Hi I'm Aria and I am a hopeless book addict!

I have been married for eight amazing years and I am the mother to four kids who range from 7 to 6 months old. I am a stay at home mom, a professional face painter, and an ameture classical singer. I have been almost constantly stuck in a book ever since I first learned to read in the 1st... more »

    Thank you so much for the recommendation! I'll definitely add the Sevenwaters Trilogy to my to-read list!

    I'm so glad you liked it. I feel like I haven't read may great books this year, but that one is definitely an exception.

    I was wondering if it did. I know there are a lot of books that are tagged as chick lit that aren't really chick lit, so I was kind of wondering. I think I'll definitely post something about it. I'm about half way through A Countess Below Stairs and I'm enjoying it as well. I was going to read The Devil Wears Prada for my chick lit tag, so maybe, I'll just post about all three! :)

    Yeah, it was great! Thanks for recommending it. I'm really excited to read A Countess Below Stairs now since you said it's even better!

    Good point. I did actually end up reading Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss because it's one of my favorite books. It was a fun read. :)

    I love that you participate in the book tag group. You do better at it than I do, though, because you actually finish the books. ;) I'm almost done with October's tag. I'm not sure if I'm going to participate in November's though. I have two many books that I need to read because they came available at the library. Three out of the four books I was on a list for all came available at once. Yippee! Hopefully, I can finish them.

    I actually own it, but I haven't read it yet. I know that mom's ward's book club just read that series. Most of them said that they really liked the first and third, but the second wasn't as good. I'll have to add that to my lineup. I'm still plugging through Eldest, and my hold on Brisingr just came in. Then I need to read A Thousand Splendid Suns for my book club! It's sad when your book to-do list is just as long and pressing as your house to-do list!

    Howdy! Thought I'd drop a line since I'm here! You'll have to remind me of you "other name" so I can find you! I just read all of The Corinthian (again) in one day... pretty much one sitting! The impressive part is that I didn't neglect my kids, I still made dinner and I'm going to bed before midnight! How'd I manage that??? That book sure cracks me up! Ryan had to put up with me giggling all evening! But that was OK since he is still sitting there engrossed in Brisingr!

    So I finally joined Shelfari, thanks to gentle nudging from you, Sprty, and Shopping w/Alice. Now Alcyone and I are having a contest to see who can add the most books they have read to their shelves, I know we are silly. Anyway, you were talking to me about a book that I needed to read the other day, could you tell me the title again? I forgot.

    HI, how was Disneyland? I hope that you had fun. I thought about you. I think the books I told you about the the Meg Cabot books. There are two series of hers that I have read. The first one is the Boy next door series. The third book in that series is my favorite. The second series is the Queen of Babble and the second book in that series is my favorite. They are really easy lite reads. I have been reading a book that Rachel told me about this week called A tree grows in Brooklyn. It is really good to.

    Talk to you soon,
    Michelle A

    I don't know how you missed me. Perhaps I'm just stealthy? Well, probably not, but I'm glad you found me!

    You won't see me then. I'll be at the King's English release. Have you read any good books recently?

    I've been reading a lot lately. I just haven't been on here to update it. I read both of the Blue Bloods books & I'm on the 2nd Vampire Academy, I finished the 1st one earlier. I'm definitely excited to have Breaking Dawn in my hands. Are you going to a midnight release?

    Have you noticed, since they switched to the new format here that everything didn't transfer perfectly? I found books on my shelf that I know I've never read and I didn't put there (like Shakespeare for dummies or something equally appalling!) And some books I know that I added are gone! Grr. Annoying.
