I've almost finished "Faerie Wars" by Herbie Brennan. It's quite good. It's marketed as a Young Adult novel but it's a good read for anyone. I'm listening to "The Mists of Avalon" on audio in the truck. I'm almost th…

You are doing the most important job in the world. I was a SAHM for 12 years and I'm glad I did it. I think it made a big difference in my kids. Now I work in a library.

You'd be horrified at the way some of the library books are returned especially in the childrens dept. We check our books more carefully than the adult dept. does and we find all sorts of strange stains and food stuck t…

This is funny/ridiculous. I released a book at a local eatery while on my lunch break. I then had the opportunity to watch the woman with three kids and their reaction to it. The oldest girl (11-12 year old) read the …

and I couldn't go any farther. I'm not sure which parts I disliked the most, the parts where the author was searching for his family history and dealing with the guide who was a poor imitation of Yakov Smirnoff or the h…

SagaMockingbird 19 yrs ago | 3 replies
I listen to a lot of audio books and found that just about anything read by George Guidall will be good--even if the book is mediocre. His reading is great--just enough inflection but not over-the-top. I listened to "C…

I read "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and think it was just dumb. Other people think it's fabulous. I think it's a rambling mess.
