I was sad to hear about Barbara Mertz. I found her books years ago and, after catching up on her backlist, had to WAIT as new ones came out. In one review, they commented that the librarians had to keep her books in a locked cabinet so people waiting for them wouldn't lose their place in the queue.
And, speaking of librarians, the romance novel idea was for (librarian) Jacqueline Kirby in "Die for Love" (which takes place at a romance writer convention). She writes it, is successful, and there's a follow-up novel, called "Naked Once More" or some such.
And they made a movie out of "Ammmie Come Home" with, I think, Barbara Stanwyck in it.

So the new Temeraire novel is out. I just downloaded it onto my Kindle...
Whoa, I had no idea that was out! Must track down a copy.
I'm halfway through, and it's dealing with one of my bullet proof narrative kinks. Yum.
Requested from the library! I'm glad you're enjoying it, Suela.
ION, romance readers will want to check out this video of romance authors answering a very important question. My coworker made it and it's short and funny: [link]
That's cute.
Did anyone else read
The Passage
by Justin Cronin? I'm only 137 pages in (of 879) but I can't put it down.
I just finished Gone Girl, and (a) omgwtf, and (b) of course Ben Affleck is playing Nick in the movie, because who else?

I started it but abandoned it after about 40 pages. I don't know why... but it was one of the first books on my nook that I got and I just never finished it.
Amy, I read it when I came out and really loved it. Sadly, its sequel is a mess, which was mightily disappointing. It's a trilogy though, so I'm hoping Cronin will tie it all together in the end.
Jesse, yes, I see him in the role easily. As soon as I read Gone Girl, I read her first two books. Very dark and gruesome, and I loved them.
