I have #2, but I would be pleased to borrow #3 from you next time we see each other. Thanks!

Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader drove me nuts, I never finished it. I love the topics and felt she had a lot to say on the broad range of subjects but I didn't find her writing style engaging at all. I'm really glad you liked it though! The Revolution Will Not be Microwaved is much more engaging and funny if you can get a hold of it!!!

Style is one of those things that's so personal to the reader that it can't be argued with. [grin] I'll keep your recommendation in mind; thanks!

I'm about halfway through it currently and think I agree with you. I'll probably finish it because it isn't actively painful, and I expect I'd love to have the author over to tea, but I'm not enthralled with it.

Ok, now I am very curious abt Lynn Flewelling.
*runs off to hit amazon and possibly add to the Christmas wishlist....*

If you'd like, I can loan you the ones I have.

Yeah, that's what sold me on the book when flipping through in the first place. [grin]
