Welcome To My Library - . . . and curl up with a good book . . . - Books

I'm doing better! It's only slightly over a year since I updated the homepage. Overall it was a good year, tried to do as much reading as possible. When I last updated this page I said I was hoping to get back to listing the traditional Regencies - well, if you're a Regency fan you know that they are NO LONGER publishing the trads and we've been mourning this loss over on the Regency list at YahooGroups. We've been doing some retro-reading of favorite older Regencies and discovering some new Regency historical authors. The historicals aren't quite the same thing, the feeling is so different, and in general the quality of the historicals published these days borders on the average to mediocre with barely a few rare gems. Last year at this time I told you I'd just discovered Tess Gerritsen, and it seems like I'm still reading a lot of non-romance or non-historical stuff. Never was much on readng contemporary romances but they seem to be creeping into my TBR pile. Right now I'm just discovering Nancy Bush' "Jane Kelly" books - only three of them so far, wish she'd write 'em faster. Jane is a single 30-year old process-server who is slowly getting in the PI business out in Oregon. The setting is a nice change of venue, Jane is a cheapskate whose fridge is nearly always empty, but she always enjoys a free meal, and enjoys those meals when she gets them. She's a hot ticket - check her out. The MedievalReader list is chugging along in its own quiet way. After seeing the unrest and turmoil on some of the other Lists, I think it's refreshing to find a quiet place where we can discuss our favorite books and authors. If you're interested in signing on to the list, please send a blank e-mail to MedievalReader-subscribe@yahoogroups.com - we look forward to having you join us! The harlequinpresentsfans group is also doing well - we're having a great time discussing our favorite Harlequin Presents books, talking about our favorite HP authors. If you're a long-time fan or new to Presents, come and join us. Simply send a blank e-mail to harlequinpresentsfans@yahoogroups.com to sign on and join the discussions. It isn't a large volume list - the messages comes in fits and spurts, just the right amount of message traffic. Gail/The Bookbabe February 17, 2008
