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. ;-)
