I have worked in various types of book stores for the past 10 years ranging from new independent bookstores to used bookstores as well as a book distributor. If you haven't guessed my favorite past time is books! Despite the fact I currently work in a bookstore, on my days off I can often be found browsing the shelves at the library! Please... more »

    Thanks for the Alice Hoffman recommendations. I wouldn't have picked them out if you hadn't told me. Ice Queen was a lovely read.
    I noticed you have Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino in your favorites list...have you read Out by her as well? It was awesome!

    Hi Lorilee,

    Looks like you've read a couple of really great books recently! I put "Rooftops of Tehran" on my wish list as soon as I heard about it. Looks like what I've been hearing is right on target. I've been curious about "Pie"...now that will go on my list too.

    See you soon,
    Darra

    Hi Lorilee,
    I just finished reading The Various Flavors of Coffee, based largely on your review. I can see why you loved it. It is wonderful!! Thanks for bringing Capella onto my reading radar.

    Great to hear that you enjoyed The Man Who Invented Xmas. I'm a big Dickens fan, so I'll be sure to put this book on my To Read list.

    Your review sealed it! Land of a Hundred Wonders has been in my "must read" stack for a while. I'm moving it now to "up next!" Thanks, Lorilee. D

    Thanks for the heads up on Cortesan. I've already read Allison Weir's Innocent Traitor and loved it. Next on the list for historical fiction is the Lady Elizabeth. Have you read it yet?

    Hi Lorilee,

    I know...I'm addicted too! Since I know we like many of the same books, I check your shelf everday to see what you are reading and have added. Maybe we should link as friends.

    The Trees is part of a trilogy by Conrad Richter, sometimes called The Awakening Land or the Ohio Trilogy. It tells the story of one family from late 1700s through early-mid 1800s as they move west from western PA to the OH "frontier." I think you would really enjoy it, particularly the heroine, Sayward. Best to start with The Trees, then The Fields, and finally The Town (which won the 1951 Pulitzer).

    Just finished Underground America and am looking forward to Saturday evening. I'm so glad you will be there.

    It sure didn't take you long to read "The Gargoyle"!! I should have known!! Saw it in your favs, so I guessed you really loved it. The new Kate Atkinson which is coming out in a week or so is AWESOME!! It's the third one (after 'case histories' and 'one good turn') with Jackson Brodie in it.
    see ya at bookclub!
