I think it's mostly a place to chat about various issues regarding books, but there are also a few publicists who hang out there, like Miriam of Hatchette books. I'm not going to request any books, for a while, so I'll just hang out to chat.

I'm not active on there since I can't seem to find time to do anything right now, but I sent you a quick friend request. Not really sure what Book Blogs is all about despite being a member for 5 months, but I guess its another fun way to connect.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-68653331306860724972008-11-30T12:25:00.000-06:002008-11-30T12:25:00.000-06:00Hi Les,Thank you!

It's been quite a while since I went through my Spenser phase, but I thought they were all terrific except for one --there was one title that was told in alternating POVs and it was awkward. No idea what it was, of course!<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to spend less time everywhere, but it's hard. I love Animus3, I love hanging out with book bloggers and I love reading. Some days it's hard to squeeze life into the equation, so I'm working on that. :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks, we did have a great Thanksgiving! I hope you did, too!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-54996146400604442322008-11-30T08:03:00.000-06:002008-11-30T08:03:00.000-06:00Fun post, Nancy!

And I really enjoyed The Reading Group. Haven't read Double Deuce, but I'm sure I'll get to it. I haven't read any of the Spenser books.<BR/><BR/>I've thought about joining Book Blogs, but I think I have enough on my plate right now. I'm spending a lot of time over at Aminus3.<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. I'm right there with you on that diet thing. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30239666713943958632008-11-29T21:03:00.000-06:002008-11-29T21:03:00.000-06:00Stephanie,I did have a good Thanksgiving, thank yo...Stephanie,<BR/><BR/>I did have a good Thanksgiving, thank you - hope you had a great Thanksgiving, also! You should definitely sign up for Book Blogs. :)<BR/><BR/>Nikki,<BR/><BR/>Thank you! I hope you had a great day, too! It must be interesting spending Thanksgiving in another country. We were on a plane heading across the Atlantic during Thanksgiving of 2001 and that was kind of fun. It helped that the plane was practically empty.<BR/><BR/>Carrie,<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid I can't do a thing to make you smarter because you're so far above me, but we can both pretend. :)<BR/><BR/>Try another language.

I am hoping it provides part of what I need to make some vital changes in my life. 2009 is seriously going to be rough workwise for me.

And, I think you'd like it for his history -- with a brother who committed suicide and how hard he's worked to come to terms with that and the loss of his father.<BR/><BR/>Thank you -- about the 100 thingy! You've seen that photo at Nano. It's tiny, but an old favorite. I tried about a million different photos at Nano and I'm soooo not photogenic. That particular photo was taken at a fun moment in Maine, when I was talking to William and fiddling with the camera. I need to get back to that size. Ahem.
