    New topic for shared reading!!!

    Just checked "Panther in the Sky" at Amazon, and they have about 160 used copies offered by the sellers there. Ordered one coming from Ohio, so I'll be ready to go in about 1-2 weeks. Good idea Bob. Biographies can be fascinating, especially contrasting and comparing different authors on the...

    Anyone get any books for Christmas?

    I treated myself to Crimson Slide, because I wanted to try to get a "handle" on the split peronality teams we've been fielding since Coach Stallings left. I would recommend it, although it is a quick read for the money. But everything put forth in the book made sense, including the character...

    The Golden Key

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, Bob. It is a unique book, and you sure will learn alot about painting! The main difficulty I had with it was the names. I speak no language but English and found it difficult to follow the Spanish-type family, personal and place names. But I was...

    Pope Joan

    Seems like I bought this book several years ago, but never read it. That means it is lurking amongst the piles of books I live among, or maybe it even retreated to the attic, which my husband refuses to go into anymore. I will see if I can hunt it down and lure it to my hand. If I have a good...

    Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott

    Now Bob, you know those women were there to see Russell Crowe!! I don't suppose they even paid any attention to the storyline.

    Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott

    You were right, Bob, the sage does get better book by book. Have now finished Book Three and will await the next two with anticipation. It will be like a Christmas present Do all the characters continue to preach and quote scripture throughout all the books? I confess, I find myself skimming...

    Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott

    Just finished the second book, Prince of Dogs, which I enjoyed more than the first. But neither of them can hold a candle to the Jaran series, IMO. I am about ready to strangle Liath...not that I presume to think I would react any better, or be stronger, in her situation, but I guess I have...

    John Grissoms new book; Bleachers

    I just finished reading it and was contemplating a post on it. I almost got uneasy as I got further into the book (not that it is very long). It seemed to me to be almost plagaristic (if there is such a word ), taking elements from Junction Boys and Remember the Titans. Nothing seemed to be...

    Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott

    You heard of the poem: All things bright and beautiful All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful The Lord God made them all. ? Each line of this poem represents a book by James Herriott, a Yorkshire vet, who shares his experiences of the humans and animals of the...

    Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliott

    Bob, I just finished "The Lovely Bones" and am almost ready to start Stephen King's new book "From a Buick 8". I got a great deal from my book club, books at half price and no shipping, and sort of went crazy and bought alot of books that I ordinarily would have purchased when they came out in...

    The Jaran Novels of Kate Elliot

    Bob, if you are into the mechanics, etc. of space travel (or sailing) and it sounds like you are, you could do no better than sample Elizabeth Moon's Esme Suisa novels, which impressed me with their well thought out concepts re the workings of a space ship. The four novels in this series so far...
