I just love books that are just lists of books - I have quite a few. I brought this one to the library today to pick up things for my daughter so it is coming in handy.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-25577600107886834742008-05-27T08:54:00.000-05:002008-05-27T08:54:00.000-05:00Ugh, I hate the dealers at book sales!

My next library sale is next month. you've got so many good ones there, I'm envious! I've got a Fatal Inversion on my pile to read, too--that same edition.

I'm looking forward to all of these - I only wish I could read faster!<BR/><BR/>Eva, I was tempted myself, believe me!<BR/><BR/>Cath, I'm glad to hear that about Blood Doctor - this was the only Vine I found there.

Great for a rainy day.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I'm a bit embarassed myself, but I figure I'm safe among the book loveres. It feels that this kindergarten year has flown by and I'm sure the end of school will truely be here before I know it. Such a bittersweet time, to close one chapter and move on, especially this chapter from childhood on to college and independence.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-57661026837900746802008-05-22T09:05:00.000-05:002008-05-22T09:05:00.000-05:00Wow, you've got some great books there.

I try not to think about it. :) I can sympathize with the flurry of activity that comes with the end of a school year. It will become more busy with each passing year. I'm very sad to be doing this for the last time. My youngest son is graduating from high school on June 12, and there is so much going on right now. But, I'm savoring every bit of it because I know we're closing a chapter in our life. O.K., I'm going to stop now before I start crying at the reference desk.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-11404146640805216462008-05-22T06:12:00.000-05:002008-05-22T06:12:00.000-05:00I have a copy of Dark Hearts Of Chicago on the TBR...I have a copy of Dark Hearts Of Chicago on the TBR that I should get to soon.

Dark Hearts of Chicago was a real ripping yarn. You have Adele there and her daughter Sophie - whom I've yet to read - and other great things, too. Well done!Cornflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779286635989616330noreply@blogger.com
