Cherished Memories


It's that time again - time that I shuffle from expensive Manhattan apartment to expensive Manhattan apartment offering me a new a lease. This means, for me, getting rid of a lot of books. I know that sounds like heresy, but it's actually quite hard to shlep around 800+ books from apartment to apartment if you move every 2-3 years.

This time around, a lot of the old Pride and Prejudice sequels Read more of this blog post »

People like this one but I'm going to have to knock a star off for (a) being very short, (b) constantly introducing new characters, and (c) the Big E once again being absent from everything. Also, if you aren't good with Horus Heresy lore, this book ...more

Happy New Year!


Janice Happy New Year.


Janice Have a beautiful 1st day of Summer, tomorrow.


Janice Just checked, and all of your hardcopy books, have been withdrawn from the library system, where I've worked for 30+ years, but we do have some e-books. Oh, well...I'll check the used bookstores.


Janice Thank you for friending me. I've been skimming thru your books, that I've checked out from the public library--where I work-- for years. Pride and Prejudice-- and the movies made from it-- has been one of my favorite stories, for years. I plan to start reading your books during the summer. Have a great day.
