Sobre mimI live in Baltimore with my husband, 2 dogs and 3 cats in an old home that we are renovating. In honor of Poe my library has a (fake) raven that watches over me and my books.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI'll read anything that takes me over the hills and far away. I love a good journey, especially when Autumn arrives and the wind turns cold. Just the time to snuggle with a book, cup of tea, and my dogs and cats. My library is both non-fiction and fiction but all I read informs me. I love historical fiction (whether it is true history or the "truer history" of some historical fantasy). I especially love to learn about strange things that have happened, odd groups of people and whatnot. But my greatest love in reading is the times, whether in our own history or an imagined one, that predate the modern world and set me free in a land much more interconnected and alive than the one in which I live.

Thanks for letting me know about A Company of Liars. I haven't heard of it. Sounds interesting.

Hi there,

Thanks for the books! I'd read A Canticle For Leibowitz a few years back, but I had to return it and I was actually getting the urge to re-read it a couple of weeks ago after going through some James Tiptree, Jr. And the Dirk Gently series is something I've always been meaning to read, so that's just perfect.

Merry Christmas!
Thank you to my secret SantaThing person! I don't know who you are but you chose great books. One I've always wanted- the other two hadn't heard of but sound really cool! Can't wait to start reading them. Thank you so much!
Actually, it does sound interesting to me. Unique idea for a book. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

What are the Dispossessed and Left Hand of Darkness novels about? I am familiar with her Wizard of Earthsea series. I've thumbed through some of those when I worked in a bookstore years ago.

As for suggestions, I was looking through your library, and it seems quite varied in genre and style. Is there any particular genre you like more than another? I'm a fan of medieval historical fiction, and if I had to recommend novels/authors who write in that genre, I would suggest Bernard Cornwell's Grail Quest Series or his Saxon Chronicles or his Arthurian series. You might also enjoy Elizabeth Chadwick's "Daughters of the Grail" or Sharon Kay Penman's "Here Be Dragons." Or Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth."

As for fantasy, have you read any of Robin Hobb's novels? I like the Farseer Trilogy, at least the first book. I haven't read books two and three in that series yet. The first book I believe is Assassin's Apprentice. I also liked David Anthony Durham's latest novel Acacia.

Those are just some initial thoughts.

Always nice to find other fans of Martin. I still have A Feast for Crows left to read in ASOIF. How did you like it?

And of course, you have to love Tolkien.

And which of Ursula K. Le Guin's novels would you recommend someone start with?

Greetings,

Thank you for your kind words and for finding my library interesting. I apologize for not responding sooner - the past few months have been filled with work, writing, depressed friends, and moving to WV. Yes - I am no longer a "Marylander." I look forward to seeing you around and hope you are well.

Take care,

Moth
hey there lesley! :)

i must foremost extend an apology - sorry it took me so long to reply. its been a bad year so far, we recently had a death in the family, which in my experience takes a long time to deal with in its entirety... anyways, enough about me and my troubles!

i am delighted you stumbled upon my page. it is such a delight to receive comments from other like-minded and avid readers such as yourself. *smile* and the fact that you checked into my library simply from a comment i left on other user's page (that i never received a reply for) is simply divine!!

i am honored that you enjoyed perusing my shelves, you are invited to visit whensoever you wish and for as long as you would like. just be sure to stomp your feet on the way in on the doormat. frightfully dusty in here i'm afraid, and some of the older tomes have a way of hibernating so a good stomp might wake them from their slumber and make them easier to find.:)

much bliss from a fellow tree admirer,

cool thx. ill check it out now if the school smart filter doesnt block it. thing really sux.
yur welcome. yeah i'm really into astology.
there is no drooling in the library - but thanks for the comment. A large house is definitely a "must" for a large library. I enjoy folks who read for escape; cheers!
i like your pic
Lesley, Thanks for the note. I just got done entering about 60 or so books I picked up at the SPCA Thriftstore this morning; Monday is the 50% off books day and for some reason, they get A LOT of good books. Great fun. I see from your list of "favorite authors" that your tastes are eclectic. What are you reading now?
