jmc_bksLibraryThing is my new favorite website. I found it originally via Rosina Lippi's blog. I added a whole bunch of books from my library -- with many more to go. I really like the widget that posts random bookcovers from your library . . . except the javascript doesn't work in Live Journal. So I've posted it to my blog over at blogspot . . . which gets very little traffic (intentionally so). According to a note at LibraryThing, they are working on a widget that will be compatible with LJ.
Short book report:
To the Tower Born by Robin Maxwell. Tale of what really happened to the two princes in the Tower, with an alternate bad guy in lieu of Richard III. Narrated alternately by Queen Bessie, sister of the two princes and wife of Henry VII (Tudor), and Nell Caxton, daughter of William Caxton, printer/publisher of books translated into English. Liked it lots, thanks to Jay who posted about it a while back. B
The Younger Man by Sarah Tucker. Published by RDI, the title and back blurb make this sound like chick lit. But it's not, it is very much Women's Fiction; the romance is a very small piece of the story; the reader spends a great deal more time with the heroine's friends, daughter, esthetician (sp?), and memories of her defunct marriage. Got the feeling that the heroine didn't really like men; she seemed to have no respect for them. I know, there is no black/white, just shades of grey, but the men in the novel were none of them particularly charming or likeable. C-.
