Bulletin from your friendly quilting librarian- Stephanie Plum number
14 lands in June. That is usually when the new ones come out. In the
meantime, we got the new Jennifer Chiaverini yesterday, "The Winding
Way Quilt". Also funny, but in a very different way from Stephanie
Plum are the Miss Julia books by Ann Ross, and we got the latest one
of those yesterday as well. Can remember the title, it is late.

Yee Haw! June! oh....june....that's a ways off. That's ok...I just
started the Ken Follet book "Pillars of the Earth"...it's over 900
pages....I'll probably still be reading it when the 14th book comes out in
paperback! I have a couple of the Chiaverini books but they haven't
clicked with me. I haven't heard of the Ann Ross books. Thanks for the
head's up!

Education is when you read the instructions. Experience is what you get when
you don't.

gonna try one

An oyster can live to itself, but without
grains of sand for agitation it cannot
produce pearls.

the Chiviarini books are really good, but like most series, they
really should be read in order. Just like Harry Potter. they dont
really make sense unless you've read the previous ones.

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.- where we lust after Joe.... and Ranger ain't
half bad, either!


Leslie, I could easily have written exactly the same things as you.
Polly *is* Grandma Mazur, and I wouldn't push either Joe or Ranger away.

Well, Grandma is quite a bit younger. I haven't wrecked many cars lately
just for the fun of it, and my social life doesn't center around what kind
of cookies the funeral homes are serving. Yet. Polly

No, you're right, of course -- but I was thinking more of the
personality and the feistiness. G

Kathyl:
If you go for the Ann Ross books, try to start with the first one .... I
*think* the title is "Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind!" .... that one 'sets' the
stage for the series. I like to read such books in sequence. You can usually
get older books in your library or through the interlibrary loan system in
your area. I love libraries!

Right now I am reading Sue Grafton's T is for T ........ ACK! I can't
remember, but it is another good Kinsey Milhone book.

Sue Grafton started with 'A' in that series, and has been going through
the alphabet.
I was sent that one to see if I thought I'd like the series. I wasn't
too keen, for reasons I won't trouble you with, as they were very 'me'
rather than the rest of the world g
