Roxanna, I saw your message about the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. You are in for a treat. They are a bit of a read but they are worth every second. Just to let you know that there are 6 books in print right now and the 7th is due out sometime in 2009. Outlander is the first book of the series. If you have any questiones please feel free to drop me a note and I will answer anything that I can.
PS I created a Myspace for 'Outlander Fans'. Come check us out!

Wow, the Ukraine! That must be an amazing vacation for you. I am glad that you are taking a break and having a good time. You will have to post some holiday photo's in the Green Dragon when you get back. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
Thank you so much for your "puff" message, Roxanna! ("Puff" because I smiled and got all puffed up when reading it.) I love photography--spent a few hours at the Desert Botanical Gardens yesterday and only took 275 photos. LOL I'm not a freelance pro, just a hooked amateur who sometimes gets lucky. This is the perfect time of year for my husband and me to jump in the Jeep and explore the trails for wildflowers. With the winter rains we got, vast sections of the desert are bursting with color. When summer comes, we'll take the Jeep into the mountains. I love this state! Thanks again for the compliment.

--Cathy.
I am so very sorry about how things turned out for your family.
*hugs*
Oh you're welcome, I suspect there are more LT folks out there who were touched by your story and really sad for you and Mr. Squirt. But I'm so glad he's got you and you him. Scratches and snuggles to Mr. Squirt from me. - ER
How is Mr. Squirt doing now, is he adjusting emotionally to being the only kitty?
Roxanna, I have been following your thread about your cousin. I am praying you have good news. Just wanted to check in to see how you are doing.
Hi Roxanna, I wanted to check in on you. How are you doing? Any news? I pray for your family.

Carrie
I want to ask your permission before I start a commiseration thread for you. I'm not sure if you want this kept private or not.
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. :o( Two losses in two weeks? :o( You must be heartbroken. I'm rethinking my position on a new cat already. I don't think I can be cat-less and be truly happy.

I feel so badly for you. :o(
Thanks Roxanna, we've got lots of mixed emotions, excitement, sadness (we recently lost a dog too), happiness. But when I see these little guys all I can think is how much we can bring to each other's lives, and that can't help but be a good thing. :-)
Hi Roxanna, just read on the GD that you lost your cat. I'm so sorry, I know what a hole it leaves in your life. *hugs*

Thinking about you,

Katherine
I am so glad that you like the Moby Dick pop-up; I was worried that it might violate your request not to receive monster narratives, and was glad when I looked it over in the store that it was almost entirely ungruesome. I thought it was so marvelously clever in its construction - my favorite is the eyeglass page.
I hope you like The Fairy Godmother! I really thought it was a fun story, though unfortunately the other books set in the same world aren't as good.
Thank you for my SantaThing selections! They were excellent choices, and I can't wait to read them. I'm familiar with the Brother Cadfael books but have never read any of them ... not sure why. And I know I read one of the Rutherfurd books ages ago, but it definitely wasn't Sarum.

I hope your Santa was good to you as well! Thanks again.
Love that profile pic! Thank you. :)
I'm glad to have been of help in SantaThing. ^_^ This has been such fun so far, and helping make suggestions for other people was a great twist.
Hi back at you. You beat me to it, I have been planning to drop a line. I also live in the Northwest Valley, Glendale. As you may have gathered from some of my posts, I was an Air Force brat, lived in about twenty cities and at least seven states. I've enjoyed your posts as well. Isn't this a great site? Where else can you read books, find out about books and have interesting and amusing conversation with interesting people. If they could figure out a way to feed us it would be perfection. :>) I am a retired RN turned artist. I haven't been able to do the heavy work of cutting and drilling lately, so I've started sketching and am surprised at how legible I'm getting.
Thanks for the note, have a Merry Christmas.
Siubhan
I certainly think you did - unless she's in great pain, I think it's entirely fair that she gets to decide for herself.
I really hope kitty gets better!
Thank you. Unfortunately, I live over 2 hours away from my grandpa. He mostly just sits with the tv on and naps, now.
Which narrator is reading your version of One for the Money? C. J. Critt does an excellent job on the Recorded Books version; Lorelei King was so bad the one time I tried listening to her that I wouldn't do so again if you paid me.
Getting back to you after finishing listening to The Painted Veil. Kate Reading did a great job. I liked the story well enough, although I found Kitty's throwing herself on her father at the end a bit pathetic.
Thank you so much for the recommendation of British authors! You have, indeed, spotted a weakness of mine. I know what you mean about the Georgette Heyer books. I was hesitant to add all of mine, but I finally decided to go for it. I tend to hold on to each and every one of them, since they were not always easily found.

If you have not yet read it, I highly recommend "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield! It is a gothic mystery (set in England, of course) that pays homage to the classics-in particular, Jane Eyre. Great collection of books, by the way!
Thank you for the compliment. I'd actually forgotten that post about my mother's library and my still frustrated LT proselytization attempts. I'm pleased to have inspired emanations of hilarity to erupt from your verbal orifice. (hmmm, perhaps a bit too much Spock and online vocab quizzes this past weekend)

I must admit that sometimes words spring from parts of my unconscious for which I feel hard pressed to accept credit; I have begun to harbor suspicions that a small dervishy Creative-Numen dwells deep in the caverns of my skull. Being trapped and predominantly silent in his isolation, he sits and observes my daily life and builds elaborate stories with which to amuse himself. Then, when I'm in a bout of prolonged insomnia he seizes my body as his zombie writing slave and uses my fingers to craft his dark thoughts onto the page. I'd have him exorcised but unfortuantely, he's got some talent. I'm hoping one day he'll write something I can exploit for profit but so far, no luck. Occasionally though, he makes people laugh and that's just as good.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for going out of your way to tell me. I appreciate it!
Don't marvel at the totals. It probably indicates I don't have a real life :) Actually I just sort of like looking for them and do it from time to time. And then you run into some collections you can ransack. The funny thing is I have in my gallery only 409 authors with pix and 1519 without.
Congratulations on the Stout picture at last
Thank you for the message. I hadn't even realized LibraryThing had a "message" feature. Sorry it's taken so long to respond. I found these in a box at a garage sale about 20 years ago and felt like I'd happened upon treasure. I have always been a bibliophile...I'm not sure about the dates, etc. some of the books have none and some are in Roman numerals which I converted, (hopefully accurately!)
I tried hunting down a usable source for the pix, but came up empty. However they are posted at The Wolfe Pack (http://www.nerowolfe.org/index.htm). It's probably where you found them. I'd get in contact with them and ask for permission to use it here.

My big number of photos is probably a result of being an early poster (I got there first in some cases before the others) and just plodding through sites where I could use pictures and looking for anything LT could use. My own gallery has a lot of authors without pictures.

And I've probably not used more pictures than I uploaded. Seen so many great shots I really wanted badly
I like that 1906 Rex Stout pic
The picture is towards the bottom of this page:

http://skyways.lib.ks.us/orgs/kac/histor...

Sourcing say: Sources: Jan Biles, Topeka Capital-Journal, September 21, 2003, photo used with permission from the Topeka Capital-Journal; Zula Bennington Greene, Topeka Daily Capital , April 13, 1976; and Rex Redifer, Indianapolis Star, March 7, 1982. Contributed by Carol Yoho, District 1.

So the photo may be from 1976.
A friend of mine is English - she actually could get them all to rhyme ;-)
There's also this ;-)
Strange. Here's another link, hope this keeps working..
Thank you :-)

Rules for writers ;-)
