If they ever add new categories I'd like one for historical fiction
books, I find plenty of them, of course, but a category for them would
be nice.

Well, for anyone who likes historical fiction, there is a book that will
be in the collection soon called "The Sand-Reckoner" by Gillian
Bradshaw. It's about the mathematician Archimedes, but don't worry, you
don't have to like math to enjoy it. <grin> Romance is an element of the
story but not its whole purpose. I enjoy science fiction and my favorite
SCI-Fi authors are Timothy Zahn and Isaac Asimov. Btw, for anyone who
likes puzzle mysteries, the kind that are solved intellectually, you
might like to read Asimov's mysteries, particularly his Black Widowers
series, which are very cerebral and a lot of fun. I've also enjoyed
reading Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. Btw, there's a new book in that
series, anyone feel like scanning it? For anyone who likes Star Trek I
highly recommend the Trek novels by A. C. Crispin, as well as "Vulcan's
forge" and "Vulcan's Heart" Incidentally, these are books that focus on
wonderfully well-developed characters and would be fun for non-trekkies
also. I believe all of the books I've mentioned are on Bookshare. Enjoy,
Kellie
