Hi Margot

Thanks for mentioning STAR GAZING on your blog. (I’m the author.) It’s interesting the way the cover gets mixed reactions. It was re-done at the eleventh hour and I was very disappointed when I saw the new one but readers seem to have really liked it. (Authors have no say in their covers, even if they hate them.)

Good luck with pruning the TBR list. I always say to readers, buying too many books is a *good* thing. Think of it as patronage of the arts. Authors need to eat.

I agree with you … book blogging has caused my TBR pile to grow far beyond what I can reasonably expect to acquire!!! Thank goodness for the swap sites! I’m at the point where I have to see at least 3 things about a book to make me add it to the list! Otherwise, it is easy to get out of control! That said, “Stargazing” sounds really interesting … and the cover is lovely!

So is the Ministry is Murder preachy or overly religious? I love trying out series…but tend to stay away from the overly religious stuff…

I haven’t seen the Ministry is Murder series. That looks like something I would really like. I have also read two more books by Gillard (reviews coming up). Every book is very different from the other. Apparently, this gives publishers a headache because they want to promote her as a certain genre.

Anyway, I love the title “Blessed is the Busybody.” I’ll put that down on one of my little notepads all over that help make my house such a mess! Thanks for the book referrals and reference to my review!

I remember Star Gazing because of the cover. Yesterday I checked to see if they had any of the Ministry series on cd – going on a trip tomorrow – but they didn’t ;(

These both look good. I saw the one from Stacy’s blog, but I somehow missed Star Gazing from Margaret’s. Thanks!

I saw that book on Stacy’s blog too and thought it looked good. I’m going to check out Books Please right now.
