    Tell you something
    I am mad about sweets
    I can't live without them
    When I got married my wife used to eat little sugar
    But now she also cannot live with them
    Nowadays I am savouring Mangoes
    They are the sweetest of the fruits
    So you make your name sweetnhigh so I get a little more closer to you
    Regards

    I see that you have put up a profile, and what nice news that you will be a Grandma! I'm a Nana to my two grandsons, one 5 and one 7 yrs old. They live quite far from me in Colorado but we'll see them in a couple weeks when they will be with us for a visit. When is your daughter's due date? Does she live nearby?

    I've been recommending another author to my friends, Sarah Addison Allen who wrote Garden Spells and Sugar Queen. Both are delightful books! They are both on my "I've Read" shelf if you want to check them out. I recently finished Sugar Queen and really enjoyed it. I've recommended it for the July book in the Beach Reads group. I hope they choose it because I don't think anyone would be disappointed and it really would be a great beach book - a quick read with pleasant memories and a good bit of tension to keep you reading.

    The Glass Castle is written by Janette Walls, It is a story of her childhood, she grew up devastatingly poor. Without giving to much away it is her and her families journey. I also like love stories, it is the reason I like to read Nicholas Sparks.

    Isn't Nicholas Sparks just a simple read? I've read most of his books. Have you ever read THe Glass Castle? I loved it!

    I just noticed your request for friendship. I am keeping my list of friends somewhat manageable and don't usually add anyone I don't personally know. But that's not an exclusive rule. I can see that you have a large number of friends on your list so that isn't really a factor for you. :-) Let's see how often we run into each other and maybe you can tell me some things about yourself so that we can become friends. You don't have anything on your profile so I don't know too much about you unless I read through all your posts! I'll decline for now but that might change as we get to know each other. I'm still fairly new and don't want to be overwhelmed; I still work full-time and I'm doing this during my lunch break.

    Shanna Swendson is the author. I didn't realize that being a librarian was what I really wanted to be when I grew up until I had 2 children in school! Talk about a late bloomer. I had never gone to college after high school but I started looking in to it. I registered for classes toward my Bachelor's Degree when I was 16 years out of high school. Graduated 6th in my class after 5 years. I started slow and added classes the next year so I was in school full-time and working part-time (and yes, raising 2 children, taking care of a house, etc.) Then I applied and started working on my Masters of Library Science part-time while working full-time. That was harder! Plus I had a 2 hour commute - hooray for on-line courses now wish I could have done that! Anyway 10 years later I was a full-fledged professional librarian. Just goes to show you that late-bloomers rule!

    I noticed someone suggesting a "fractured fairy tale" to you when I looked up your response to one of the Mitford books. Since we do have some books in common (19 + more I have't yet put on my shelf), I thought I'd recommend a series to you that has what I call "urban magic" since the setting is New York. It is such a delightful chic lit without explicit scenes. The first in the series is called Enchanted, Inc and there is a frog to be kissed. It is funny (I noted Janet Evanovich) and actually believable if you let your imagination loose. Let me know if you try it and if you like it. (I honestly don't get a kick-back even though I recommend this a lot. I'm a librarian and I can't help myself when I find a new author or a series that is out of the mainstream. I also peek to see what people are reading in airports, airplanes and other places where people wait. :-)

    Once Upon a Curse is a cute fairy tale story about a witch who is getting ready to name her suitor/fiance but she doesn't want to name him unless she can put a stop to a curse that was put on her family that turns them mean and ugly if they encounter flowers after their sixteenth birthday. I think it is the third book in the series, but it was a really cute book so I think I am going to have to check out the other two books.
    Thanks for the book referrals I can't wait to check them out!!

    Hey SweetNLow!
    I just finished The Good Guy by Dean Koontz - great book! Currently I am reading Once Upon a Curse since my niece recommended the book and she wants us to have a book in common on our shelves. Tomorrow I am planning on starting The Beach House by James Patterson. Any other ideas for great summer reads? I may have to check out the series you are reading, what are the books about??
