Om migI've been a bibliophile since the womb. My mama was a school librarian/media specialist when I was a kid, and I followed in her footsteps for over 35 years. I just retired in the spring of 2008.
My husband Lee and I were both teachers. We came to the Sandhills of Nebraska in 1983. It's a great place to teach, a great place to raise kids and cattle. (Our area has far more of the latter than the former.) Lee and I raised a terrific daughter, Mary Leigh, who turned into a great advertisement for growing up in the 'Hills. She in turn found a 6'5" football player at college, married him, and presented us with THE 2 most beautiful, most intelligent grandchildren on the planet. Hannah is 5 and loves books. She especially likes princesses and books Gramma had as a kid. Christian is 3, and loves short books that don't require sitting still too long - especially if they have the Wiggles in them!
I lost my Lee to cancer 4 years ago. Some days are good, some not so good. Books and grandchildren are my delight and my salvation.
Om mitt bibliotekMy Library (Your Library in Collections) is still the record of what I own. Since the advent of Collections, I do have some WishList and some Read But Not Owned on board, but I opted not to count them them in YL. I LOVE Collections, and I'm still dinking with them.
I love reconnecting with books I read as a kid, and I'm always watching for old familiar titles. I can recommend Loganberry Books as a great source for out of print children's and YA books. They are really helpful and available online.
I also have a lot of "vintage" books because I inherit them. I couldn't bear to see my grandmother's teaching materials and novels go to the trash so I rescued them. Some of them are really great reads!! I also have lots of school books and novels that belonged to my parents and grandparents. I love the smell and feel of them.

I currently have all but 4 Victoria Holt books, all but 5 Philippa Carr books and I only have 2 Jean Plaidy books so I have a long way to go. I am doing Hardbacks in the first two and I am looking for the pretty Three Rivers and Arrow reprints of the Jean Plaidy books.
I am glad I found a fellow "Plaidian" :) I even have a category dedicated to her in my 1010 challenge.

I'm one of those 'burn on a rainy day' redheads, so the sun and I have have a love(vitamin d)-hate(skin cancer) relationship... I wear spf100+ here even on winter days. :)
I've recently had to give up sugar, wheat, and other ingredients that I just can't be too cautious about, so I've been looking at adapting all my old favourite recipes into this new, ever-more restrictive plan. I'm also in school, so I have to follow the times of year when I'm 'slightly' less busy than other times in order to spend time on LT. No more cheese either for me, I'm afraid. That one was pretty harsh, I must admit, since I adore cheese. But of course, my health and wellbeing are more important than haloumi...mostly. :)
I have, however, discovered all the wonderful things that coconuts, cocoa butter and agave syrup can do. :)
Thank you for the wishes of fog and low-hanging clouds... I could really use those this week (99 and 100 here... whew! It's only spring!)
I wish you more good days than bad, oh, and my serendipity book collection. They are some of those 'simply wonderful' children's booklets (tiny little things) that I still treasure.
Kass :)

I haven't got any more hidden classics to recommend but I did enjoy "The Drowned Maiden's Hair" by Laura Amy Schlitz. She won the Newbery a couple of years ago with "Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!" (which I loved).
"Drowned Maiden...." is the story of young Maud who is plucked from an orphanage by a trio of elderly sisters, one of whom showers her with affection. Scrappy Maud, who is hungry for love, is immediately taken in until she discovers that the sisters plan to use her during their fake seances. Schlitz brings us back to the early 20th century when spiritualism was popular and charlatans were everywhere. I really enjoyed this one and hope you do too.

Hope you don't mind but can I ask - "Why is it that nearly everyone wants to rename my cat?"
You want to call her Tagmash and one of the other suggestions was Smudge, she does have her nicknames (including Fuzzy britches!) but what is wrong with Circe - a perfectly good witchy name for a cat! Not only is she a character in one of the great epic poems of all times she also turns up in the lyrics of a King Crimson track! She is my little dark enchantress. Just curious, see you in the GD!

Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you when I was in Ontario with Mark. The geese were migrating and we saw many flocks in the days I was there. They don't migrate here, too warm I guess, they tend to stick around all winter. So when I saw them with Mark I couldn't help but think of you and feel how lucky we both are. You for having had such a wonderful man as Lee in your life for so long, and me for having Mark.
I love watching the geese too, brings back good memories of fall days up at our cottage when I was little, gorgeous autumn colours, calm lake waters, silence and honking geese. I'm glad you shared your experience and memory with us.
hugs my friend,
Katherine

I am such a pathological bibliophile that I have to smuggle new books into the house so that my husband doesn't see them! I just can not say no to books. I also love Star Trek. Many of my Star Trek books are paperbacks and I have not catalogued those yet. Thanks for dropping by.

I just last week had a similar experience but on a much smaller scale. I was taking flowers to Ally and Elisabeth's grave and when I got there I saw two magpies on the grass right by their memorial vase.
Most people here don't like magpies as they are unlucky, but I love to see them and don't find them unlucky at all and often when I am thinking about my babies I see a pair together, so they are a bit of a comfort to me. It was lovely to see two right there in the baby garden.
I'm glad the geese made you happy, seeing a big flock like that, it's always an amazing sight.

We have almost no books in common. I think that is very cool, I don’t have much interest in people whose reading tastes are similar to mine so I hope you don’t mind but I’ve added you to my interesting libraries.
I also couldn’t let my grandmother’s books go either so have them in storage. I remember one where she had written on the inside cover- ‘read by moonlight’ and gave the date. And, another thing we both like is that I love the smell of a book. On rainy weekends I love to read for a few hours and then doze with an open book resting on the bridge of my nose. Simple joys.
