Our Forgotten Books Thus Far

Because people are beginning to ask if certain books have been done, I thought I'd post the first thirteen weeks on here. It'll take up some room. I've tried to make the font small.

IF ANYONE HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN, PLEASE ADVISE. Cutting and pasting sometimes leaves lines behind.

Because of the oddities of this program, it will not allow me to add omissions in any easy way so please add:


And
Todd Mason's choices for Week 10, Signal Through the Flames by Victoria Rader, The Pleasure Tube by Robert Onopa, and The Moon's Wife by A. A. Attanasio.

If I figure how to get them in the right place without completely reformatting I will do that.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do this.

Nan Higginson said...

I would love to join this prestigious group. This is gonna be fun! I'll be walking down memory lane with all these fine writers.

Thanks for this open invitation. Hope to get back soon with a specific title (that nobody else claimed yet) and a target date.

You're a great partner in crime and in blogging!

MY pleasure. I hadn't thought just what a time suck it would be but worth it.
Nan, anytime you want to do one, just fire away and send me the link. Thanks so much.

Todd Mason said...

Signal Through the Flames, Victoria Rader; The Pleasure Tube, Robert Onopa; and The Moon's Wife, A. A. Attanasio.

Terrie Farley Moran said...

Thanks, Patti, for bring the lists all together at "Forgotten Book" Central.

I know how much effort this is taking on your part and many, many readers and writers appreciate it.

Thanks, Terrie. My only problem is getting up on Fridays. For some reason, it doesn't want to post on crimespot. Oh, and finding more people to comment.
