Satunnainen kirjavalikoima kirjastosta, jonka omistaa Jim53

Tietoja minusta 50+, married, grown kids. Recently moved back to the triangle area. technical writer. longtime F/SF fan (Wolfe, LeGuin, Kay), now reading more mysteries (Wilhelm, Spencer-Fleming, many others) and mainstream fiction.

Tietoja kirjastostani Mostly fiction, much still in boxes. Have actually been "de-acquiring" lately after moving into a smaller house. Reading lots of library books as well as a few I've stockpiled and not gotten to yet. Still entering books.

Here's what I'm reading at the moment, if I've tagged it properly, and
here's what I've read so far this year.

Thanks for the nice words, Jim. Sometimes I forget that people are actually reading the reviews I post! (although I read others'.)

I haven't gotten around to Gene Wolf, but I keep thinking I should read him. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for the note Jim. I just took a little look through your reviews and added a couple of books to my wish list - A Fine and Private Place and Dream Lucky. I was watching History Detectives last night on PBS and two stories were about FDR so Dream Lucky caught my eye.

I hope you enjoy the Sister Fidelma mysteries, I've only read the first couple, I keep thinking I will get back to Ireland for my next fix but that hasn't happened so I might have to do the internet thing to get more.

I'll be watching for your sense of humor on talk - Carol

Hope you enjoy Freddy. I picked it up last year -- it wasn't quite another Winter's Tale, but I liked it. Isn't LT great? I read my first Fforde this year because of all the positive comments I saw.

Hi Jim53-- nice to connect with you! I was just telling a colleague about Simon's Rock today. I hope your son enjoyed his experience there. Get him on LibraryThing and encourage him to start a Simon's Rock group :)

Hi Jim!

I'm so glad the stamps were a success. I had a lovely Christmas thank you - very quiet with my family and over to soon.

Best wishes for a very Happy New Year!

I'm so glad that you liked the books by Julia Spencer-Fleming. Where are you in the series now? I've read all of them so far and am completely amazed at how well she handles the relationships and keeps them fairly real. I believe there will only be one more book in the series, but she could change her mind. It's so hard to say goodbye to characters you love but you don't want them to become ridiculous either.

Jim, thanks so much for your comment..:)

I have not read any of the authors you mentioned but I have added them to my ever growing list. My current read is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, another author I learned from here. I guess I have been spending too much time in my middle school media center..:)
Glad to meet you, and I am glad my joke made ya chuckle. I have a few more great ones but I don't think I can post them on this family friendly site..:)
Take care,
Cat

A quick note to say thanks for the tip about adding links to the P & L message board. I`m not much good at this stuff, as you can probably tell !

Thanks for commenting about Takver (aka Takkie Girl). She just passed in the last year, and it's nice to be able to mention her in a fun way with folks who don't say "Takver?!? Why would you name your cat that???"

I am glad someone else is championing Gene Wolfe in the Green Dragon. I mentioned him so much early on that people have tuned me out on the subject. :-)

Welcome to Fforde Ffans! I hope you enjoy the group.
