Noticed you liked Mudbound, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more before you commit:

Hi, I haven't been on for quite a while, we are renting out one of our two homes, yay, before we go down the tubes. I see that we share 31 books now. I have added quite a few and will be putting some more on tonight. Hope all is well, with you. What are you reading now? I'm reading "The Historian," by Elizabeth Kostova, it's quite good, but not what I would call action-packed, more of a psychological thriller. Mary Beth

Great to meet you! Thanks for accepting my friendship. I'm looking forward to checking out your library and I hope you enjoy mine.

No problem. I like that feature, I didn't realise the person with the library got to see it as well!!

Toni,

thanks for the poem, I will read it later. I have posted various poems on librarything. I have not figured out how to do a search yet of librarything to find all of my posts in one list. I always like finding new poems. Some click and a lot do not.

DO you have other favorite poets ?

I really like the poem as well. One of my favorite parts is

"It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light"

A number of years ago i read a book by George Gamow on Astronomy. In the epigraph of the book he posted the following humorus statment.

"Which is more important the sun or the moon?

The moon because it gives us light at night when it is dark
and the sun only gives us light during the day when it is light out anyway."

Do you have any other poems by her ?

I saw that we share an interest in poetry. I thought you might get a kick out of my book Anarchy Bell. It's unlike any poetry book you've ever read, I can guarantee it. It's viewable at Suburban Fiction.com

The Steve Claridge book is,in my opinion,one of the best footballing autobiographies I've read.I'd certainly agree with you about the Gary Nelson books as well - the 2nd one where he's in charge of Torquay is particularly revealing!
If you haven't read it already I can heartily recommend Joe McGinniss' 'The Miracle of Castel di Sangro,' a really great book about a tiny village sides first season in Serie B - really well written and a fascinating story.
