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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for Amish fiction. As you can tell, from time to time, I step off the beaten path (aka, my book list for the year) and devour a few Amish fiction novels. For awhile I’ve had When the Heart Cries by Cindy Woodsmall on my PaperBack Swap [...]

I can’t believe we’ve already been gone for two weeks! I didn’t expect our time to pass so quickly. We still have the rest of July before we get to Louisville, but time sure is flying by! Here’s some book related links I enjoyed this week and wanted to pass on: The 50 Books of [...]

Books I Should Have Read, But Haven’t
Posted in books, tagged books, to read on May 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Sometimes I wonder how I made it through school without having read these (some more than others), but I did. I guess you can’t read everything! A few of these I’ve read abridged verisons or excerpts, but I hope to read these “one day.” For now…it’s a list. Bradbury, Ray. Fahrenheit 451. Cather, Willa. My [...]
Loving Paperback Swap

I love to see the little brown envelopes, slightly battered and torn, arriving in my mailbox. Why? Because it means I have a new book to read! The best part is that it’s free–well, nearly free. It’s so exciting. It’s like a little sweet treat for me, but it’s a book. Maybe a little strange [...]
