Hi, Colleen: Great to hear from you! Thanks for letting me know about the Affinity movie. I was thinking it would be a great movie as I was reading the book.

I have only started the Physick Book - about 20 pages in so far, but I'll let you know how it goes.

I hope you're doing well! =)

Hi There!

Aha! Now I see where I picked up on the title Apologize, Apologize -- it was from your profile! I forgot I'd even visited here.

Anyway, it's on the way to me from the library. Did you enjoy the book?

Hi Indy!
Thanks for the compliments! Your kids are KeeeUTE! As soon as Earth Hour has happened, I will post a pic of my kidlets. They are the 4-legged variety. I just bought a digital camera so have been trying to get a photo of the two of them. Can't even get one with their eyes open! My tabby is sleeping next to my pc as per usual. He sometimes rolls over and poof! there goes the email.
Don't you just love LT? I even bought a t-shirt. Which I will wear on the first day of my upcoming booksale and hopefully other local LTers will identify themselves. I LOVE booksales! Went to one on Sunday (50 kms round trip). Going to one this Friday after work which is over an hour away. Then one a week this wednesday and then mine so soon I will be over the 1500 mark. It's become an obsession! I keep telling people that because I run a book group, I'm storing up books for future possibilities for the group - more like I'm a squirrel with acorns.
You didn't like the Soul Thief? I picked up a copy recently because of a recommendation. Hope to get to it this summer. As soon as the June bkgrp title is done, I feel 'let out of school' & go hog wild with reading everything from trash to classics. It's so liberating, just like when you were a kid. I'm in school part-time though, but it's still all good.
How's the Uninvited? Looks to be scary. And what is a BookCrosser?
I enjoy chatting up books with people from all over. I love this site but if I spent half the time reading that I do here, I would be much further ahead with my ticker! I have to update it but have forgotten my password... duh!
Cheerios,
Clamato

I do the same thing!! I just bought two books earlier this week and then I went on Amazon yesterday and bought two more! I haven't even read the 5 gazillion other ones on my shelves yet...I haven't posted them on here either.

I've resigned myself to the fact that it will take a lifetime for me to get them all organized...so I'm in no hurry. :)

Hi Indy,

Thanks for the compliment about my bookshelves. Sorry I didn't reply to you back in March. I have been offline for about 6 months because I have been so busy with work and family. I have cut back my days recently so hopefully I will have more time read and visit Librarything. I have just finished reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and quiet enjoyed it. I will have a closer look at your library and might get some ideas about what to read next.

I like the idea of reading books in the car on audio, have never done it but will have to give it a go.

Kind regards,

Amanda

Hi Coleen, News certainly travels fast on LT! Yes, indeed, I did rate Edgar Sawtelle as a 5-star book. It had a huge emotional impact on me. I just fell into his world and way of thinking. It helps that I'm a dog lover and believe that dogs communicate with us on many levels if we give them a chance. I think the author must be a genius as I was even mesmerized by detailed explanations of breeding dogs. But this is so much more than a dog book. I just finished writing my review on my profile page. I purposely didn't give too much of the story away as I hope many readers want to experience the book in their own way. Let me know what you think if you read it.

Donna828 által bejegyzett 6:29 pm (EST) -kor a Jun 29, 2008

hi there

According to my computer it says that our libraries are the same. You have a ton of books. Have you read most of them?

melissagagnon által bejegyzett 4:48 pm (EST) -kor a Jun 27, 2008

Thanks for your comment on my pic. It's a stock photo of the library at Trinity College. I've never been there, but I like to joke that that's a picture of the library I hope to have in my house one day. ;) I also have to point out that there's a strange coincidence that your user name has "88" in it which is the number of books that we share! (And plenty of my favorites in common as well!) Thanks for saying hi! Cheers!

