Hi Nancy-- Quite recently I bought your book "Hooked on Antifreeze." I thought it would be a good companion to a wonderful book I just finished that was also set in Alaska: "The SNow Child" by Eowyn _____. Have you read it? I wrote a review. Five stars. I look forward to reading your book very soon. Jean Harkin

Hi Nancy-- Thanks for "liking" my review of "Flash." But I'm curious-- what did you like, since I actually didn't review it? Just wondering if you know some of the writers who are included in this anthology.
I'm new at this Goodreads game. I just "liked" that you're reading. :) I read Shipping News years ago. Not sure why that's showing up.
Hi Nancy-- Not sure how you "liked" my review of "The Invention of Wings" since I'm only just now reading it and haven't actually reviewed it. Interesting! Maybe you're anticipating I'll rate it highly. And I think you're right.Are you just now reading "The Shippinng News"? I loved that book.
