[quote=""TLee""]I am so excited! My library was able to ILL a copy of The Greatest Knight for me. It came all the way from the state of Washington (I am in NY). Can't wait to start it tonight![/quote]
See how sucessful one can be on an ILL request? T Lee, King County Library by any chance? I am constantly amazed at how far away my ILL requests have come from, and with no shipping charges.

The Private Patient by P.D. James (mystery, not HF). Put my fine stack of library-sale acquisitions aside to read this one, as I've been looking forward to it ever since I realized taht she had a new one coming out.

Just wound up A Place Beyond Courage and Mary Balogh's An Ideal Wife -- reviews over at Epinions. Now reading Apocalypse: Earthquakes, Archaeology, and the Wrath of God, a nonfiction book that is turning out to be very interesting. Next up will probably be the third book in Lois McMaster Bujold's The Sharing Knife series.

Be sure to let me know how you like this one! I started it a while ago but stopped at around page 50. It wasn't awful I just didn't really get into it. I still have it and am planning on picking it back up someday.

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them. --Arnold Lobel
