Tucked
away on a corner shelf, in a very small section I call "I know
this author!!!" is Forbidden, by Theresa Chambers. This
was published some time ago, and she now writes under the name
Theresa Dalheim. Forbidden, and her next book, Torchlight:
Book 1 of the Ninth Cycle are available as ebooks at amazon, but
I have the first as a print copy (it's all in who you know, you
know?!) Good characters, good adventure .... give them a try!
I
wasn't sure just what I would include here, since my "I know
this author" section is so small, and then I had one of those
light bulb moments ... I'll include a book recommended by this
very author! :-)
My
mind boggled at the amount of research that went in to The Book on
the Book Shelf, by Henry Petroski. Books were not always stored
and/or displayed in the way we are so familiar with today. They were
not always books as we know them, either. For a look at shelving
read this book! And don't skip the Appendix for ideas on how to
arrange them ... author? subject? title? I'll admit the ISBN order
seemed awkward to me, but arrangement by color brought back a memory
from my college days. It was finals week. There had been many
sleepless days (remember when we could do that?) One of the final
questions on a final project was how else could we arrange a library.
By color was one, but instead of the usual 'rainbow spectrum' bands
of color, we came up with plaid.
Are
you one of those who don't have an e-reader? I don't either, but
amazon has a free download of a very basic one. I have to sit at my
computer to use it, but for now I just have the one book downloaded.
