Tietoja minusta I'm 24 and I teach music. I've always loved reading but for quite some time didn't have much time to do it. Finally I've figured out how to manage my time. (It helps that hubby and I drive to work together, so I can read in the car.)

When I get a little money, I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.
-- Desiderius Erasmus

Tietoja kirjastostani I've got a large mixing of books. Some are hubby's, most are mine. The library ranges from classic lit to a large number of Civil War/Military books. There are also a lot of supernatural/fantasy works.

Books that show no stars mean I haven't gotten around to reading/reviewing them yet. Bad books end up with 1/2 star.

I like your quote from Erasmus!

I'd be interested to know, looking at your list, what Barry Manilow wrote and Hector Berlioz for that matter if we're talking about books and not music. Just a bit flabbergasted that's all.

Hi Jolene,
I'm the one who might be related to the 'outlaw' (Thomas Cranmer)! You said you played at the fair in Wrightstown (PA, right? That's very close to me.) I was wondering if you know any string quartets or other types of groups who might play at memorial services. Sadly, my 91 year-old dad just died. He had a great and long life but it's still such a hard thing to lose a parent. I luckily never knew before now. My parents lived down at the Jersey shore and we're planning a service for Aug 16. I would like some very special music at the church but I don't know where to start. Do you have any leads or ideas? I know this is a weird thing to ask on LT but I just thought maybe since you're in the field, you might know something. Thanks!

Hi Jolene!

I saw you were interested in The Inverted World, by Christopher Priest. I still have your address from the last mailing and will send you one today!

Hi, thanks for your comment! I looked at all the stories in I Am Legend, and didn't like any of them. I don't remember Prey in particular. I'm not a horror fan, and having read Somewhere In Time and What Dreams May Come, I was expecting something completely different from Richard Matheson. So it goes.

Lähettänyt: LydiaHD 1:19 am (EST) Jun 21, 2008

Unfortunately the description you left doesn't ring any bells. It's historical fiction? Or is it historical romance?

Either way, I'm not much help... I've got a rather small historical fiction collection and an even smaller romance collection - only one or two historical romances at all!

I hope you find what you're looking for! If it was a romance, I'd suggest going to Smart Bitches Trashy Books (http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/i...) and asking for their help. Occasionally they will post a reader's pleas and her description of a book's contents/cover/stepback/really hot love scene, and the readers of the blog are generally pretty good at finding the original title of the book.

Hi!

I work with the publisher of Forever a Soldier: Unforgettable Stories of Wartime Service, and I saw that you were interested in reading it. Please forward me your address and I will be able to send you the galley! I hope you will enjoy your copy!

I finished Lisey's Story this morning, and I really loved it. It's not one of King's best, but it's my personal favorite. For me, a lot of the book was like looking into myself. AND I love his description of collective conscious. It's a love story the way only Stephen King could write it, boy loves girl, girl loves boy, monster is trying to kill boy.

Your profile page is too organized! shock I'm doing good if I remember to change the "currently reading" section on mine. The "shortlist" idea has become more of "some books I might or might not read in the next few months" section.

:-D

Hi Jolene,
Well, it's been a few years since I read Raising the Griffin. I don't really remember too much about it but I can tell you it's kind of like a coming of age thing for a boy. He leaves his life and friends behind to go to a new land to become a prince. He doesn't want to go at all but there are things he doesn't know about his family. I liked it.
Hey, I read that you teach music...if you get a chance go to YouTube and search for 'Juliana sets Fire'....it's a little acoustic project my son and a few friends are doing. Look for the song Only You and Me and tell me what you think. My son is wearing the blue tee.
Thanks!
PS..I also see that you read the Outlander series. It is my new obsession!! I even made an Outlander Fans page on MySpace. I'm such a geek.

Hi again Jolene,
No, my daughter doesn't really play the violin anymore unfortunately. She stopped when she graduated from high school. Although she claims she'll pick it up again eventually. She likes it and does seem to have some natural talent. (Her grandfather (hubby's dad) almost went to Juilliard but at the last minute decided to go to med school instead.) Too bad she's on the lazy side! LOL
I see you like vampire lore also! I love it. Your library will give me some good ideas on that score. I think I read Interview with a Vampire when I was your age and loved it, but I can't be certain that was the book I'm thinking of. Maybe I'll try the Twilight Series even though I know it's YA. I think Meyer is very talented but to me, The Host was just too long for what it was.
The Secret Bride looks good. How is it? I also love reading about the wives of Henry VIII, especially Anne Boleyn. I read everything I could get my hands on about her when I was a teen. My ancestor is supposedly Thomas Cranmer, Henry's first Archbishop of Canterbury who was burned at the stake by "Bloody Mary."

Thanks for the add! I see we tend to read a lot of similar interests! If you'd like to, come join us at "Book of the month" group. It just catalogs what all of us in the group read per month. It's given me a lot of amazing suggestions. Love to have you!

Football's big because all "manly-men" like football. It's kinda of like a status symbol if you know about football, which I don't. It's pretty annoying.

Music - Well, hip-hop, rap, R & B and reggae are the main genre's of music. I like some hip-hop, but most of it is really repetitive and overused beats. I really like R & B and I kinda like the reggae/hawaiian mix songs.

