Hello Muriel,
I see you are the only person on LT who owns a copy of Rhododendron Pie by Margery Sharp. Lucky you! It is on my wish list, and it seems to be a very difficult title to come across.
Happy reading and happy hunting for Viragos!!
Paola :-))

I see that you have a copy of "Everything Smelt of Kippers". Is it as funny as the title implies?
Thanks for assuaging my curiosity,
wunderkind

Ahh, bookstores. My one downfall. The chains (Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million) are obviously the biggest draw in town but there are two used bookstores that I frequent. Alexander Books is the best of the two, less on the crappy romances and more literary minded than most. Then there's The Book Rack which is good in terms of children's and more popular fiction. The public library is also quite good, anything they don't have they can interlibrary loan for you and I find that I usually get copies of whatever I have requested within a week. There are also the two college bookstores (University Bookstore and Follett's) but those, for the most part, focus simply on college texts aside from the usual best sellers. Hope this helps!

Your reviews are stupendous.

That's fascinating about Jennifer Dawson- never realised she had written so much. Must look into those other ones, and add them to my list of 5 million other books to read. (slight exaggeration only)

Thanks for educating me!

Cheers

Thanks for your friend invitation! We share several interesting books, including those by Barbara Pym, Ivy Compton-Burnett and Ursula Parrott! See you in the Persephone and Virago groups!

Hello Dame Muriel,

Thank you for your invitation to be your friend. Looking through our shared books, I noticed The Ha-Ha by Jennifer Dawson- it's been a while since I read that one. Not a novel you hear much about, but an interesting one. What did you think of it?

Cheers

Sue

Hello,
I'm trying to join Loitering With Intent, although I haven't shown up as a member for some reason. And I wrote a New Topic remark (about The Comforters) as well, which I'm not sure why it's not appearing, either...maybe LT is too busy right now, a Sunday evening.

Hi DameMuriel,

Thanks for inviting me to the group. Look forward to joining in to discussions.
