Then they live on the shelf till they remind me to say Hi again and we pick up the conversation. There's way too many keepers to list though--we have a lot of bookshelves and they're all full.<br /><br />sdeeth at msn dot comSheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-311385681309455380.post-20017645288968710042011-02-09T17:51:33.423-06:002011-02-09T17:51:33.423-06:00I rarely re-read a book.

However, ther is one particular series that I keep, and read every other year or so. That is Karin Lowachee's Warchild series - Warchild, Burndive, and Cagebird. These stories stay with me. There are a few others like The Loard of The Rings, etc. I also hang onto the books I have that are signed by the author, I won't give them up.lingeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923312391523227808noreply@blogger.com
