She is an excellent author and because Anna's a NPS ranger, I have visited some of the parks she writes about so it's neat to envision those places while I'm reading her books. You can find all of her titles listed here:<BR/>http://www.iblist.com/author1150.htmRuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-92046880730309684172008-12-24T16:49:00.000-05:002008-12-24T16:49:00.000-05:00Larry, I enjoyed your book reviews.

And the other two I will add to my wish list, and possibly consider buying the Nevada Barr book as a belated Christmas gift for my son.

You're in my old stomping grounds--I lived in Salem, Hadlyme and Lyme CT for 10 years. I was just back in October and it was so sweet to walk the woods at Burnham Brook Preserve. Thanks very much for this kind endorsement.

Maybe it could have used a little more character development.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-87573636759092050242008-12-23T22:57:00.000-05:002008-12-23T22:57:00.000-05:00Larry, I have Julie's book and have re-read it...i...Larry, I have Julie's book and have re-read it...it's wonderfully written and illustrated.<BR/><BR/>I'll need to check out the others.<BR/><BR/>Have a Merry Christmas, Larry.<BR/><BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-54414240269947484422008-12-23T14:16:00.000-05:002008-12-23T14:16:00.000-05:00"Letters from Eden" sounds very interest..."Letters from Eden" sounds very interesting.
