students tease me all the time about my drawings --] I have to label everything so they know what it is--] it's so bad I have to tell them it's a cow even.

    My son on the other hand--] oh my gosh--] he is an incredible artist.

    I wish I had his and your talent.

    I forgot which one, it was a long time ago. It was Mitford with the Anglican priest and I did appreciate the honest description of a Christian life. Struggles and not constant victory.
    No matter there's so much other stuff to read. Homey is the right word exactly.
    I'm going to invite a couple of people that read all the time pretty soon to Shelfari.
    I'm keeping my eye out for Terry Pratchett. I don't think I've read any of her stuff.