Thank you for your interest in my library. We do seem to have many books in common. I, too, enjoy the book search at garage sales, used bookstores, and --the mother lode-- library book sales. I'm off for a week end in Kansas City tomorrow to see my grandson get baptized and, lo and behold, there just happens to be the Johnson County FOL book sale. I won't get there until the last day, but I figure all the popular mainstream books will be gone and make it easier to get the ones I'm really interested in. Just love all that "book stuff!" ~Donna~

Rarcar1 által bejegyzett 10:43 pm (EST) -kor a Jun 10, 2008

Thanks for the info on the booksale, however, I will be at my cousin's wedding. This is also the weekend of Printer's Row bookfair in Chicago. So many things going on and I can't go to any! I would be interested in the next book sale. I'll be in IN in two weeks and driving through in 3. As for audiobooks, I am now downloading most of them from audible.com. I would like to trade suggestions but can't really trade the actual books since they are downloaded right to my ipod. Take care, Erin

I just started listening to What the Dead Know by Laura Lipman and noticed you have already listened to it. I have to admit that I was starting to become dazed listening to her voice. I had to shut it off for a while. How did you like it?

It means they are still out with the book marks in them, but I haven't picked them up in months!

I like to look at other winners libraries, too. It just confirms my suspicions on what that algorithm is really looking for. ;o)

clamairy által bejegyzett 9:49 pm (EST) -kor a Mar 28, 2008

Coleen, if you're obsessed with bookcrossing, you should try bookmooch (www.bookmooch.com). It's a book swapping site. Between that and library thing, I'm so addicted it's a struggle to get any reading done! (Your library is the first that appears on libraries similar to mine).

jhedlund által bejegyzett 12:12 am (EST) -kor a Mar 27, 2008

Hi, I was browsing your profile from the books we share link, and saw Bookcrossing. I was really intrigued, so I joined. At the time I joined I didn't say where I heard about bookcrossing. This was last Saturday. I have set 8 books free, and one has already been caught! I would like to give you credit for my budding addiction. Do you think there is a way to edit how I found out about bookcrossing on their web?

Hi Coleen!

I loved looking through your library. We have around 125 books in common! I noticed that you own The Secret History. If you loved it, as I did, you might really enjoy Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris. Like The Secret History, it is set in an academic institution and has elements of suspense. I really loved it.

Seeing as our reading interests are so similar, I'll definitely check back to see what you have been reading!

Hello from a fellow Lafayette book lover! I was checking out the local area, and noted that we have a lot in common. I have probably been the one nudging you out of the way at Goodwill at some point in time. ;)
I also love to go to the clearance section at Halfprice books. I think that we should send lots of letters to try and get them to build one here in Lafayette! On second thought, they might be way to dangerous for me.

Wow, that sounds like fun. What kind of books does your club read and what are they reading currently? I think I have a bit of an obsession but I justify it by buying a lot of $1 books and half-priced ones (and often used off Amazon) but there aren't a lot of people I know personally who are obsessed with books like I am. I had a book club going for about 2.5 years but to be honest, nobody in it keeps up and I'm kind of tired of pushing it to continue. I'd prefer to be an active member of an established club where I don't have to set the pace! What are you reading right now?

Hi Coleen,
I'm in Fishers and it sounds like we have a lot in common. I too frequent the Half Price Bookstores and for a while I was doing Bookcrossing dropoffs, but nobody ever logged on with the books I left!!!!! Do you participate in any local Book Clubs?

I know about Bookcrossing and think its great. I am registered, but have only had a go with it a time or two. I either trade books, donate them to the humane society for their book sale, or trade them... give them, etc..

I should have waited before I sent my first message. I like the way you catagorize your books, ex. book club 2006,etc... I think I am going to revise some of mine. I am in three book clubs and am secretary to 2 of them. Plus I try to read one on my own in between book clubs. My problem is I keep buying new ones and have so many to read. But I am addicted to books and love to read instead of watching the t.v. My two children are teens right now so I have more time than I used to.
