    I guess so, I downloaded it and will start today. I will probably read the book you suggested as well, Peder, because it looked really good :)

    Suggestions: March 2013 BOTM - Short Story Collection

    Yay! I am trying to finish Outlander too and almost gone, so this is perfect :) My suggestion is, Steampunk! An Anthology Of Fantastically Rich And Strange Stories, edited by Kelly Link & Gavin J. Grant. From Amazon- Imagine an alternate universe where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft...

    50 Shades of Grey

    I'm with you. I don't think anyone is reading these books for relationship advice or guidance, they are more for entertainment and fantasy. I can't speak for everyone that's read them but most of my personal friends that read them are already in a relationship and none of their partners are...

    Random pictures of your cat

    Y'all have very cute cats, we adopted a brother and sister, Georgie & Gertie, this fall and they are my constant companions, they even like going in the car with me. It's been awhile since I posted an image, so fingers crossed.

    Annoyed With A Giveaway

    I agree with kelstan, always look at the upside :) I like Goodreads and keep track of my books there, I love finding new books to read too by checking the reviews, lists and discussions. I had entered the giveaways everyday for years and never won, so I often wondered exactly how they pick...

    February 2013: Diana Gabaldon: Outlander

    Well Claire did get a bit in, she put up a fight and scratched him on the face. And going back to the rape, I think it also served to strengthen the bond between Claire and Jamie, they didn't just survive some rough times together, she brought him back from the brink, manhood intact, I didn't...

    Suggestions on how to set up a table at the library

    I did children's story time at the library for a couple of years and I can tell you stickers and book marks never get old!I think kids like having something to take away with them :) For a display I would set up something eye catching and that possibly engages them in the story, depending on age...

    February 2013: Diana Gabaldon: Outlander

    I put off reading the Outlander books because I don't like romance too, but I did really enjoy them. I think because they are much more than just a romance, adventure or time travel story and she is one of the few authors that strikes that perfect balance of description that takes me into the...

    Looking for a decent fantasy series.

    I don't read a lot of fantasy but out of what I've read I do like George R.R. Martin, Tad williams and R.A. Salvator quite a bit. I think the Otherland series by Tad Williams is very good, it takes you to many different settings and has a lot of great characters. "The first volume in this...

    Recommendations for a Gormenghast fan?

    You might like, Pfitz, by Andrew Crumey. I think it has a little similarity to Gormenghast, but it is hard to explain why, they just felt the same I guess. An eighteenth-century prince devotes his entire wealth and the energy of his subjects to the creation of Rreinnstadt, a fantastic city that...

    Isabel Wilkerson: The Warmth of Other Suns

    "In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to...

    Kathryn Stockett: The Help

    I did like this book and it was very eye opening, I was very caught up in the whole dynamic of how the relationships were between the races, how intimate and cruel. Maybe it is historically inaccurate in some parts but the sentiment felt true. I had the unique perspective of being raised in a...

    Post-Apocalyptic! End of the World books

    I really liked, The Age of Miracles, by Karen Thompson Walker, too. I will warn you though that it has pretty mixed reviews. “It’s never the disasters you see coming that finally come to pass—it’s the ones you don’t expect at all,” says Julia, in this spellbinding novel of catastrophe and...
