Plus, I do enjoy discovering new books and authors from each state.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-71657226006876038992012-06-06T20:13:45.871-04:002012-06-06T20:13:45.871-04:00Well, I'll reintroduce myself to you, Lissa! :...Well, I'll reintroduce myself to you, Lissa! : )<br /><br />I think your Reading The States is a great resource, and I imagine it is lot of work for you to compile but it must be kind of fun too.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-59261261221668245922012-06-06T13:51:12.346-04:002012-06-06T13:51:12.346-04:00Care - That would be so much fun!

My five year old is named Alyssa, and we often call her Lissa or Lissy. I've never met anyone else with that nickname.<br /><br />I'm so sad that I didn't visit Shakespeare and Co. Bookstore when I was in Paris last year. I didn't even know about it until I got back. Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey is great.<br /><br />I'm much like you. I never really read new releases. I still don't read them right on release, but usually a month or two after and that's a big change for me. I feel like I've branched out a bit more and have been willing to try new books because of blogging.<br /><br />The people are the best part of blogging, and you are one of them. I'm glad you intend to still be around in five years because I'll still be around reading your posts.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-43105803738936306792012-06-05T12:34:15.986-04:002012-06-05T12:34:15.986-04:00Let me know if/when you are in New England to visi...Let me know if/when you are in New England to visit Mark Twain and the Concord Mass area!

I worked at a daily newspaper and then an ad agency, but for the past year I've been at a medical journal. It's about the only stable job in the media world right now. <br /><br />The Brunette Librarian - They do such a wonderful job developing the characters' back stories, I love it!<br /><br />Aarti - I know!!! I can't wait. I'm definitely preordering The Prisoner of Heaven.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-56035984181493305272012-06-05T11:05:09.563-04:002012-06-05T11:05:09.563-04:00Did you know the sequel to Shadow of the Wind is c...Did you know the sequel to Shadow of the Wind is coming out in July, I think?

Before we moved into this house about 3/4 of my books were in boxes. <br /><br />Jeanne - It is hard! I love that you've found a few through this blog though. I do the same with your blog and a few others. <br /><br />Diane - I think it's hard not to change your reading habits when there are so many great influences in the blogging world! It's good though, because I've read stuff that I probably would have missed otherwise.<br /><br />Kat - I love it too!Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-7850549166464958252012-06-04T23:57:01.161-04:002012-06-04T23:57:01.161-04:00I love (and envy) your home library!

Still, I occasionally like hopping over to visit someone who comments here. So when you find bloggers new to you, I benefit too.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-23835629856534152342012-06-04T21:15:41.199-04:002012-06-04T21:15:41.199-04:00Wow you have so many books!
