I'm married, mom to teenage twin girls and love to read. In fact, both my husband and my girls love to read too and the dog would probably read too--if it was possible. Reading is like breathing--I must do it. In fact, I get cranky when I don't get to read much. As you can tell from my shelf, I'll read just about any genre. In fact, I've been... more »

    I believe you are right. I forgot about The Cruelest Miles. I think the Great Serum Race is about Diptheria.
    I think I will read The Cruelest Miles.
    Another really good book is Icebound. You may like that one.
    Happy Reading!

    Hi Colleen,
    I saw somewhere you wanted to know the name of an Alaska book.
    I think The Great Serum Race might be the one you were thinking of.
    I hope it helps.

    Sorry I wasn't a better partner. :( I didn't expect to be so busy! I still haven't finished my Italy book and I feel awful about it!

    The girls started Monday, but only had to stay for two hours. I had to stay with them for orientation, so it wasn't bad. They were off Tuesday and today, but go a full day tomorrow. They're doing kindergarten testing, so only five kids per class go a day until the testing is done. Tomorrow is their testing day and then they won't go back until Tuesday. Then it will be full time.

    I'm okay with Italy. Sorry I just got home. I've got a lot of catching up to do!

    Hey there! Just letting you know that I'm going out of town until Sunday. I may have internet access at my stepmother's house, so hopefully I'll be able to at least check in.

    I just posted my review for my Africa book. I'm going to try to go back and finish up my second books for some of the other legs now.

    We just got back. 105 degrees yesterday! No rain though, but it's supposed to start raining today and rain all week. We left right in time. :)

    My girls start kindergarten on Monday. Where does the time go?

    LOL! I totally know what you mean! My profile pic was taken in May, so I think I still have a couple of months before I'm forced to update!

    I'm off to the beach, so I'll talk to you again on Tuesday! I'm taking my Africa book. Hopefully, when we stop in to visit my nephew, I jump on his computer real quick and find out when the next leg starts!

    If you don't mind, I would rather start with Africa. I may have to go to the library and get a shorter book for Ireland when I get back from the beach because mine is around 600 pages.

    I'm getting ready to go review my America book now.

    As for Africa and Ireland, my Africa book is much shorter. That didn't work out so well with the France tag though. ;) It's the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, so hopefully it won't be so bad.

    I will hopefully finish my America book tonight. ***Fingers crossed***

    Do you know which tag you'd like to read for the next round?

    I finally got my France review posted tonight and have started my America book.

    This evening starts my vacation, so hopefully I'll have more time to read for the next ten days! I must let you know though that I'm leaving for the beach Sunday. Monday should be the only day that I won't have internet access. I should be able to work around that.

    She's doing much better. It seems like it was one of those 24 hour things. My America book is around 250 pages or so, so I don't mind doing that one. I'm glad you don't wanna shoot me for slowing us down! :)

    I'm trying. Even though this book was shorter, it's not an easy read. I'm at work, so I won't get to start on it again until this evening. I've only got about 60 pages left, so I should be able to finish this evening. I wanted to finish it last night, but around 10:30, I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. (I've had a sick child and we've been staying up a lot at night) Sorry I've held us up this time! You can do Scotland if you want and you think it will move faster. I have a Bill Bryson book tagged America that should move pretty quickly.
