I am a retired Elementary School Librarian. I read about 200 books a year. I belong to a women's group that is based on reading. We do not read the same books..just share what we read. I am a volunteer at my granddaughter's school library. I buy all my books but pass them on to my daughter-in-law and then the book club so cant mark "own" on...more »

    Wow! Well I always wondered what it would be like to be an Elementary school teacher. I guess a librarian would be about the same, but perhaps a little different. Is this women's group you belong to on or off-line? That is neat you are not required to read the same books it would make it more interesting I do believe. I don't do any volunteering to tell you the truth I wouldn't know where to start. I usually get books from my mom is well. I have got the whole family reading now. My fiance, my 10 yr. old step son, & even my 3rd old son likes being read to. I will read him a book, & then he will re read it to me his way, lol. Do you do your scrapbooking on or off line or both? You play computer games? Do you play club pogo? I only had cats w/ my ex-husband I grew not to like them. My parents have a cat, looks a lil like yours but don't know if it's simease or not. The kids enjoy it. We can't have any pets here @ our apts. Looking to move to the country within a year maybe 2 at the most though. I'm on the last chapter of Night Shadow. Hopefully today I will get to finish it, but my 3 yr. old is sick so we shall see. tc. ttys new friend. Tammie

    Hi, Marty...Thanks for the note and the referral to two authors that I haven't read yet. I will put them on my reading list for the next trip to the library. I haven't read any fiction for over 10 years until Jenny got me started again. I spent those years reading religion/theology and inspirational works. I have so enjoyed the "gentle reads" in the Large Print that I am devouring 4-5 books a week now. I suppose one would say that I am a hopeless romantic when I tell you that the
    men of the Harrigan Clan are my "knights in shining armour" LOL! I hope you enjoy "Morning Light" but beware as I have dibbys on Clint! LOL!

    Hey Marty! Thanks for thinking of me. Ireland was fabulous. We rented an apartment in Westport and I took in the inspiring scenery of Clew Bay that I hope will inspire my next story. Also took the train to Dublin for a few days to raid the book stores. I never read vampire stuff either until I met a lady in a writing class and read Mary Janice Davidson's Betsy series so I could understand the genre better and help critique the lady's writing. I laughed out loud so much I've become a big MJD fan myself. This is humorous vampire writing, however. My last encounter with serious vampire stories was a Bela Lugosi movie, though I have read a book of disturbingly unique Irish vampire stories. I'll have to check out this Twilight Series when I catch up with my current "To Be Read" list. Thanks again for your kind note! I always enjoy hearing from you.
    My best, Pat

    Hi Marty! Thanks so much...I'll definitely pick them up now because I do enjoy the vampire stories. One of other favorite authors, Maggie Shayne, writes two good series about vampires & witches.
    knowing myself I'll probably buy them all at the same time since i know a few of them are already out so i won't have to worry about getting them when i finish one.

    thanks again! :)

    If you cant find Sandy's books try Amazon. I get a lot of my books there. I think Man In A Kilt is in Borders. Also Highlander for Christmas is fun.

    Love your kitties as well. CJ (Captain JAckie) is 1 1/2 now and a very dark 98% Himalayan Brown Siamese. Found her in the back yard when she was a few weeks old.
    A Man In A Kilt is wonderful. All Sandy Blair's books are a wonderful romp. Enjoy and keep in touch

    Love the picture! I looked through your books and found a couple that I would like to read "A man in kilt" and "The Divide" which I own but have never read, silly me. I loved all of Evans books but never read that one. I have always gone to the library since I was very young, my mother always read to us. I can remember going to the book mobile in Spokane during the summer months. All that information for free, still keeps me in awe. Wendy