Books - Here, it's cool not to read. Most people only read if they have to, but the some that have discovered the joy of reading like Harry Potter, Twilight, Bra's and Broomsticks (I've never read it but the title kinda of makes me think of it as a shallow teenage romance novel), The Lightning Thief, and Eat, Pray, Love. (oh yeah, and the Alanna series: Song of the Lioness)

I live on Kauai (ka-wa-ee). It's by far, my favorite out of the islands, it's called The Garden Island because it's so green. My second favorites island is O'ahu. It has the biggest city, Honolulu, and it's also pretty green on the North Shore. It's got the best waves, and one of the most well-known surf spots: Pipeline. I don't surf there though, it's HUGE.

What are the most popular sports in Pennsylvania? Here it's surfing and football.

Lähettänyt: miss_chievous 4:48 pm (EST) May 28, 2008

I am REALLY enjoying singing and guitar. Singing kinda runs in the family on my dad's side, but I don't really like the stage/opera performances my grandmother, aunts and cousins like.

I live on the most northern island in Hawai'i, so it's the most rainy. It rains at night and is sunny in the day. Our winters are really mild, but when it gets down to 70 degrees, everyone's getting their ugg boots and jackets on.

I'm in High School, but I'm home-schooled since the local HS doesn't have much to offer.

The Historian is good, but it's a little slow in some areas. I really like how the author uses letters and songs and books to build the story. I am almost done, and I'm going to read Katherine after. Borders just shipped it in and I'm gonna go into town(I live out in the sticks, so "town" is where the small malls are) and get it today.

Lähettänyt: miss_chievous 6:19 pm (EST) May 27, 2008

Thanks for all of the info, after I'm done reading the Historian, I'll read the Host. But my to-be-read list is really long, so I might put it off for a little while.

What do you teach: singing, instruments, music theory, etc.?
My dad's teaching me to play guitar and I've been in a singing group for about a year and a half.

What's it like in Pennsylvania? I've never been to the East Coast.

Lähettänyt: miss_chievous 5:01 pm (EST) May 26, 2008

You really know how to stand up for Twilight during discussions. You leave everyone speechless. ^_^ I wish I had your 'way with words.' I love the Twilight series too, I can't wait for the 4th book to come out!

Have you read The Other Boleyn Girl and/or The Host? I was wondering whether I should read them or not.

Lähettänyt: miss_chievous 4:34 pm (EST) May 25, 2008

That is very true. Some of the 'true romances' that authors write today are not really.. satisfying? If you know what I mean.. some of the characters, you can't help but think, they don't seem to match, etc. And then you get some that you absolutely love! But for the most part, paranormal is now my favorite- both in adult romances and teen books.

I might have to read the Outlander series! It sounds interesting! :)

Lähettänyt: The_Book_Queen 2:15 pm (EST) May 25, 2008

Yes, but what can you do, right? We can't exactly change every parent's point of view on things-- if we could, why stop there, right?

Yeah, our's has the 'SuperCenter' of the front, but it's still fairly small, though it is nice to have it up here at all! They do have some books, I agree, but not all of them.

I know! I am sometimes happy when Audiable.com gets a certain book on there for my MP3 player, and then I hear the person narrating, and I can't stand them!

I've never really tried Amazon simply because I don't like buying too many things over the internet-- my parents don't like to use their credit cards online unless they have to, and sometimes I agree with them. We've had problems with other online stores taking more money out than they should have before, so...

Lähettänyt: The_Book_Queen 1:30 pm (EST) May 23, 2008

Yes, that is all true. But most parents just don't see it that way.

Yeah, I live in such a small town (which I love, don't get me wrong!) that the closest book store is over 60 miles away. That is the ONLY reason I leave the quiet country side is to go there. We have a Wal Mart closer, but it is also small (compared to the city ones) and I've noticed there are not as many good books there, and if they EVER get them, its' usually months later. I already mentioned that I cannot wait that long! Borders is also great, but it is just as far away as Barnes and Nobles. I've had a membership card there for over 5 years, and within the first 2 months it's paid for itself for years to come, as often as I use it!

Lähettänyt: The_Book_Queen 1:12 pm (EST) May 22, 2008

Well, if you want to-- but that would be a while, isn't it? I like Hardback better (usually) because it is so much easier to take care of them-- takes more to damage them. My Twilight is paperback and between all the times I have read it and loaned to friends and family, it's very battered--- need to get another one soon!

Lähettänyt: The_Book_Queen 8:26 pm (EST) May 20, 2008

It was great!I loved Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange is not by any stetch of the imagination fail to live up to Wicked Lovely's greatness! Yes, it is about the dark faerie- sort of... Not going to say anymore-- you'll just have to read it! :) Promise you won't be dissapointed!

What I read of Good Masters, Sweet Ladies I enjoyed, but it was due back to the library before I finished it and I couldn't renew it. One of these days, I'll borrow it again, or maybe even buy it.

Hey, thanks for your advice on Magyk and Wicked Lovely, Jolene! Wicked Lovely goes to the top of the TBR pile on your (and Irisheyz) recommendations. Fortunatley, I got Magyk as an audiobook from the library, so I'll just put it on my iPod and listen to it when I get around to it.
