That's what libraries are for - a wide variety of books on a wide variety of topics. The authors receive royalties based upon how many times their book is issued to a reader. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK |

It depends - I bought the JE book, but will pass it along. I will buy Open Ice. I'm kind of out of room for books, but will buy the next MaryJanice Davidson Fred the Mermaid book and any Lynn Kurland book in her fantasy line. Cheryl |

Just the impression I get from reading here. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans. I'm a library girl all the way. I think of it this way: in needlework supplies, $25 can keep me busy for *months*. A book - maybe a week, tops! Needlework is really one of the cheapest hobbies around, on a per-hour basis! (But I will buy books from the library book sale...yesterday I spent $4.40 on 19 hardcover and 4 paperback books. Two for me, three for holiday gifts, and the balance to give to a friend who teaches in an inner-city school. Got lots of YA titles for her. A good day, I'd call it!) sue -- Susan Hartman/Dirty Linen The Magazine of Folk and World Music www.dirtylinen.com |

What are you reading? Just finished - Open Ice by Jack Falla. Great book, really recommend this for the hockey fans. Ellice and Sara - buy this for the DH's and then read it yourself. At work: Foul Play - one of those Janet Evanovich reprints. (yes between phone calls, I read or do cross word puzzles) On the throne: Cretaceous Dawn - bunch of scientists get thrown back in time due to an experiment gone wrong. This may just go back to the library soon. Plot looks good, but the writing is only so-so. True leisure time reading - Fortune and Fate - the latest of the Sharon Shinn Twelfth House books. I really love diving into these and losing myself. Cheryl Just finished "There be Dragons", by Sharon Penman. A long historical novel, but a wonderful read of 13th century Wales, and this is the first of a trio. Also finished "One Silent Night" by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Continuing Dark Hunter Saga. Where vampires meet the gods and goddess roaming our present day. Includes the Were-Hunters and Dream Hunters. "Heart Fate" By Robin Owens. Celta planet series. And I do by my books. Bobbie V. |

I'm intrigued by the Royal Alaskan series, but I'd have to ILL those. I should mention I read the first 4 of Yasmine Galenorn OtherWorld series. Fun and light as a feather. Good read for myth lovers.

I see lots of people who spend $$$$$$$$$ on needlework supplies, but very few who spend money on books. Just the impression I get from reading here. I'm just too embarrassed to point out how many books I buy when I have a perfectly good library nearby ;-) Some days I think I'm single-handedly keeping the bookstores afloat. I have a bad habit of taking the morning off, grabbing a book or two, and spending the morning at La Madeleine reading them. Best wishes, Ericka |
