Isn't it weird that even writers are confined to their own spheres? I've herd of the Hunger Games, of course, but can't recall why.<br /><br />Happy new season reading, my unread pile is ever growing and I think I need to reject a few before I get buried.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-24959419955473726262012-06-01T11:45:58.692-05:002012-06-01T11:45:58.692-05:00I am in awe of how much you read.

I have a wish list on Amazon and also on BN.com... and I just keep adding to them when I see something that sounds interesting on your list!<br /><br />If you find that it's a bother to post, I'm sure we all will understand. Or you could make a list on the sidebar or somewhere.

I hated the ex-girlfriend ... control freak or what?

I think I'll check out The Cat's Table. It sounds good. <br /><br />I was reading a lot also but this new BP med I'm taking makes it hard for me to care what's going on in a book. I kind of hate that.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.com
