I love the new blog, Wendy. A leisurely morning in bed sounds so nice! I wonder if my two animals will ever let me enjoy that again. Haha Have a great week, Wendy.

Thanks all for the positive feedback on my new blog!

Amy: I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Resistance… I hope you like it as much as I did.

Bethany: I have been getting quite a few books through Library Thing. If you don’t have many books uploaded to your library, that would be my first suggestion because part of how they pick reviewers is by using your library. Also, posting reviews of books on your Library is also important, I think. I am really selective about what I suggest – I try to pick books that are “typical” types of reads for me because I know they are matching books to readers to some degree. Keep trying!

Frumiousb: I know what you mean about The Gathering – I actually ended up rating it high because I actually think it was brilliantly written, although the subject matter and the coarseness of it is at times disturbing.

Ann: We are feeling springlike in Northern California right now with temps in the mid-60s…I’m sorry to hear about your awful weather! I’ll be interested to see what you think of Enright’s short stories…

I love the new look, especially the heading. Apart from anything else, it looks spring like. Here we are in the middle of the worst storm in the winter and reports of flying sheds on their way to the Land of Oz are not exaggerations! The Enright is on my list of award winners to read fairly soon, but from what you say I think I’d better make sure I read it on a ‘good’ day. She’s just published a book of short stories that has been very well reviewed. I don’t know if they’re more of the same, but they might be an easier way in.

I just finished The Gathering myself. I was a little bit surprised that it won the Man Booker, to be honest. I found it good, but not great.

New look is nice– very clean.

haha! I didn’t realize that was last weeks. I thought that was from this week. THANKS for the information I will use it for sure. I am in Libraby Things Early Reviewers group, but I request books and don’t ever get them. Have you gotten a lot from this source? Is there something I can do to up my chances of getting them, as in reviewing other books that I have read?

I will try the other links and see how it all works out! Thanks again!

I love your new blog! I can’t wait to finish Resistance. I have enjoyed it so far. I just haven’t had time to read much. I look forward to reading your review when I am done!

Wendy, the new blog looks great! Nice work!

I think you’ll enjoy The Story of Forgetting – it was one of my favorites last year, very dear story and quite well written.
