Patty F

I have been an avid reader since kindergarten and I used to keep a notebook with all the books I had read and wanted to read listed. This is much easier.

I have been a public librarian in central Virginia for 23 years. I love my job and I love talking about books. more »

    The discussion has been posted for the Good Reads November selection, Mistress of the Art of Death.

    We're doing something different for December to wrap up the year. We've posted a list of all of the books nominated that weren't selected with the hope you'll find the time in December to read one of the books you voted for that didn't win and, then, share your opinion with us! Feel free to also share your thoughts on any of the books you've already read.

    Thank you for the feedback on whether or not to read The Shack. I do have the book and will read it one of these days. I have had many "yes" answers and a few "no" responses--makes it more intriguing.

    Hi Patty-- you requested friendship from me a while ago and its hard to turn down a fellow librarian! I grew up in Maryland and still think the East Coast is Best, even after living in the midwest for many, many years. You have many interesting books on your shelf-- I am going to 'mine' it for good reads!
    Thanks!

    Well I've read "A Song of Fire and Ice", and it is the best series period that I've read, heard of, or seen on television or the big screen. I believe anybody who doesn't read Martin's series is missing an amazing literary treat (not for young ones however).

    Thank you for the recommendation. I received nothing but great replies towards Hobbs, and will definitely be plunging into the series soon.

    Thank you for answering my question about To Kill a Mockingbird, your answer really helped. I have decided to read it when I have time because I have heard so many good things about it!

    Once I have read it (which won't be for a while) I will let you know what I thought of it.

    Patty, I totally understand the life getting crazy thing (my first goes to college next week...need I say more?) You let me know when and we'll discuss. Glad to have you among my virtual friends.

    Hi Patty, I just finished Buechner's "The Magnificent Defeat" and noted in your review that you wished you had someone to discuss it with. I would love to have a virtual conversation with you about this remarkable volume. But where, oh where to start!

    Hope you are well and I will look forward to your reply.

    Blessings!

    thanks for answering my question.
    You really helped me decide to read the perks of being a wallflower.


    When i finish it I'll comeback here and tell you if I liked it.
    I hope I really enjoy it!

    Thanks again!

    Our July selection is The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich. We'd love to see you in our discussion.

    The only responsibility is picking the 4 or 5 books. Sometimes the nominators go ahead and post the books or sometimes they tell us and we do the posting. Whichever you prefer.

    Generally, Brianne or I start the discussions but, if we haven't finished the book in a timely manner, we'll ask the nominator or someone who's finished it to start it. Occasionally someone who wants to get things going goes ahead and starts it. The important thing about the discussion is to just get the questions up there and things rolling;-)

    Friday would be wonderful - that's the start of the new month but if you need a little more time and want to do it on the weekend that's OK, too. Just keep me posted! Thanks for your help and participation!
