I'm a 27-year-old SAHM to my two little princesses. I don't have much time to sit and read nonstop these days, but it's something I try to do for myself at least once a day. I've loved reading for as long as I can remember. I love all genres. As long as there is a captivating story and interesting characters, I am there. Most recently, I've...more »

    I am the Moon everywhere and nowhere.
    Do not seek me outside;
    I abide in your very life.
    Everybody calls you towards himself;
    I invite you nowhere except to yourself.
    Poetry is like the boat and its meaning is like the sea:
    Come onboard at once!
    Let me sail this boat!

    Hi, I just posted a very special interview with Juile Lessman, author of "A Passion Most Pure". She is giving away a copy of her book if you leave a comment on my blog. Check it out www.psalm516.blogspot.com. She'll be giving the book away next week.

    I know what you mean about sexual scenes. I hate it when a book has to go into detail on that kind of thing. I was reading a book called The Reincarnationist recently, and there was a very vivid(and corny)sex scene. I actually stopped reading the book. I don't know. It just turned me off to the whole thing, and it had been interesting before that scene.

    Hey, I see you've read Water for Elephants. This book was suggested to a friend of mine, and I looked it up...but I don't know if it is the book for me. Is there a lot about animal abuse/neglect? What about it made it crude? Should I read it? I'm really unsure about it, and I don't want to read something that makes me feel all weird inside(That sounds lame, but do you know what I mean?).

    I fully plan on writing reviews...very soon! I only found this site because of the shelf on your myspace profile. I looove it! I'm having a bit of a difficult time remembering books that I've read in the past 10 years or so, but I seem to remember every book I ever read growing up. Strange. Anyway, this site rocks my socks! I can't wait to go through your shelf:D

    Hello, I am Ben, I just joint the King Arthur group. I have enjoyed browsing your shelf. I have added the Jack Whyte books to my wish list. I had read his Knights of the Black and White, and I will get his next book in that series. I enjoyed his writing style.

    How do you like PILLARS OF THE EARTH so far? I'm about halfway through, and as I am a relatively slow reader, it's taking me awhile. I like it, but so far I'm not sure what all of the hype is about.

    I loved it, I had the hardest time putting it down! I haven't seen the movie yet, it hasn't made it to the theaters here, but I've heard it wasn't as good as the book.

    Thanks for accepting my invitation. I will enjoy your bookshelf. I love anything by Francine Rivers, and "Captivating" is not only one of my all-time favorites, but the most helpful book I have ever read. A MUST READ for women, and for the men who love them. I'm reading "Wild At Heart" next to understand my man!
