favorite posts?
If you have a favorite post or posts, could you comment and say which one(s)? I could make a list based on hits, but that doesn't feel quite right.
It has been a hectic weekend, but I hope to have more to post about tomorrow.
Oh and: a few people have posted general comments about the Wilderness books in the comments recently. Which is fine; I like to hear from readers, in whatever format. Bruce (or maybe his wife; it was unclear) just posted that s/he was disconcerted by the lack of a clear antagonist in Fire Along the Sky. It's an interesting observation, and makes me wonder if other people had this same feeling.
I am always fascinated by the posts which give a little more info/clear up what I'm assuming happened in the books. -Learning rabies took Dolly's life and things like that.
I enjoy family stories, as your husband sounds similar to mine and stories about the Girlchild prepare me for the future since my kids are younger. I also like hearing your observations on life and the way you see it. I am not always into book reviews, but that is solely because my stack of TBR books is large and I keep getting more behind!
Keep up the great work, I'll still be checking in.
I enjoy hearing about your work, your struggles with keeping on task, your research methods. I enjoy the movie and book reviews. Thus far from reading and watching things you suggest I have learned that our tastes are simular (Grey's Anatomy fanatic!). Just like Soup I love learning little tidbits such as the details behind Dolly's death. I can't give you a specific blog but I will look them over in the morning. Grey's is about to come on!
I like your craft posts. The series on sex was great.
1. The trials and tribulations that you go through writing.
2. The book reviews, most especially the long list of authors that you published about a year ago.
3. The BAT story.
My all-time favorite post is the one you wrote about your dad and the magazine subscriptions. Hilarious. And vivid.
I'm also always interested to see what books you like. You got me started reading "Niccolo Rising," and I'm now on a mission to buy all of Dorothy Dunnett's out-of-print books. (I, however, liked the Lymond Chronicles maybe a little bit more than Niccolo. But only a little. Both series are super fabulous.)
I guess chatty things you post are more interesting to me than author-ish things you post. I'm not a writer, will never be a writer, and have no desire to be a writer. But I've admired your writing very much, and starting checking our your blog because I was interested in what the person who wrote the books might be like. And if you can momentaritly repress your nun-innoculated tendencies to be self-effacing, I have to tell you that you're pretty cool.
