Om migI'm a singer, a music teacher, a mother of two, an avid reader and a confirmed book hound.
Om mitt bibliotekMy very eclectic collection includes my husband's books, books belonging to my children that are current favorites or keepers, and all the various book flotsam I've amassed over many years of indiscriminate book accumulation. Some of my sheet music is also included, although the majority has yet to be cataloged.

I'm delighted that you liked your presents! I found The enchanted April and the Margery Sharp one on a shelf of Virago books in an obscure corner behind the desk in Skoob Books in London (a haunt of mine). Seeing that you liked memoirs and had some Penelope Lively, I had her memoir in mind (though I haven't read it), and came across it in Daunt's, another favourite shop, just before I was about to wrap your present. So it was a last-minute extra!
Hope you enjoy them!

Thank you Liz, very much, you've made SantaThing great fun. Christmas has started early! And the New Year will be off to a great start. Woo Hoo!!
I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas,
all the best,
Katherine
p.s. we share some interesting books don't we? I don't know too many who have An Exaltation of Larks, or Are Women Human? I love my 100 English Folksongs, my mom used to sing the songs and I'd accompany her on my flute :-)

In the middle of our porridge plates
There was a blue butterfly painted
And each morning we tried who should reach the
butterfly first.
Then the Grandmother said: "Do not eat the poor
butterfly."
That made us laugh.
Always she said it and always it started us laughing.
It seemed such a sweet little joke.
I was certain that one fine morning
The butterfly would fly out of our plates,
Laughing the teeniest laugh in the world,
And perch on the Grandmother's lap.

Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

'Sophie Rose, a tough and determined newspaper reporter' and 'brash but sexy Jack MacAlister'. *chortle* what a kick.
you and the novels make such dynamic duos. since i don't care for romance novels myself, i find that your enjoyment of them gives me the best of two worlds: i can avoid reading them and i get witty quotes.
thanks.

Many years ago, I lived in SF and in San Rafael and I MISS MISS MISS
the plethora of bookstores of the Bay area! One of San Luis Obispo's
best used bookstores, Leon's, closed last May and oh what a sad day
that was. Must make plans to hop a train and descend upon Green Apple, etc.!
(I just know there are Viragos lurking there!)
Have a great weekend, Liz!

Do you do a lot of gardening? It must be wonderful to be in a place where you can do it almost all year long. I'm just at the beginning of planning my vegetable garden, and am hoping to finally install my first native garden area this spring. Right now I'm in the "look through garden catalogs and dream" stage of the year, which in Minnesota lasts for months!

Thank you so much for the SantaThing books! I'm going to read The Game of Kings first. They both look wonderful and I can't wait to really get into them!
Both books were great picks for me!
I hope you got everything you wanted.
Thanks again,

The tag "sister book" means it's a book my sisters and I shared when we were teenagers mostly--we checked them out from the library and took turns reading them. I have three sisters, all within six years of age from the oldest to the youngest. We still reread these books occasionally.
Emily has a word for colors on almost every page!
I am thinking about trying to start a thread on things I like about Emily Loring.

I am glad the book arrived safely. Since you are interested in Australian women writers, you should (if you have not done it already) check out Katherine Susannah Prichard, Eleanor Dark, Miles Franklin (I am sure you know her), Dorothy Hewett, Marjorie Barnard. These are those that come to mind right off the bat, but if you take a look at my catalogue you will find much more.
For the Italian fairy tales, take a look at www.Hoepli.it
They have a large selection and ship abroad. Also, do not forget to look for "Fiabe Italiane" collected by Italo Calvino, a real gem, or "Novelle della Nonna" by Emma Perodi.
Let me know if I can be of further help.

I do hope it came across as a polite FYI, as Tim doesn't want us asking people to change their data, but I knew I would want to know,and your profile looked like you were as interested in the connections as much as the cataloging on LT.
Happy reading.

I was mildly intrigued that the one and only book we SEEM to share, according to LT, is a title I don't possess, let alone list.
Spooky, I reckon.
It was good of you to acknowledge my response, and to qualify your aversion to writers I like. I am touched (but you can tell that already).
One of the things I take to, in "Wuthering Heights", say, is the strangeness of it, the wuthering involved (what a word!) The very fact that Cathy and Heathcliff are NOT easily identifiable with, or comforting exactly. I'm not sure that's what YOU look for in a book (frankly I doubt it) but it isn't what interests me (I prefer a sloppy joe to a close-knitted number, if I can put it like that.)
The moors seem to 'work' for the Brontes (esp Emily), much like the sea works for me; seen in a certain light (or night) the one thing they're NOT is predictable, or re-assuring.
I daresay this is a clumsy and jejune answer to your question; I'll try to give it deeper thought (I am always trying)

I love "Wuthering Heights", and "Emma" has to be my favorite Austen.
Now I feel vaguely suicidal. Not your fault of course; I shouldn't be so sensitive or paranoid, but critics are always plotting against me and mine. undermining our judgement.
ps. I have never read (or seen) Richard Scarry's Best Storybook Ever (though it sounds as if I should've). According to the "Books You Share" feature, on the right, it is the one title we have in common. In fact, I have approx thirty from your (interesting) list - not counting all the Harry Potters - and particularly like Susan Cooper, Peter Beagle, and Madeleine L'Engle. So there!
pps. you have a neat name.
R.
