LOL<br /><br />Belle--I've found PBS to be wonderful. I've been able to sample lots of books that have camped out on my wish list, and I haven't broken the bank in the process. It's a shame that you can't join it, too! :(<br /><br />Thanks, Avis and Mary!<br /><br />Louise--Denis and I will be heading down to a cottage in the mountains of southeastern Arizona in a couple of weeks. I have a feeling that The Girl Who Played With Fire is coming along with us!<br /><br />Wendi--I may have some success with hand-feeding the birds around here. We shall see!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-66936193468468028042009-05-26T08:17:02.343-07:002009-05-26T08:17:02.343-07:00What a wonderful collection of books Cathy!

I can tell you mine afterwards ;o)<br /><br />And yes, Swedish crime writers are REALLY taking over the world these days. Can't shake off that nasty jealous feeling that it aint the Danish crime writers, LOL. But that is the way it goes. We (Denmark and Sweden) are forever "fighting" each other in a sort of a good humoured arch enemy fight. On the other hand, the Swedish writers are LEAGUES better than most of the Danish ones, so I guess there is a reason its the Swedish ones being popular and not the Danish ones....<br /><br />Happy reading!<br /><br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-73492377042735271092009-05-25T14:01:06.223-07:002009-05-25T14:01:06.223-07:00Nice list.

LOL The more tidbits I read about The Uncommon Reader, the more I think I'll be picking it up very soon.<br /><br />Bernadette--I read your reviews of both books and was very glad to see that you liked them!<br /><br />Kaye--As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat an English garden, and I'm looking forward to reading about Heligan being brought back to life.<br /><br />Beth--I hope you get there. I intend to take the ferry to the Outer Hebrides next time and visit the standing stones of Calanais. (Think Stonehenge with a lot less tourists!)<br /><br />Rhapsody--It's not as bad as it looks. I took most of the books I sent out to the PO myself. The wildlife in my backyard is very used to me, so I'd like to see if I can hand feed them.<br /><br />Wordlily--I can't wait to get to that one!<br /><br />Blodeuedd--Swedish mystery writers seem to be taking over the world at the moment!<br /><br />Kathy--Yes, I am going to give hand-feeding a try. If it works, I'll be blogging about it.<br /><br />Kristen--I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Hopefully Sea Room won't turn out to be one of my "retirement books"!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-80232351609350918272009-05-25T09:36:45.706-07:002009-05-25T09:36:45.706-07:00The Uncommon Reader was a delightful read.
