That's what happened to me at Borders. The girl said they were getting their shipment the next day or so. Of course now they have a ton of them but I wasn't waiting. LOL

Hi Kiltie! I'm in Montana, and my nearest need-it-NOW book store (like Borders or B&N) is an hour away. My darling hudband gave me a kindle for my birthday so i download my book and have them in a minute. i love it!!

Well come to V's place. We have a great time here!

— pammerjo     Sun, 11/15/2009 - 5:24pm

Pam, the Kindle sounds *perfect* for you!! I've got one, and have definitely done the wee-hours download of the next book in various series (Twilight anyone?).

I'm in San Francisco, Kiltie, and I hear you on the longing for some good, old-fashioned tangled wilderness. Though Boston is a lovely city!

Veronica

I should be receiving four of your books this week, if Amazon is on the ball.....since I'm a speedy reader I'd love to have four more ready for next week! heehee silly me I do look forward to reading them!!!

Hi Kiltie, I am from NW Indiana and I have a B and N about 20 min. from me. Here in Indiana we have corn and pigs and I am in the county with the most of both! Enjoy the forums!

I hope you like them, Kiltie!!! As for favorite history books, wow, that's a toughie. I tend to dip in and out of various books. THE FOLKLORE OF THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS by Anne Ross is good. I enjoy all the Osprey Books, though that's more for stuff like castles and military history. For my research, I've relied a lot on CV Wedgwood's MONTROSE, and David Stevenson's HIGHLAND WARRIOR. I couldn't live without FLORA CELTICA, but I got that one in Scotland--good news is, there's a web site covering it (I can track it down, if you're interested). Otherwise, I dip in and out of all sorts of books, from illustrated kids' history books (!) to dusty old tomes from the library. =)

Kiltie ElectricScotland.com has a lot of good info too! http://www.electricscotland.com/
Just plug in your info in the search box.

Veronica.....thank you, thank you!!! I found all the books at Amazon and put them on my wish list, including Flora Celtica !!!
The Osprey Books are on my fav list for now. I should have enough reading to make a dent in winter :)

Sarah....thank you, also! i googled Scottish Research but most of the results were of a medical nature. What/where is the one you mentioned?

Again, thanks ladies.....if you think of anything else you enjoy, just drop me a note....in a pinch I'll read cereal boxes and such but i much prefer books :)

Thanks, Sarah.....I completely missed those, duh....immediately headed for the 'witches'topic then to research :)

— none     Tue, 11/17/2009 - 6:54pm

I hope you like them, Kiltie! Some of those research books can be incredibly pricey, though. I highly recommend getting some of them from the library to make sure it's what you're interested in before you buy--my local library inter-library loans stuff for me all the time. :) Antonia Fraser also has a lot of stuff written, though I've only got her "Scottish Love Poems" anthology. (I mean, hey, what more does a gal need!?!)

— veronica     Fri, 11/20/2009 - 9:33am

Thanks for the poem, I really liked it. The local 42nd Highland Regiment Re-enactors are holding in January, a Robert Burns Supper. Andy and I are going to attned that.

I also have a really good book I use. It is called "The Secret os Scotland", photographs by Dennis Hardley and I found it at B and N. Another book I have that I enjoy is "The Encyclopedia of World Costume", by Doreen Yarwood.

Hi Kiltie, I'm from Empire Bay, on the Central Coast of NSW Australia and we have a mish mash, that is mountains, farmland, bushland and the ocean. If you need space it really is not far away, maybe 20mins to half an hour and all of it beautiful. But then I'm biased. I still haven't seen Lord come in, however I did enquire and I would have to order it specially for a much greater price than normal so I sent for it from the 'Book Depository' in the UK where the books are cheaper and have free delivery world wide. If any of you ladies are interested in having a look, just 'google' 'book depository' and it will bring up some sites for you. Or go here: www.bookdepository. co.uk ... I think that's the website I used. I'm having too many senior moments lately. (sigh0 LOL Gayle

— Gayle Lee     Tue, 11/24/2009 - 1:18am

Hey V, Sorry love but you don't have a section in your poll for all of the above. LOL They are all yummalicioius. Gayle

— Gayle Lee     Tue, 11/24/2009 - 2:01am

Hi Gayle.....thanks for that tip! My fav places keeps agrowin. Sounds like Empire Bay is another glorious place! I'm a wee bit west of Boston, what used to be a small town....with highways there's no such thing in MA anymore.

I have no problem getting books, just my own impatience....if I can get one for any of you ladies, just yell!!

My Amazon order with V's books finally showed up but by then I'd found 2 of the 4 elsewhere so Amazon gets those back :-P I have absolutely NO patience with incompetence...coff coff....bite your wee tongue, there's no such thing as a "senior moment'....

— none     Tue, 11/24/2009 - 8:27am

WHo won the contest about Rollo? IS it still going? Can we think of a new poll?

~Sarah~

— Sarah Hoss     Wed, 11/25/2009 - 3:39am

Christmas is coming, and I kilted Highlander under my tree would be nice!! LOL! I love the Scottish tradition of "First Footing" on New Year's Eve! Does the poll have to Scottish in theme?

~Sarah~

— Sarah Hoss     Fri, 11/27/2009 - 8:31pm

I voted as soon as I finished the books. Could have done it earlier. Even though I loved all the heroes, James had to be my favorite, absolutely, without doubt!!!

Are you listening well, James? (eg)

— none     Sun, 11/29/2009 - 9:52pm

The poll doesn't need to be Scottish in theme at all! So glad you like the gallery, Gayle! I've got a few more to add...will be doing that in the next few days. In the meantime, I hope you like LORD!!

— veronica     Mon, 11/30/2009 - 10:49pm

Oh no, you missed the cardinal rule when you signed the agreement to join this site. (All other things in your life must be put aside for the amount of time it takes you to read Veronica Wolff books!) LOL! You'll love it Gayle and don't worry about reading it slow, it just allows you to savor it longer!
