Om migMy mother claims I've had a book in my hand since I was 2 and read, stacked and re-stacked my Golden Books until they fell apart. I am definately a bookaholic! Growing up in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania, we had libraries but no book stores. I guess I've over compensated ever since. I have to own the book...sorry librarians, I just can't help it. It's my addiction.

A high-school history teacher in my earlier life, I live in suburban Philadelphia with my husband and 2 sons and have been a magazine and web editor for the past 20 years.

Om mitt bibliotekEclectic but heavy on historical fiction and non-fiction. I'm fortunate to have a library in my home but have only found the time to catalog about 55% of my books. So this in an ongoing hobby. Luckily I've also become addicted to LT.

"Thanks Elizabeth for the book suggestion. I've been trying to talk my husband into going to Scotland as I got sucked into "Outlander" this summer and blew through all 7 books. Where in PA are you? I'm orginally from Pottsville and my husband from Hazleton and are now in suburban Philadelphia. Regards, Dayna"

Well...I am going to Scotland over Thanksgiving...my son lives there.....I will have to read Outlander...I guess it is about Scotland?

I know where Pottsville and Hazleton are. :)

I live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh.

Keep in touch...such fun meeting readers and people who live close..small world. :)

Thanks for accepting the friend request...we have a number of books in common...I am going to check out your shelf for more ideas. :)

I see you have not read Shadow of the Wind....you are missing a terrific book....I loved that book.

I enjoyed that book so much my son and I went to Barcelona to find all the places in the book...he loved the book too and the scavenger hunt we did there. :)

Anne Perry is on of my favorite mystery/historical novel writers, too.
I've read all of the Thomas/Charlotte Pitt series (finished 'Buckingham Palace Gardens" in Aug. '09), most of the Monk series (need to Find/Read the most recent Monk), and all five of her WWI series. I've also read a couple of her Christmas/Holiday short novels featuring secondary characters from the Monk series).

Actually I haven't read that yet lol because its going to be quite a commitment! I'll let you know though... If I ever finish it that is.
It was nice seeing you at the party yesterday.

Aloha Dayna - Nice of you to comment on my page. I have looked at your list too and will do so again for more suggestions and reminders. I just noticed Kathleen Woodiwiss on yours and had to giggle at the memory of those "bodice rippers" that I used to enjoy back in my younger days. I had forgotten all about her along w/Rosemary Rogers but now I guess I'll fess up and add them, lol!

Both of my sons got married last year, so I'm already working on being a burden to my daughter-in-laws. LOL

Thanks for remembering my question about The Mermaid Chair! I appreciate your thoughts. I'd still like to read it at some point, I really loved The Secret Life of Bees, but at least I can go in with realistic expectations. Thanks :)

Noticed you liked She's Come Undone, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also about a disturbed young girl's downward spiral and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Dayna,

Thanks for the heads up about Outlander. I've always been a fairly liberal reader (and person), but I have been a teacher for so long that anything that is potentially offensive sets off alarm bells for me. Not sure how I feel about that. Perhaps it's a self-protective mechanism against possible reactions from parents? Do you have that experience? Still, I look forward to the Outlander books. Thanks so much for your input!

Hi Dayna

Thank you for noticing my library - it is all the flattering as you are obviously a lady who knows her books.

inlägg gjort av Ductor vid 3:57 pm (EST) Mar 31, 2009

Thank you , Dayna, for letting me know what you think of Outlander -- I always appreciate hearing about a good read! I'll probably be picking it up sometime soon. Thanks!
Anne

Hi, Dayna ~ Thanks for your advice on "A Thread of Grace."

I see we have a few favorites in common ~ although not on my official LT favorite authors list, I also love the Anne Perry series (both) and think Doris Kearns Goodwin's "A Team of Rivals" is amazing. Another similarity between us is the way we grew up loving books. Your evocative description of 2-year old you stacking your Golden Books brought up an image of myself at around the same age sitting in the corner of my grandma's kitchen where my "library" of Golden Books was the bottom shelf of the cart that held the electric roaster. I loved those books, and still have some of them ~ the ones that didn't fall apart from over-handling. :)

Just a quick note on "Guernsey." If you still haven't read it, I think you will like it a lot. I loved it.

Happy reading!

Hi, again, Dayna

There's a new ETTA Facebook page!

Maybe you could start the discussion!

Here's the link!

Hello Dayna!
Thanks for adding me to the list of your interesting libraries. Quite flattering!
I see we share a passion for Charlotte and Thomas Pitt. What about William Monk? I like this series even more, as the mysteries are more complicated even though at times more disturbing. It will be interesting to hear your opinion.
In the meantime, happy reading!!

Ack! Sorry, I thought I replied to this awhile ago, but it doesn't look like I did! I went to Dickinson College in Carlisle PA for a year but then took a couple years off- just working. I'm at Camden County College right now- not an English major yet- but will be soon :)

I actually haven't had a chance to read "Guernsey" either! Actually for the same reason you haven't- I have a bunch of ARCs to read through. I recently bought "Guernsey" but it's sitting in my giant TBR pile. I've heard it's amazing though!

Sidenote- that's awesome that you're an editor. That's one of the things I'm considering I want to be in the future.
