Have a lovely weekend Lorna!

Just to let you know - I have A Cast of Corbies ISBN 0671722077 which I am going to offer - do you want it? Also, I can wait until after Christmas and see what you got from Santa (woo hoo) if you like; and then I can post it on my inventory then, or get it to you. I am not in any hurry for points etc - but I didn't want you to miss out either.

I am doing a big clean out, if you can't tell , as I have been keeping books for no good reason...other than to keep them. And it is better if they go to others who want to read them and I desperately need the space! I have found 14 Lackey books to list!

Lorna,
Myrren's Gift is yours. I was going to contact you anyway, about some Lackey books I am going to list as well. It is my day off, and I have so much to do - so I'll get back to you and list and reserve the book later. OK?
Happy to help...

Lorna,
The Novice won't mail out until after the holidays- is that OK with you?

Life
Edgar Guest

Life is a gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
It isn't a thing to be stored in the chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure your best;
It isn't a joy to be sipped now and then
And promptly put back in a dark place again.

Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you may;
Don't keep it in niches and corners and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty improves.

Thanks for the invite but I don't actually bookmooch - just got a bit caught up in someone else's conversation. In fact, having just this minute signed up for the Books Off the Shelf challenge, I think it's time I did my best to aquire fewer books rather than more so I'll continue to avoid joining for a while longer. Meantime, anyone who wants to prowl my LT library is welcome.

Hi, I was just about to add 'Why is sex fun' by jared diamond and I see you have it on your wishlist. Would you like me to reserve it for you (just as soon as Bookmooch is back up for me)? Its hardback in pretty good condition.

Hi geophile! I feel badly because I only just found the welcome you gave me on my profile page. I guess I just never looked that far down. Thanks for the welcome, I am loving both Bookmooch and LT.

Lorna,
How fun! I really enjoyed Spiced- I read it not long after I read Waiter Rant and it was funny to see the differences between the stories at the front and back of the restaurant. I got Monica Ali's In the Kitchen to review, but haven't been able to get into it, I suspect because it is a fictional tale of the life of a chef which seems a little less compelling than the non-fiction one was. I suspect I'll enjoy it more after I cleanse my pallette a bit!
Thanks for the note.

Thanks for snagging - or at least trying to snag - the Tao of Watercolor book :) Hopefully that's a newbie that'll stick around!

I heard back from her and she is planning to mail on Friday, so it's not a major delay.

Hi Geophile,

I got a message this morning from the sender of Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories stating that there will be a delay in sending. It was marked "in a few days". I emailed and asked how long they estimate it will be, and will let you know when I get a response.

Hi Mom,

I've decided to look for books for Tim as he now is feeling good enough to read, although still in hospital/long term care full time for the forseeable future. He is interested in learning how the world works, (in his words). I think pop science is a preferred genre, although it could be other things. He says he is not particularly interested in psychology.

I had blindly got him Bill Bryson, a Short History of Nearly Everything, which was a big hit, and within a week he is almost finished this book. So I want to help him with his reading list by getting him stuff from the library or used bookstores.

I have held at the library for his perusal:

Stephen Hawking, A briefer History of Time, and one other book of his.

Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion (not directly on topic but I am pretty sure will appeal)

2 Jay Ingram books.

Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia - I am thinking of loaning him my copy, although this might miss as he says he is not into the psychology, plus music is a sore spot as he can't play an instrument at present and has lost his perfect pitch.

Any others you think might be enjoyable for him based on this information?

Love, Karen
