What a great list. Love how you said they're books you could walk into telephone poles reading!

I grew up in a house at the end of a long dirt lane and I was always the last one of the family to make it home when the school bus dropped us off.

Isn't that what the best ones do -- plunge us so deeply into the story that everything else fades away? Thanks for the reminder.

I'm actually in the middle and got interrupted by life but shall return to it as soon as I get back to the library!<br /><br />I started it right after having a talk with CPY about issues in my WIP and in the early stages I found a sentence that revealed to me what my character was lacking - soul! I hope to blog about this soon - if life slows down enough.<br /><br />Abilene sort of reminds me of Ann Fay Honeycutt - the "longing after father" part of her, anyway!Joyce Moyer Hostetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153114928220349251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524422010346970111.post-24728733091019173182011-05-16T11:22:34.484-04:002011-05-16T11:22:34.484-04:00I enjoyed this novel very much and noticed that th...I enjoyed this novel very much and noticed that the book has the same editor as HATTIE BIG SKY.

That is how I see my writing as well...a detailed painting full of light and shadow and texture. Historical subjects give me so much to draw from that i have to be careful not to get lost in the research for too long.<br /><br />Congratulations, Clare!Ghost Girl (aka, Mary Ann)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10104992485564788542noreply@blogger.com
