    Hi Jan. I just added the latest Stephanie Plum book to my shelf. I started it earlier today. I read your review and found it to be helpful. Thanks.

    HI Jan. It's okay. I'll check the others. I also got your PM. I like mysteries, cozies, thrillers and romance mostly, with a slice of new genres to try a little bit every year. I do have Sue Grafton on my TBR list. I hope to get to her later this year. And if not, next year. I'll place The Secret Life of Bees on my list for next year. As for Laura Levine, I have that tile on my bookshelf right now TBR and will get to read it sometime next year. Wouldn't you know? As for Janet Evanovich, I also have her on my TBR list-don't know when I'll get to her this year. I've read one JA Jance book last year-Without Due Notice-I think i was the time. I do have the author on my list but won't know when I get to it at this moment. I've finished an inspirational book by Laura Pedersen, which is also Teen Fiction/YA, about life's ups and down. The title is The Big Shuffle, I believe it's part of the series. Just updated it now and will fix more of my shelf later on. I'll be starting Black Rose tomorrow. I'm also reading Whack a Mole by Chris Grabenstein and A Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George. Good to hear from you. Apology accepted.

    Hi Jan, I love my Kindle & find that I read faster on it because you can adjust the font & it just seems to be easier than holding a book. I have a couple of beautiful leather Oberon covers. I love the smell of leather & I feel as if I am holding a nicely bound leather book. I still frequent book stores to look at books & enjoy the smell of the print. There are some DTB I purchase because of the photographs.

    I rarely post on any of the groups I belong to Jan. I have changed some memberships, canceled some but I have difficulty posting because of the size of the groups. I am a member of Kindleboards and do most of my posting there.

    Looking forward to being friends & sharing good reads. :)

    Guess I picked the right book then! Glad it's the one you really wanted. Hope you enjoy it (or did enjoy as I'm quite late with this response - I was away on vacation!)

    Lol, they actually let you check out books like a library, but I didn't do that much, because I have this weird thing about owning books. I don't work there anymore though.

    Hey Jan,
    Thank you for the book:) Sounds like I need to come visit you and spend time in that book store. I don't have any used ones down here. And my son (a non reader blah) informed me I had to many books when I made him help me rearrange my bookshelves this weekend. I finally got a weekend off and I was going to do it so it wouldn't drive me insane anymore.

    Thanks for the heads-up on the Jennie Bentley home repair series -- just haven't found them yet! But, that's one of the things I love about Shelfari, I don't have to depend on sticky notes to remember who/what I've gotten a great lead on!!

    Thanks for the information on Books-A-Million a few weeks ago. I received a membership card today and I already like going there more than B&N.
