Sobre mimI'm a 44 year old 3rd grade teacher. I have always been an avid reader. I don't buy many books--I use my online search to hold books at my local library and every 2-3 weeks I go and restock! I read mostly literary fiction and historic fiction(and I'm strangely attracted to dystopian fiction)

I've kept a book journal for the last 3 years and am pleased to transfer those books to LibraryThing.
I use this website as a remembrance of the great impact these books have had upon my life.

"Reading is one form of escape. Running for your life is another."

Thanks so much for your comments on my review of Last Light Over Carolina. It really would be a nice book to read during the summer.

I see that you've rated The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Was it a quick read? What did you think?

Hello Jenny,,

Thanks for dropping by. I envy you having the summer off!

We are having scorching weather here too, in sunny England.

I am going to read some historical fiction over the summer.

Currently reading The Captive of Kensington by Jean Plaidy. It is about the young Victoria. Enjoying it so far.

Jenny, thanks for your comment. It does amaze me these people that would leave book out of their 'library' just because they do not own the book?! I do buy some books from Goodwill, I could never afford to buy all my books, thank goodness for the library. I'm going to add you to my interesting libraries, as I see we have many in common. Some are not yet added to my list as they were read a long time ago, others are ones I mean to read. I used to keep track on a excel spreadsheet for the past few years, this is much better. Enjoy the site, and be prepared for your wishlist to grow!

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for writing me. I'm glad you liked my review for "Mercy." I would like to be friends. I am still learning my way around on LibraryThing. I have a blog, http://ilovelovebooks.blogspot.com. It's hard trying to keep book reviews going on my blog and here too.

Since you're a teacher, I hope you have a really great summer.

Herman Hesse's most popular book was probably "Siddhartha". It is basically the story of the beginning of buddhism. But i would start with Steppenwolfe, which is probably his most interesting novel. Let me know if yo like it. Another author you might like if you haven't read her books is Susan Vreeland. She wrote a book called Forest Lover which was very good.

Dear Jenny (I kept wanting to say, "Poor Jenny" - a great old Everly Bros song from my childhood), Glad you enjoyed my review of Olive Kitteredge. I had to go back to see what I wrote. Does your memory get shorter as you age? But you're right, of course. The best fiction forces us to take a closer look at ourselves. That is its magic and its curse. It's funny, because for over fifty years I read almost exclusively fiction, but now that I've been writing my own memoirs I read mostly other people's memoirs and "real" stories. Sometimes though fiction seems more real than non-fiction. My best to you, Tim

Welcome to LT. I write comments to help me remember what I have read. Loved The Help. Hope you enjoy it.

The historicalfictiononline BOTM for June is The Time of Singing by Elizabeth Chadwick. She is an active member of the board, and there are a few other authors that regularly contribute as well. My username on there is Amanda (so much thought put into that one!).

Welcome to LibraryThing, and thanks for adding my library to your interesting libraries list! If you like historical fiction, come and take a look at historicalfictiononline.com. Its a great discussion board of which I have been a member for quite a while, and through there, my book shelves keep getting added to at a remarkable rate!

Hi Jenny - Thanks for finding my library to be an interesting one! We seem to share a lot of books and many of my favorites. I see you like Margaret Atwood. My favorite of hers is The Handmaid's Tale. I reread it every few years. Welcome to LT - it's a great site and a lot of fun.

Hi Jenny, Welcome to LT, and thank you for adding me to your interesting library list. I like the way you have "tagged" your books. As I read down your list of books, it is like getting a mini-review of each book you have read. It looks like we have similar reading tastes. I really have to get on the ball and read World Without End. I think I've been afraid that it wouldn't measure up to Pillars of the Earth. ~Donna~
