Informazioni su di meRecently married and moved house so slowly trying to sort our new joint book collection.

I really, really like books. Both reading and owning. I've recently started using BookMooch too.

My thread for the 2010 75 Book Challenge is here:

http://www.librarything.com/topic/80944

Informazioni sulla mia bibliotecaWe have lots of books and I am slowly adding these to Librarything. I'm looking forward to finding out exactly how many!

All books are ours unless they are marked as 'Read but unowned' or 'Wishlist'. Wishlist books are my way of keeping track of all the book recommendations I have been getting from the 75 Books Challenge Group.

Books tagged as wrong cover have a different cover to those already uploaded to the site. At some point I need to spend some time with our scanner...

Books in the 'Omnibus' collection are the individual works we own in omnibus form. These haven't been included in our library.

Thanks for the interesting library add, I'm surprised I hadn't already added yours before.
Hi souloftherose!
I just read your review of Feist's 'Daughter of the Empire' (which I haven't read yet), and I really, really agree with this bit of your review (about novels in general): "...Feist seems to describe his characters' personality by using descriptive passages. I prefer writers who let you discover their characters' personalities based on how they act in the book or interact with other characters rather than having it explicitly spelled out for me. I find it slightly patronising and it reminds me that I'm reading a book rather than being completely immersed in the world of the characters in the novel."
And it made me wonder if you've tried reading Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy (i.e. Sabriel, Abhorsen, Lirael) by any chance. I reckon Nix is really good at getting character exposition right (as you describe above). (Though I don't particularly recommend Nix's Keys to the Kingdom series.)
:)

This is a site that FlossieT (Rachael) sent to me awhile ago. I think you might enjoy it. Please be sure to click on the Peter Trippi interviews under the right hand column marked resources.

Hello and congratulations on your well deserved hot review!
Thanks anyway! I really appreciate your trying for me. :) I'm sure I'll snag a copy at some point!
Well hello Heather! (When I was in grade school, I had four friends with my name. It was often confusing.)

You can cancel it. I'd actually totally forgotten about it, and I'm trying to cut back on mooches right now anyways because we're moving. It's still on my wishlist, so I'll be keeping an eye out, but it's not something I need soon. Thank you anyways!

Heather
Hi Heather:

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't realize I had a hot review. I've heard that Cranford has made it across the pond, but I haven't seen it. I chose this book a year ago for my RL bookclub and this was the month to read it.

Hot reviews are a rare treat for me. I'm excited.

karenmarie
Friends and books! How perfect. I just saw the reserve and mooched it from you.

Thanks again.

karenmarie
Thanks, Heather!

What a wonderful first angel experience.

karenmarie
Hi Heather:

Regarding your offer to angel a book to the US for me, yes, that's the book I want to mooch. Thank you so very much.

karenmarie
Hi Heather,
Thanks for coming through for karenmarie :)

Heather

I love the artistry of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood!

Isn't Waterhouse just the best...ever~!~~
yes-- it is fine-- I'd forgotten about it it's been so long. Can you send me the BM link? thanks!!
Thanks for letting me know.

Irene
If Then We Came to the End is still available, may I mooch it?

Thanks,
Irene
Thanks Heather, that is helpful. All Americans, especially Southerners, want to know where they came from and then make things up if their lineage includes more horse thieves than saints (which all lines invariably do. That’s why everyone in the South is descended from Charles I or the Man in the Iron Mask.) I’m going to order one or more of the books you linked, and verification of the Wiki site is good to know. Thanks again.

Larry
Thanks :)
Great library, souloftherose! FYI, I learned that if you want to change the covers in your collection, you can click on edit for the book, and then "change covers" on the left hand side of the edit page.

Best wishes - Joe
Great, thank you for angeling that! No condition notes is fine with me.
Hi Heather, I saw in 75 Book that you're from Tring. My family came from there to Virginia in 1630 and I've always wondered what the town was like (I've never had a chance to go, maybe after I retire I'll take a tour.) Can you tell me anything about it, or point to some interesting Web sites about the town that wouldn't necessarily come up on a Google search?
