    Hi Alice, thanks for writing. I have "My stroke of insight" on hold at the library. I love books about the medical profession. I have put the others you suggested on my wish list. I have heard of them all but not read any so appreciate your input. I thought I had read something by Alan Furst but checked and I haven't. I'm interested in the siege of Leningrad and I understand there's a new fiction book out about that. Although I haven't read The Nine, I did read The Brethren several years ago. I've read some other books by Doris Kearns Goodwin too. Her husband was a JFK advisor. Hope to hear more from you, Judy (at school I had a t-shirt that said Conan the Librarian!)

    HI, Nice to find another retiree on this site! I retired ten years ago. I was looking to see who had read A Woman in Berlin and ran across your picture. Amazing book! We have many in common too. Judy

    Hi Alice!

    I haven't had a group invite for awhile, but I think if you go to "My Shelfari" there at the top of the page, the drop-down menu will give you an option for "What's New". Somewhere on the What's New page should be new invitations, I think; you might see something that says "You have new invitations" and you might need to click that. They keep reorganizing the site so it's hard for me to know exactly what the procedure is now :\ If you still can't get it, let me know and I'll ask Amanda!

    Hi Aunt Alice!
    Mary sent me a note on here, so of course I had to drop you a note as well. I saw you have Plague of Doves on your Planning to Read list; that book has been flying off the shelf in the library. Please let me know what you think of it!!

    Alice -- this site looks like fun -- though I haven't figured how to navigate it yet. When I saw Angie's shelf with THE KNOWN WORLD I yelled yippeee! More later ... I'll be seeing you face book.
    Love,
    M
