recommended to Linda by:
Reb
recommended for: Anyone read in June, 2008 
Linda said:
"Reading Wild Highland Home was a true treat. I was worried at first because I didn't care for the main character. But that's the chance an author takes in order to display growth in a character. Claire, an English businesswoman, leaves the city becau...more

read in January, 2008
Linda said:
"I love Mary Roach and that's why I bought this book. Yes, I observed that it could be morbid, but like I said, I love Mary Roach. She's funny. She has the type of humor I like. I'd settled in bed anxious to experience the humor and she didn't disappo...more

Linda said:
"If you like adventure, and if you like learning about ancient civilizations, you'll love The King Must Die by Mary Renault. It took me a while to finish this book because my husband stole it off my nightstand. Whenever I ask him if he liked a book he...more

my rating:

|
recommended for: Everyone
read in June, 2008
Linda said:
"I listened to this book on tape, which I wouldn't recommend, mainly because there's a ton of information to write down and implement. I ordered it on my Kindle (which I'm loving, by the way) and now I have it as a reference. One of the things I reall...more

recommended for: Everyone
read in January, 1979
Linda said:

The Fatal Crown (Hardcover) by Ellen Jones bookshelves: historicals |
my rating:
|
|
recommended for: Someone in the mood for fluff
read in January, 1997
Linda said:
"This is a fictional account of an interesting and very difficult time in English history, the story of Maud and Stephen. The author takes license by turning it into an unlikely romance novel. Nevertheless, it's a fun read if one doesn't take it too s...more

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (Hardcover) by Marcia Williams |
my rating:

recommended to Linda by:
English Reading List
recommended for: Everyone read in January, 1982
Linda said:
"Somehow I'd neglected this book through my reading years. In a way I was glad because I truly appreciated reading Chaucer as a mature adult. For one thing, I understood the bawdy humor! I hope to read this again one day.

English reading list
recommended for: Classic Literature Lovers read in January, 1983
Linda said:
"I found an antique version of this book with black and white illustrations, and it made it so much richer to read. I admit, I read it to round out my book-reading-history. It was a marvelous experience and gave me insight as to why it has existed thr...more

my rating:

recommended for: Everyone
read in January, 1970
Linda said:
"Wilde's own story is more interesting than anything he could have written. His wit is not to be equaled. Dorian Gray gives us a peek into the tortured world Wilde existed in. He was a man before his time, and his time couldn't bring itself to appreci...more

Hi George. Thanks for the compliment! I don't know Amber or Wendy. Your name just showed up in my email today and I thought, "I only know one George." I was surprised when your name showed up.
Hi Lynn, You are a very good writer. My Niece's daughter is Amber Duke. Wendy Bird is my niece. How do you know them. George
