BEST BOOK BIRTHDAY EVER

“Even if he was a thief, he was my thief. I could not push him away anymore.”
Janet Lee Carey, Dragonswood

“Even from behind, I knew the seated man was Garth. I'd seen him in chair, saddle, and by a campfire. I'd known him running with his hounds, grooming his horses, leaning back to look at the stars from the branches of a pine tree, hunched with concentration whittling a doll, carrying Alice through a storm, and even sparring with a dragon. A woman will know a man from all sides after that.”
Janet Lee Carey, Dragonswood

Janet It's fun to meet here in the book lover world.


A fox in a snowstorm HI! I'm sooooooo glad to be your friend!

Janet Hi Judy,

I'd love to hear what you think of Precious Bane. It's my favorite book. I haven't heard of the other two books you mentioned though.

Rain finally stopped here and the sun is out. Ah . . .


message 3: by Judy

Judy Hi Janet,

I hope you didn't get flooded with all the weird weather in the NW. Stay dry!

I am going to look for Precious Bane by Mary Webb. Mary Webb's books are mentioned in the books of a favorite author of mine--Elizabeth Goudge. Did you ever read "Linnets and Valerians" or "The Little White Horse"? Best, Judy


Bradley Hello Janet, I hope you are having a good day! =)
