Ouch! Smart-mouthed librarians! Who'da thunk?Some of you people are so lucky. I went to my County Library, asked what e-books they had and was told they were between D and F on the shelves.

Yes! When I was younger I felt like I had to finish every book I started, even if I didn't much care for it. I've since learned that life is too short, and go on to the next. Of course, it helps that the majority of my books are free Kindle books, or through Kindle Unlimited, so I don't feel bad hitting the delete button.Did you ever start reading a book, get about halfway through it, and realize that you just didn't care what happened?
I also Googled, and the GoodReads site was one of the first that came up. I'm not a member, but I'm pretty sure I should be.

Well, I tried to join GoodReads this afternoon and was informed that I couldn't because my email address was already taken. In other words, I joined before and forgot. So, I did the whole password recovery thing and then spent a couple of hours updating my shelves (not to imply that I'm done with that or anything).Yes, you really should! Get thee hence, woman, so that we may befriend one each to the other! ~mutters to self~ you have been reading far, FAR too many historical novels, my girl.
I had heard that one of them will pass away and I know that I'm going to be in tears throughout that book. Doesn't matter which one of them dies, it's going to kill me, too. I even fell in love with Rollo! (And now when I talk to Jackie, I say things like "Does yon Beast wish to use the privy?" before I take her out to pee. Rick just rolls his eyes and mutters. He says she's going to be the only dog who understand what "privy" means!)OH, Winchester , I AM SO IN TOUCH WITH OUTLANDER! I began reading them when the first one appeared in paperback. I read them until they fall apart, and then buy them again. The only one I don't have is "The Outlandish Companion," which may be my next book purchase, and, of course, the one she is currently writing, "Go and Tell the Bees That I Have Gone." Not sure who dies in that one, either Jamie or Claire, and not sure what will happen to Bree and Roger...Perhaps their story will continue.
Click on the Friends icon at the top of your page. Then at the top of the new page, on the right, it will say "find friends" From there, you can enter Rebecca Surette and I should come up!So, how do I friend you on GoodReads?
I'll do that when I make it to the site again; I'm totally swamped this week. There's a bill we're trying to get through our state legislature and the leaders in the legislature have been refusing to allow it to come up for a vote, for two years now. The new session starts in January, and we're in the middle of a big push to reactivate lapsed volunteers.Click on the Friends icon at the top of your page.

With some authors I love everything they've ever written. With others, one series will be great (from my perspective) and another will be a total dud (also from my perspective), and with some authors (Connie Willis, for instance) I really, really wish the author would put a body count on the book cover.I have all 4 paperbacks if you need a copy. Same for Mamanyt1953 .I found a few copies in my stash. I dont think I have fiery cross. I can't get into outlander. I should because I love sandra hill who also writes Scottish time travel romance and she's witty.
Why only matters if it can give you clues to other kinds of books you may like. You like what you like.i don't know why but I love my harlequins.
I liked both of them, but not quite as much as the Joe Grey series.I finished "The Cat, the Devil and Lee Fontana" yesterday, and am reading the second book, "The Cat, the Devil, the Last Escape." While they are very different in tone from the Joe Grey series, I'm really enjoying them.
I'm with you on that, the Joe Grey series is just...joyful. These are...not. But there is a thread of spirituality in them that I love.I liked both of them, but not quite as much as the Joe Grey series.
