“Sometimes girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, don't get a fair break. Too many of us have been bred to timidity. That is why those who escape must run, not stroll, toward what they desire. They mustn't look back. They mustn't question their own instincts. And they mustn't listen to the naysayers. If they can only follow their own true course, well then, they will be as renowned for their bravery as the greatest men are.”

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours”

OMG!!!!! Thank you!!! I gotta read that. I will add it to the database myself and now must search for it. I'm familiar with the real life aviatrix the book is based on. She had a chapter in that flying flappers book.

I suspect the publicist got my name from another publicist who sent me one book I requested months ago. Problem is the new publicist didn't look very closely at my blog or my reading choices or he wouldn't have sent me these books.
Hayes, have you seen my new blog header??

Contact the publicist and see if s/he will let you do a giveaway? Lucky you, however. How do you convince people to send you books... no one ever sends me anything!!
Friends and fellow readers, Question: Have you ever received books in the mail from publishers that (A) You never asked for. (B) Have no interest in whatsover. I received two hardback books in the mail today. Neither one interests me in the slightest. I don't know why they were sent to me. Do I contact the publicist listed on the papers with the books and tell him I don't want them and pay my own money to ship the unwanted things back or what? I got too many books I WANT to read to waste time on books I DON'T want to read.
Help!!!

Most likely not, but really not sure. Maybe instead of Fabio we get Robert Pattison on the cover
Question for my friends: When a book 40 years old is republished by a different publisher with new cover and all that, do they also edit or change the story or prose? I've found a book I want to read and discovered it isn't new at all, but has been out 40 years and published by probably 10 or more different people. Read the new copy or old? Will anything be different?

Thanks, Hayes! It's been HOT here. No breeze, no rain. Really feels like a desert and I live in the northern part of the state. It will only be for a while tho. Come October it will be snowing again probably. LOL How have you been?
