I am an avid reader, always have something going but don't get to read as much as I'd like. I am a library sub in a school district and enjoy interacting with the kids about books also. Besides reading I love to do cross stitch, knitting, crochet and whatever else catches my fancy.

    Sorry about not responding to your note. I've been so busy with the end of the school season. I can't wait until tuesday when I"m free for a few weeks. You should take a picture of your project and put it online. I would love to see it. I'm a newbie to counted cross stitch so I still make a few mistakes. I usually buy the whole kit from the Stichery online or the craft store. I wish I had more time for it but between work and everyting else time is fleeting. Happy to hear from you =)

    Hi, a reader that does cross stitch I love it. I wish I had more time to spend on these two passions. How about you? do you do counted cross stitch too? I'm currently working on a portrait in counted cross stitch. We have to share what we have done. Happy reading =)

    You are right---I have recommended "The Art of Racing in the Rain" to many people---and I am not a dog lover!!! Saw a young woman walking three dogs in the parking lot and told to be sure and read the book!!

    Hi Scarlett,
    Like the waterfall in the background!! Lookslike you are from a Northen Exsposure!! I guess I should be about the "friend " thing and start to ask people to join my non-existent Friend list. So would you like me to add you to that list?
    As soon as I can find a suitable pic, I'll add it so there won't be that white cut-out!

    Hi Scarlett,

    Maybe you can help me ...

    I was just browsing the Suspense and Thrillers Group. I noticed in your comment you were able to write in bold letters the titles of the books you are reading.

    How do you create bold fonts in a comment? If you have a moment can you help computer illiterate me how to create bold fonts?

    Thank you,
    ~Toastie~

    I see from your shelf, we have some of the same taste in books. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan--which I liked, reminded me of Women of the Silk. Have you read it? If you liked Snow Flower, you will love this one.

    If you found Still Alice interesting, you might be intrigued by The Bird House (Simon & Schuster) which the Library Journal called “a great title for book clubs, and especially fans of Lisa Genova’s Still Alice.”

    Thanks so much – happy to connect on Shelfari if you’re up for it.

    I should write more reviews and I've been trying to add one when I finish a book but I never did like writing essays in English although I love reading so I guess I still have a little mental block there. Now you've got me curious about her daughter's book so will have to put it on the TBR list :)

    So sorry, just now saw your message. I love Hollywood biographies and I was really interested in reading Loretta's as I remember her show from TV and the beautiful way she always swept into the room. It was an OK book but not as good as I had hoped. It had a more religious/spiritual slant to it and I was more interested in her "life", from childhood through her "movie star" years. I am a very spiritual person myself but I found myself getting a little bored periodically. I owned this book in HB and I never usually part with them but for some reason, I just wasn't interested in keeping it and sold it on PBS. You might want to get it from the library.

    Hi Paula, No this is not the same book. One of my all time favorites was "A Voice in the Wind." The main character was Hadassah. It is part of a series " Mark of the Lion" This is the first book. It is inspirational fiction by Francine Rivers. I loved the whole series. I usually think inspiraltional fiction is boring but this was not. It takes place in biblical times. She's a great writer. I'll have to read your book. I'll put it on my shelf! I never read Reliable Wife.

    I would try again in a couple of days to change your picture. They may be working on it or something.
