    Hey, I love your shelf. What do u think about the touch of dead? And do u think u know when the nest sookie stackhouse novel is coming? I mean, there's still things that arent figured out about sookie's life. About Eric, and her future, Brandon the enemy of sookie's great grandfather, her brother, Bill and all.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen! I hope you enjoy Rising Sign. :)

    As far as Piers Anthony is concerned, what series are you interested in reading? If you'd like something very light and fun, I recommend A SPELL FOR CHAMELEON of the Xanth series. If you're interested in something a little more scifi/fantasy, I'd do SPLIT INFINITY of the Apprentice Adept series. For something that explores a more spiritual point of view, ON A PALE HORSE of the Incarnations of Immortality series is great to try. A journey focus - VIRTUAL MODE of the Mode series. Historical: go for SHAME OF MAN of the Geodessey series.

    I hope this helps! :) Let me know what you choose!

    A bloke who love to take a wonderful poke -- okay that little rhyme was quite hokey :D

    Well thank you fair lovely maiden that you are.
    I have no problem admitting that I love romance.

    Good luck on your college work--it isn't long until you are done now.

    Uni-sex --] well I do particularly like those of you fine specimens of the opposite sex LOL

    An ultimate favorite--position?? oh you probably mean book? or genre?

    Actually it wasn't CS Lewis that caught my eye.

    There are a couple of things that caught my eye in ever such a good way.
    First, your like of romance. Second that you are a student as I love university. Third that you are going to be a librarian. I worked at a library as the second job I ever did as a teen into college until I got laid off in a budget cut. And drum roll please.......
    Third---cause woman with long hair,pretty smiles, and glasses are simply irresistable :DDDD

    That is awesome that despite her struggles she has been able to maintain her interest in reading. So many students don't.

    I got to visit your wonderful country back gosh about 20 years ago now I would say. My Aussie friend as the oppressive empire (oh no you commonwealth nation you) says Good day mate! (is it lass/lassie for the female version of the famous phrase?)

    Hi Karen:) Both! Some are more interesting,and some are more boring, but I like that I have more choices after finishing most of the required classes. How is school going for you?? P.S. I actually started my first official librarian position a few weeks ago- I really LOVE it!!

    Hi Karen: I'm just finishing up my 1st year, full time. I was really interested in the preservation and archiving aspects of rare books, but now I'm kinda leaning toward Info Architecture. I really like web applications and technology. I still might just stay on an extra year and do it all;) Its hard to choose. I'm always interested in what people are taking in Library Science and why :)

    I've never read Trudi Caravan, what book would you recommend from her? By the way, what author did you decide to check out after looking at my list?
