I just got the kindle version of War Horse. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35509#post-705498 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:35:55 +0000 VanessaB 705498@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am working my way through the Hannah Swenson Series from the beginning. I just finished Peach Cobbler Murder tonight. I also got the cookbook and have made LOTS of cookies. Deffinately a great series if you like murder mysteries, but with a lighter side. I LOVE Moishe! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40134#post-704171 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:04:45 +0000 krazikat 704171@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Loved Isaac's Storm ! Also loved White City and you just gotta read Thunderstruck. It's about the Dr. Crippen chase across the atlantic when radio signals were in their infancy. Everyone I gave a copy of Thunderstruck to complained that they didn't get any sleep because they had to stay up and finish the book. Erik Larson is such a wonderful writer. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40134#post-704114 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:42:10 +0000 WillowandWindismom 704114@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, I hadn't heard of that one, Kilroy! I've read so much about that hurricane. Think I'll see if the book is available on Kindle. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40134#post-704108 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:25:04 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 704108@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Devil in the White City is on my to read list! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/40134#post-704105 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:08:53 +0000 Kilroy 704105@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm reading "Isaac's Storm" by the same author and it's terrific. It's about the Galveston hurricane in 1900 and the man who ran the Weather Service in Galveston. I highly recommend it.</p> <p>I also put "Devil in the White City" on hold, but even being out as long as it has, there's a huge wait for it from the NYPL. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/39420#post-695193 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:21:48 +0000 Anci 695193@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, the second book in the Zvonek 08 series is out from today.

This thread is two years old. MC is doing just fine now. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20683#post-679558 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 01:19:25 +0000 Dee 679558@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC, you are more than your illness. Referring to yourself as a Miracle Kid, among other things, just negatively reinforces everything you believe about your illness and keeps you stunted in that dark place. Please realize that you are cared for and valuable, ill or healthy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/20683#post-679504 Sat, 24 Sep 2011 18:46:06 +0000 kittygirl 679504@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>meow </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37966#post-678383 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:18:41 +0000 Kilroy 678383@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have not, but I could probably keep myself in reading material for the rest of my life just reading books that have been written about NYC (and I would learn all sorts of interesting stuff.

They were initially strays i used to feed, living in the back alley. These two are siblings...the only surviving ones of a family of 6 including momma. Momma and two siblings were killed by wild dogs when they were approx 2mths old(before I knew we hd wild dogs in the neighbourhood) and another sibling was poisoned about two weeks later (I hv monsters as neighbours here who think it's perfectly ok to deal with strays by poisoning them). That's when I decided to intervene and take them both in even though my house is overrun with kittehs. Oh well, what's another two? :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674076 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 12:02:14 +0000 linda 674076@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>jcat, I saw that! but I'm wondering how that will affect his "dishyness"? John Rhys Davies looked soooo different as a dwarf! and you should keep living in hope! You never know :) I wonder if there are pics of him in Dwarf mode? prob not, too hush-hush, but can't wait for the movie! </p> <p>thanks khom! I do like gritty period stories with strong heroines! oh, and btw, your avatar is adorable!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674069 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:53:08 +0000 Khom 674069@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i saw BBC's North and South two yrs back. that started my love affair (albeit one-sided) with the dishy Richard Armitage. I read the book after watchign the movie. I cn't decide which is better. If u like gritty period stories with strong heroines...u should like her books. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674068 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:49:06 +0000 jcat 674068@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ooh, Linda, he's starring as Thorin Oakenshield, chief dwarf, in the The Hobbit so he's living in Welly at the moment. Alas, I have never seen him wandering down Cuba Mall... but I live in hope... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674067 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:34:24 +0000 linda 674067@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well, that clip sold me! I was looking up Richard Armitage for some reason and that led to North and South and Gaskell! I think now I should watch the series first, then read the book. Thanks for the clip...I never occurred to me to look on youtube! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674063 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:52:47 +0000 jcat 674063@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ohhhh, I'd forgotten all about North and South! The BBC did the most WONDERFUL adaptation of it in four parts, it's swoony, Linda, you must see it. I had to rush out and get the DVD, I loved it so much. Check it out on Youtube:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN58WAmuuqI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN58WAmuuqI</a><br /> Much more dramatic than Cranford, that's why I'd forgotten she'd written it, all grim Northern hero (very Mr Rochester in the BBC series) and prim Southern vicar's daughter, suddenly thrust from her country vicarage into the 'dark Satanic' cotton mills of Manchester. They hate each other on first sight (of course). I haven't read that one but I LOVED the DVD! So did most of the female population of the UK, I believe, lol.<br /> <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/love-in-a-cold-climate-535653.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/love-in-a-cold-climate-535653.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-674062 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:31:58 +0000 linda 674062@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks jcat! I do like Victorian novels, love me some Dickens! I had seen the name of her novel North and South, and it sounds good like her others. I didn't know she was Bronte's biographer, tho. I'll be off to the library too! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/37516#post-673809 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 05:52:44 +0000 jcat 673809@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>bump for Linda. </p>
