BookCrossers know all the best books

Sometime ago, a fellow BookCrosser (I believe it was [livejournal.com profile] n8an) suggested I try Alice Hoffman, saying that she was an author I would enjoy. I finally took him up on that suggestion and grabbed a random title that showed up in spouse's Half.com store. I started it last night and fell in love. The book is The Probable Future. My probable future entails finding everything this woman has ever written.

If that was indeed you, n8an, thank you most sincerely. You have expanded my horizons once again.

I'll bet it was n8an! He turned me on to Hoffman, too. I remember that he had been raving about Practical Magic, so I went and read it, and was awestruck. (CAVEAT: Do not, I repeat, NOT watch the film theoretically made from that book. It's a travesty.)

I have a couple of Alice Hoffmans around somewhere (here and at mom's). Maybe something you need? Let me know before you run out and buy more.

She is one of my very favorite authors of all time. I have several books of hers...right now I think I have "Second Nature," "Blue Diary," and "Drowning Season" and I highly recommend "The River King" (I don't have a copy of this, I read it through a bookring).

Email me if you are interested in any of these and I'll be happy to send them to you.
