Although originally from St. Louis, I have spent most of my adult life in many different places-Annapolis, Md.; Tampa, Florida; and now Richmond,Virginia.
Luckily I have been able to continue a thirty-eight year teaching career in these many places. I married late, but still had my babies before age 40.
Now twenty and eighteen, my son... more »

    Lol! There definitely was such a post - - I think Nicole posted it. It is probably buried deep somewhere. I'll take a quick look, but if I can't find it I know Nicole will be able to.

    I have "The Cellist" now; Thanks, Diane! I'm not sure when it came as I wasn't home from the 20th until last night. I am really looking forward to reading it!

    Sorry it took so long to respond, but I'm up and running again!!!

    Sounds like you are a very busy reader!!! How can you read so many books at once and not confuse them??? I can barely read one at a time, LOL!

    I am reading one of Mary Higgins Clark's latest on a recommendation while I am "taking it easy" although those words are NOT in my vocabulary!!! And lately when I go to bed, when I generally read for about an hour, I now fall deeply asleep absolutely exhausted!!! I am hoping that the dust settles this week and I can get back onto my normal schedule and routine. During the day I've been reading a book by Andrew Murray on Humiliation.....I've thoroughly enjoyed this book and gotten a lot out of it!!!

    Let me know how those books are...and thanks for the heads up on Dubliners!!!

    Love the pumpkin!!! Is that yours???

    Thanks for visiting my shelf. I hope you enjoy Everlost because I did. The second book, Everwild, is pretty dark compared to the first one. I too recommend that one. Yeah, I'm not too big on animal stories but I will read any that are recommended to me.

    Hi Diane, are you reading about Spirit Bear, Enslaved by Ducks or general animals this month? I was just checking out your Plan To Read shelf to get animal ideas.

    I wish I had a great idea. I wrote a note to Amanda on your behalf, but I'm really thinking you should set up another account - - at least temporarily until this gets resolved . . .

    Diane,

    You still have membership in the group - - so that's not the issue. Just for yucks I promoted you to administrator and then demoted you back down to user - - maybe that might shake things up? Keep me posted on what is going on.

    Oh dear! That's so strange . . .I think contacting Amanda was a very good idea. I will try to pull up your account from within PBT and make sure your access settings weren't tweaked somehow by mistake.

    Are you able to write notes in other groups?

    My other suggestion is perhaps setting up another id so you can participate at least temporarily using that. I notice that Shelfari seems to allow duplicate user names - - so you can still be Diane P. You'll need to create a new email address though to sign up.

    I recommend setting up a temp. email address in gmail - - it's easy and free, and then using that email address to create a new Diane P. account. obviously you don't want to redo your shelf, but I'm just thinking it would be good so you can participate in discussions temporarily until the Shelfari powers fix whatever happened!

    The problem with free sites is that their motivation to address individual problems is not very high . . .

    We are waiting to hear from you about which tags you'd like best for the game (so that you don't get stuck with something you're not interested in.) Check out the tags (and let us know) on our Book Bingo Bingers group site. Thank you!
