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 »

    Marty, I recorded MRS. MIRACLE last week and finally got to watch it last night. What did you think of it? I thought it was pretty good, but wish they would have included the in-laws and their problems too. I thought they were an interesting part of the book.

    I'm reading the Robyn Carr Virgin River series right now and I like it. I kind of wish I'd read her Grace Valley series first since some of the characters overlap. I feel like I'm reading out of order...which drives me nuts.

    Hi Marty, I read some of the Shirley, Goodness & Mercy books a few years ago. I liked them. I have a bunch more Debbie Macomber books in my TBR pile. I usually enjoy her books. Have you read ONE NIGHT? This book kind of different for this author. The hero and heroine work together but do not get along. They are sent on a trip. While they are driving, their car breaks down and a man picks them up to give them a ride. Suddenly the heroine recognizes the driver as a man featured on America's Most Wanted. I really enjoyed that book.

    Ditto, Marty H. When you post that a book's good I know it's one I can rely on. Just that there isn't enough hours in a day to read all I want to - and play on this computer, too. I spend so many hours doing this; but I love it.

    That sounds good. Have you read all of the books in the series. I enjoy reading a book series because you really get to know the characters.

    Thanks Marty! I was wondering if I would have to read them in order. So, the house numbers go up as the series progresses?

    Thank you very much for your note, Marty--I'll definitely take a peek at your shelf very soon. And thanks for the recommendation. I always enjoy starting in on a new author and she seems like a big one in the romance genre industry.

    'Whitney, My Love' is my favorite McNaught novel so far. She wrote that novel so fantastically. I remember readnig it and literally feeling every emotion that the main characters went through throughout the twists and turns of the plot. Genius.

    I'm highly looking forward to all the books I have left to read by her.

    No problem! We fixed an issue last week where the discussions were updated (due to editing or removal) but the change wasn't showing up on the page immediately. If this happens to you again, please let me know (and include a link to the discussion you've updated that isn't working). Thanks!

    I was really impressed with The Wizard of Seattle. It didn't feel dated and was very good concidering I don't like Time travel books either.

    Hi Mary, I've been in Western NY, so haven't been checking my Shelfari page, but I'm delighted you enjoyed Aggie. I'm about to start her next book. I always look forward to that so much.

    Hope you've had a lovely summer.

    Thanks for the info! I have applied everywhere. At least, I have my online college classes until I can finally get in the classroom.
