Oh get carried away! One persons trash and all that...

Attention Bibliophilic Bargain Lovers: Katerina Gets Carried Away and Clears Her Shelves!

I have boxes for shipping and plans for a trip to the USPO. Choose from the fine volumes listed below and e my profile. Do not fear the spam bounce, for you will show up in “Suspect E Mail” if you’re not in the addressbook.. I will check that account on & off until 5:30 pm Pacific time tonight & will let you know if you are the lucky First Requestor.

Has been sitting in the TBR pile long enough that it feels more like a chore than a treat: Midnight Blue Collection: contains: Sunglasses After Dark, In The Blood, Paint It Black, by Nancy A. Collins

Read once. Turned out that was enough. Girl in Hyacinth Blue, Susan Vreeland. Pillars of the World / Shadows & Light, Anne Bishop. A Man Named Dave, Dave Peltzer.

I loved these. It turns out I don’t really need more than one copy. Bone from a Dry Sea, Peter Dickinson. Lad of Sunnybank, Albert Payson Terhune, paperback 1968. Heart of A Dog, Albert Payson Terhune, ? 40s or so hardback, b/w illustrations.

If you haven't read the Terhune books, and you like dogs and/or pets in general, you will probably find the stories all heartwarming in a mooshy sort of way.

WANT the Terhunes, Katerina! Insent with address and stuff.

Katerina, could I have the Nancy Collins, please?

eta: insent to your profile addy.

Gentle Readers, I have assigned new homes to: The Terhune books, the Midnight Blue Collection, and Girl in Hyacinth Blue. (wheedling) Come on, take a book... the first one's free!

Allo! I've been lurking about this thread for a couple of weeks or so. I was wondering if anyone here's read anything by Jodi Picoult, and if so if they've read or are reading her newest, 'My Sister's Keeper'. There's a petty font issue I've got with it that's driving me bonkers and I need back-up in my annoyance!

I read In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner over the weekend. I laughed, I cried, & couldn't put it down until the last page was turned. It's in production now, being made into a major motion picture starring Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette.

I couldn't put it down, and yet didn't like it that much. I liked the beginning, but hated the Hollywood stuff towards the end.

I hope Toni Collette and not Cameron Diaz is Cannie

Here’s something I thought Literary readers might appreciate:

The April 2004 issue of The New Yorker includes a profile of “The Storyteller: Madeleine L’Engle,” and the article starts off describing the Scholastic Books paperback edition of “A Wrinkle in Time,” the one with a blue cover decorated with concentric green circles. This is the exact volume I have treasured since 196 (cough).

“A Wrinkle in Time” will be presented to us as a made for TV special on ABC sometime in May. I take heart reading that the executive producer Catherine Hand says she “fell in love” with the book when she was 10. Furthermore, she’s quoted as saying “The engine that drives it is Meg’s inner life, and it’s astonishing, because here is a girl who at the moment is stronger than her father. For some of us, it planted the seeds of the women’s movement. I have had wonderful conservations with Madeleine, as a friend, who is, of course, Meg.”

Ima set my Tivo to capture this one.

And they got Gregory Smith to play Calvin.
