Hi,
I am a nurse in my thirties who has been an avid reader since childhood, I think the first series of books I read and really enjoyed was the Laura Ingless Wilder Little House collection. Since I dont have children, though I do spend alot of time with my niece and nephews, I get to enjoy alot of reading time. I like to think that I had... more »

    Sorry I was not able to get togeher for book club--I would still like to attend the next one if it is possible; I have been so busy with the boys sports, christmas, and work I hardly have time for anything! Let's try to get together soon!

    Yes, one of my favorite books ever! Don't forget you about seeing A Christmas Carol with me & the boys-we will pick a day in December.

    The boys & I are going to see The Blind Side on Thanksgiving. You will have to let me know if it is a good book-can not wait until Sunday :)

    He will love that-he did like the stink book, and there are quite a few in the series. He loves the Whimpy Kid stuff too! I know both my kids liked the Captin Underpants series, but I did not because they spell the words wrong, and I did not like that they were reading mispelled words-although they did not seem to care. I can not wait until we see New Moon-I am so obsessed!!!! I finished The Weight of Silence quickly-I really wanted to find out what happened so I kept on reading. I also started Edward Sawtelle, I hope I like it--it is long.

    They are pretty good, but I would have to say that the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books are better. The Black Lagoon books are okay too. I also like the I Spy books.

    Glad you liked it. I'm reading Eclipse now. I finished New Moon and couldn't stop. Have you read Shadow of the Wind? It was a good one.

    Lisa-Hope you are well. I loved The Last Summer of You & Me. I am reading A Seperate Peace now-which I like so far. I think my next read will be Night. Saw Michael J Fox on Oprah-very inspiring guy. Let me know how you like his book. Let's get together soon!!

    Did you see the new Michael J. Fox memoir coming out? I liked his 1st one so much and have wondered how he was doing these last 10 yrs., so, I definitely want to read the new one. Lately, I've been more into non-fiction and memoirs, I've noticed since November, my reading habits have been one Fiction, then one Non-fiction to balance out my literature repertoire. :)

    How did you like Midnight Sun?? I thought it was almost better than Twilight. Sorry we keep missing out getting together-hope we can do it next week-I would love to catch up with you!! Hope all is well; talk to you soon!
    P.S.-I am reading Testimony now and it is very good so far; The Shack was quite a disappointment.

    Happy Valentine's Day. i wish you a romantic one. Still miss you. I still haven't gotten into twilight series. have you started Angela's Ashes i have to check if its on my list its eye opening read. Looking foward to "Nights in Rodanthe" toight hoping its better than the book. Looking forward to reading "Still Alice" and the Last Lecture. dg

    Hey, I own Angela's Ashes if you want to borrow it. I read it years ago, and I didn't like it very much, it was kind of gross. I do like the author, Frank McCourt, though, I've seen shows about him touring the pubs of Ireland and he seems like a cool, old guy.

    I also have Barefoot-you will have to tell me how it is. I just picked up Testimony by Anita Shrieve, and plan to read that after The Shack-which I am having a hard time getting into. Nothing seems comparable after reading the Twilight series and it is like Harry Potter for me all over again; it took me forever to get over the ending of that too! Talk to you soon!

    Hey Lisa-hope all is going well; I missed you yesterday-maybe we can get together next week sometime-I will give you a call. How did you like Eclipse? I am reading The Shack right now-not sure how I feel about it yet. Also just read Still Alice-I think you would like it. Miss you-talk to you soon!

    Let's see...definitely The Book Thief, I Capture the Castle and Into the Wild. Hon. mention to The Power of One, cuz I'm only 3/4 way through, or else it would be 3rd.
