Well I'm about half way through Anna Karenina and while I initially thought that it would be dreadful -- I'm really enjoying the story, the characters, and especially Tolstoy's use of language.
I'm really enjoying American Lion -- Jackson was quite an interesting individual. I didn't really like the Blind Assassin all that much. It was pretty hard for me to get through the book actually. I think Atwood is great, but this one just didn't do it for me. We do have electricity -- yeah! It was pretty rough (and cold) for a while there :) And I'll give Daddy-O the message about getting and not going.
Welcome to Better than Starbucks! Look around, make yourself at home, start a new thread or dig up an old one or just read and jump in on the more active ones.
Righty-O. I'm off to the library website to request the Libby Seale books!
Oregon City, really? Well I think I ought to look into it. Should I read the first book first though or does is matter?
Hi there. I think I'll check out that Libby Seale series. I noticed that you have two of the books in your favorites, so they must be good! Hope all is going well down south. We're doing alright here; just taking things one day at a time.
Sorry i havent been on in a while.but to answer your question about the spiderwick books the field guide is the first book.
I buy a lot of books over the internet, and so I keep a wish-list of books in my diary so that when I make an order I can make it a big one. I've added the books to my wish-list, and so will hopefully buy them soon. I've been so busy i barely have had tima to read lately!
Thank you so much! I love historical mysteries and am always looking for new authors. I have not seen these books before, and am not sure whether they are available in Australia (which is where I live). I'll add them to by list of 'want to read' and snaffle them if I see them.
all my best

Thanks for explaining the green book marks to me -- I hadn't quite figured that one out yet.
I have a new Shelfari friend named Kelley. It looks like she has pretty good taste in books.
It sure was nice to see you for a moment yesterday. I'm sorry that I wasn't home so that could have enjoyed your entire visit!
So you had the right author!
Are you friends with Christi yet? She's on here and I'm sure would love to have the Stephen King book suggested to her.
I'm planning on checking out that Cordelia Underwood book -- I need more books to make me laugh.
Dear Auntie J, thanks for your nice note. I will go ahead to read the book. I know I will enjoy it as i read it.
How strange. I just finished reading the book and I don't remember either of those parts.
I did like how she described the mountains in womanly terms. I found it to be a delightful book, though I did find myself irritated by her view of the local indians.
I just started reading The Egg and I. What an enjoyable book! You will certainly like it.
I'm talking about The Kite Runner.
I have a very hard time reading about any sort of abuse to children...
It is a good book. I like the author's writing style. Part of the story involves a child rape and I had (and sometimes still have) trouble shaking the sadness, disgust (whole host of other emotions) I felt when reading that part. It stops me from reading his other books.
If you get emotionally involved stories, beware.
Well camping was fun and we were lucky enough to miss the rain. There were a few sprinkles here and there, but nothing that added up to anything to us Oregonians! It was a good time had by all!
Glad to hear you guys had a good one too!
