Hi Grandma Cindy,
I just wanted to take a second to say that I used to think I was the only
one who'd watch shows over the phone with a friend. Thank you for
re-establishing my belief in my sanity. <Grin>

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] clarification
There are still messages in my mail, including requests for additions to the
wish list, but I must go now and eat and settle in for the finale of
Survivor--one of my guilty pleasures--and I talk with my S.F. daughter in
commercials; we watch together. Aren't phones wonderful?
But I do want to clarify my personal comments and synopses on the list I
send out. What I do is take the Browse New Books and edit that, deleting
repetitions like Language: English and the BRF/Daidy/membership required
lines, since that is all that is on the list. Then I indicate whether the
book is fiction or nonfiction, because someone asked me to, and I have added
reading age level for children and young adult if I can find them. Also,
when there is no synopsis except See Long Synopsis or Christian Mystery or
Christian romance or, as has been the case lately, excerpts from reviews
that are evaluative--usually raves--and not synopses, I try to find a
synopsis and add that, and also send it to Allison so she can replace what
shouldn't be there with a short synopsis.
I have also, on a couple of occasions, added my editorial comments,
hesitantly. That's what was on the Milk Case book, because, unlike Ann,
although I did google, I couldn't find one. I guess I didn't check the list
that came up far enough or didn't put in the right things.
I'm really annoyed with Project Details or Publisher's ratings; sometimes
the ar excellent but sometimes I know they are way off--baby to preK for a
book I know is no way for that age group. What are those people thinking?
But I do try to keep my personal comments to a minimum. However, since it is
an informal list, I do, as I say, sometimes add a comment such as a personal
recommendation if I've read the book and really like it.
So rest assured that anything in parentheses or that is on the line next to
Fiction/Nonfiction is not part of what is in the collection--though I think
age-range information would be useful to parents, and the category of
juvenile literature between children and young adult also would be useful.
G.Cindy
