| Golo I bought a new quilt magazine early in the week with a DVD on it about long arm quilters. Thought that it would be interesting. Well I read the magazine and put the DVD on last night to watch it. Soon as it started I thought " I've seen this !" looked in my stack and sure enough there was ANOTHER magazine and DVD THE SAME AS !!!!! I had already bought it and read the mag before. I know my memory is going but , geeze ...things are crooker than I thought LOL or was the magazine so boring the first time around LOL |

| Oh, I really relate to this discussion. I volunteer in the library on Friday afternoons in a little gift shop where we sell second hand books. They are .50 and $1.00 for paperbooks and $2-4 for most hardbacks so it is hard to pass up the bargains. I just keep adding to my stacks (plural) and I can't read them fast enough.
Here are a few in my stack, but I can't possibly name them all. Cleopatra's Daughter- Michelle Moran The Memory Keeper's Daughter-Kim Edwards The Shack-Wm Paul Young Barefoot- Elin Hilderbrand The Forgotten Garden- Kate Morton A Thread so Thin- Marie Bostwick Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind- Ann B. Ross Back When We Were Grownups- Anne Tyler Let Love Come Last- Taylor Caldwell Our Mutual Friend- Charles Dickens Furious Love- about Liz Taylor and Richard Burton
Any thoughts on any of these.
How can we possibly read all the books and make all the quilts we want? :roll: |

They are Books two and three of a series. Book one is " The Caregiver ". I don't have time to dig all the others out right now, will add them as I get them out. Norma |

| Just finished The Bishop's Daughter and thank goodness for a happy ending! I have two waiting to start--Miss Julia Rocks the Cradle and The Wedding Promise. These are the last two books given to me by my sister who passed in October and I haven't been able to pick them up yet. Maybe I'll just request a few from the library. |

Slumbersoft I read The Memory Keepers Daughter some time ago. Had to go look it up to remember what it was about ! I then remembered that it was OK . I read it anyway and for me that means OK [ good } as I wont wade through something I don't like . You are lucky to get used books for that price ! I have a second hand book shop near me and they charge round $12/ 15 per book Even at the Op Shops they are round $5 That is why I like my Kindle !! |

| Slumbersoft, I've read the Miss Julia book. I've read all of them in the series except for the last one. Some are good and funny, others were just okay to me. I like to read books that are in a series.
By the way, welcome to the group.

| I do too Jill. It is more interesting instead of just one book, more happening that way. Norma |

| I just went to the used book store and bought a really big pile of romances and a few mysteries. they should keep me busy for a while. When I got home, I found that I'd bought #s 1 and 4 from one of my fav authors, so I downloaded 2 and 3 on the kindle. Dh has them now that I'm done. |

| Thanks, Jill,
I also like to read series at times. Someone recommended those Miss Julia books and I saw that first one at the library. I will see what I think.
Does any one belong to any book clubs? I belong to one, also at the library, but just pick and choose which months I go, depending on book chosen by the leader (librarian). |

| QuiltMom9, I've read A Reliable Wife, it was really strange, and very disturbing in spots,  but I did like the ending. It just took a long while to get there. |
