You will most definitely, like The...Oh, Susan, yes. You will most definitely, like The Book of Lost Things. You can't be a lover of fairytales and NOT like that book. And try A Tree Grows in Brooklyn again. I got quite a ways through it before I cried this time and was wondering if I actually would. And good, you'll help keep me reading more Beagle.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-71222905596667719552008-07-05T00:53:00.000-04:002008-07-05T00:53:00.000-04:00After that stellar review, I will get a copy of B...After that stellar review, I will get a copy of Book of Lost Things! So far no one has anything bad to say about it! And your thirteen year old and mine should get together, since mine cried so hard the first I read it, I haven't been able to read it since. but it's turning up on lists and maybe I won't cry quite so hard this time!! *sniff*<BR/> i'll have to look out for that Peter Beagle, I think there's a free spirit rider in all of us, don't you? Sounds like a great book! and I'm reading Tamsin soon, and The Innkeeper's Song, so that should remind you in the next while about him! <BR/> and thanks for the handy books not to read list! <BR/> I'm off to do your meme now! finally!!

(I actually AM there somewhere. I just never do anything about it.) And I knew (how, I haven't a clue, since, you know, it couldn't possibly be because I'd appreciate such things) you'd appreciate a Things Not to Read List. Don't worry, sometimes we have slow reading years. The writing is obviously more important to you right now.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-34528915712901980662008-07-03T14:43:00.000-04:002008-07-03T14:43:00.000-04:00Ugh.

For the love of....<BR/>Okay.<BR/>Anyway - great list! I've heard so many things about Connolly's Lost Things and I believe he wrote a mystical mystery series I really liked so this is definitely on my list! And I appreciate the books NOT to read, as well -so important! I feel like the SlOWEST reader in the world this year...it's taking me about a month a book. I think it's because I'm writing so much more?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-6633968507778421102008-07-03T14:17:00.000-04:002008-07-03T14:17:00.000-04:00Yup, I just got a few additions to my TBR list.Yup, I just got a few additions to my TBR list.ZoesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279493011192565601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-90896522568123066382008-07-03T05:44:00.000-04:002008-07-03T05:44:00.000-04:00Dorr, it's called working in the publishing indust...Dorr, it's called working in the publishing industry, having friends in the library world, oh yes, and blogs (but you already know how those can lead you to books). You don't really need to get into goodreads, because you blog is so thorough, but glad you're enjoying my thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, Stef, I think you'd really like both the Connolly and the Beagle (and two I won't have to put in the TBR tome when you write about them). You'd also like the Bechdel if you haven't read it yet (can't remember whether or not you have).Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-3125131141328881172008-07-02T21:39:00.000-04:002008-07-02T21:39:00.000-04:00My husband read and loved Book of Lost Things.

I read The Last Unicorn ages ago and enjoyed it. I'll have to give this one a try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-28710659275271083152008-07-02T19:22:00.000-04:002008-07-02T19:22:00.000-04:00It's fun reading your thoughts on Goodreads -- I'm...It's fun reading your thoughts on Goodreads -- I'm not into it myself (yet), but I do like getting your updates in my email! Interesting list of likes and dislikes -- I'm struck by how many books are here that I haven't heard of before, except through you -- you have a way of finding interesting and unusual things!Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
