It’s late and I’m tired, but I wanted to post this before I forget. Looking at my read list, I’m kind of surprised at how much reading I got done! Was October really that long? After finishing Emma last week, I realized I only had 11 books left to read on my book list for [...]

My first introduction to Tuck Everlasting came from the movie (starring Alexis Bledel as Winnie). I think it was actucally through the movie that I heard of the book. After reading the book, I’m surprised the movie didn’t take as many liberties with the story as I originally thought it might. I think I would [...]
Is it possible?

Is it possible that I just might be able to read all the books on my list for 2009? Maybe. I just finished Emma this morning (yes, I know…finally) and am feeling good. I also finished Twenties Girl and picked The Day the Falls Stood Still this week too. Can I finish 11 books in [...]

I just finished reading Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella this morning. It wasn’t my plan to read it. I went to the library Wednesday to pick up The Day the Falls Stood Still that I had on hold (which I’m really excited about) and did some book browsing. I found it on the new books [...]

FYI – This is a long post…so you might want to go grab a drink or something. I first heard about Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born by Tina Cassidy when my husband and I were talking our childbirth class (Bradley method) before Joey was born. I jotted the title down in [...]

Banned Books Week

This last week was Banned Book Week and while I didn’t participate in any of the related challenges, I did wonder how many (if any) and what books I’ve read that were once banned? From the American Library Association (the list): The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee [...]
