Thanks for recs. I found The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker and it sounded like something I would like. I've been looking at Perdido Street Station.
I've been introduced to a new (to me) genre, having just read Soulless by Gail Carriger. Is anyone familiar with this (sub)genre? Can you make any recommendations?
I would recommend Maisie Dobbs by Jaqueline Winspear. The main character was a battlefield nurse during WWI. The 2nd in the series deals with the emotional toll that took on her.
It's all over the place here in TN. Very shocking. Looks like murder/suicide.
What is the best mystery (single novel, not series) you have ever read?
The Miss Julia Series by Ann Ross is excellent.
I thought I had seen this topic before, but I couldn't find it. So, I'm starting another.
I love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
You can't beat the Hitchhiker'series by Douglas Adams.
While I don't call myself a romance reader, I adore Susan Elizabeth Phillips--there are moments from a couple of her books that I giggle about just remembering.
How about you? Has anything given you a belly laugh?
I've read the Pink Carnation series and liked them. I love the Gaslight series by Victoria Thompson set in the late 19th century in NYC. Maisie Dobbs series set in 1920s London. There is a wonderful series set in post Revolutionary War Maine...Sarah Lawrence maybe?
There is a long story behind my knowing this, but...
Lorretta Lynn had a hit in 1972 called "One's On The Way". It was written by Shel Silverstein.
Fellow Tennessean, bidding you welcome!
Vicki_girl...I grew up in east Bham...
I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Mr. Malcolm's list from the author, Susan Allain. It was a little Georgette Heyer, a little Jane Austen, and a lot of fun.
Hello from a fellow Tennessean...

I just finished Dead and Gone. I'm a whole year behind, but my little library is sometimes slow on getting books. I love that Sookie is growing, maturing, thriving. I am in love with Sam...who is so desparately in love with Sookie.
I also wanted to recommend to anyone who loves this series a new book I read last nite, Eve of Darkenss by S.J. Day.
I started with the 2nd book and loved it. I'm glad I started with it and not the first. I've read the first four, now, and am waiting to get the 5th from the library.
I would recommend Ann Patchett. She has several very well written, interesting books.
Also, I really loved The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon.
When I think of Montana and North Dakota, I think of hunting, which leads me to Ted Nugent. He has a couple of cook-books on killing and grilling.
I'm a big fan of Ina Garten and love her cookbooks. She makes complicated, elegant food seem easy.

Good to know! I never could figure that one out.
Didn't I see a topic at one time about books we wanted to rave about? Or trash? Is my age getting to me? Or am I having a "blonde" year?
Also, why can't I post a new thread to the "general" discussion folder?
