I really enjoyed this interview with Jan. <br />Glad you liked the dust motes, Hank!Each time I read that in a book I take note.<br />Roberta -am loving Maine by Courtney Sullivan. I also loved her first book, Commencement. Tina Fey's Bossypants is also a treat. very funny. Jen Weiner's Then Came You is out next week and I'd also recommend that. <br />Rhys- I am a fan of women's fiction and memoir. I only read the books that I'm want to -and those are the ones that I feature on the show. There are exceptions every so often but I do my best to limit that as reading should be a pleasure.<br />Rosemary -I was so excited when the station started streaming the show live. I consider the show to be syndicated in my own delusional way.Everyone can listen from wherever they are and I have picked up lots of listeners from all over. If people want to hear past shows they need to login so I can see where people are joining in from. It's a great move in the right direction.<br />Deborah -oh, no -i've ruined the dust motes for all!For book suggestions see above. i also have several columns at www.golocalprov.com with my recent favorites.Enjoy!!<br />Thanks so much everyone.<br />Robinrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658580035671310508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28509082157916654542011-07-06T15:13:01.764-04:002011-07-06T15:13:01.764-04:00Robin, what a great post!

I have Kindle on my phone which I've found fun for when I'm stuck somewhere with nothing to read, and great for downloading short stories, but I haven't been tempted to buy a real e-reader.<br /><br />Such fun to hear your perspective on the books you get. (I won't be having any dust motes or people padding down the hall for a mug of steaming coffee:-))<br /><br />Would also love to hear your recent favorites.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658027347346424733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-62989041318431495002011-07-06T13:56:58.237-04:002011-07-06T13:56:58.237-04:00I'm with HP Ryan: YAY for pure escapism!I'm with HP Ryan: YAY for pure escapism!Mary Faganhttp://www.ammanontheseries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23048418566008037922011-07-06T12:01:15.608-04:002011-07-06T12:01:15.608-04:00Welcome Robin,
First off thanks for still thinking...Welcome Robin,<br />First off thanks for still thinking that books matter - as opposed to some of the other junk being spewed into the cosmos.<br />I'm curious as to how the streaming function has changed radio for you. I rarely listen to radio - on a radio - anymore, but I do listen on my computer. It's got to have increased your reach, but perhaps changed the feeling of immediacy.Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-39835136457090753512011-07-06T10:56:12.476-04:002011-07-06T10:56:12.476-04:00Hi Robin:

Do you have any favorite authors and genres?<br /><br />I have been an Edgar judge many times and I'm so happy at the end of the year when I can read what I want to again.<br />Have you learned to judge a book by sampling?Rhys Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663634889908752121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-17584694142228530522011-07-06T10:04:25.441-04:002011-07-06T10:04:25.441-04:00Hi Robin, we're so glad to have you here today...Hi Robin, we're so glad to have you here today!
