I learned to read before I turned 4, and am rarely ever found without a book nearby. I almost always have at least 3 or 4 books I'm currently in the process of reading. When I was a child, I wanted to grow up to be a librarian. It wasn't until I was older that I learned that librarians do not spend their days reading on the job. So I gave up... more »

    I just finished reading "The Silent Boy" and really enjoyed it. I don't know if that is the right word "enjoyed". but it was good. I have an autistic grandson and it made me think of him. Such a hard silent life for some of those children.

    Your little blurb up there reminds me so much of myself as a child! I would love the opportunity to homeschool my children.

    I finished Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was cute and funny, but there were too many swear words including the F word several times, so that was annoying. I still feel like I liked it though. It made me want to go shopping, but I would never shop like she does. Brands never have meant much to me, only prices.

    Hi Karina,
    What did you think of "Sarah's Key?" I saw that you have read it. Thanks!

    Hi Karina,
    I was avoiding doing what I am supposed to be doing this afternoon, so I took a few minutes to browse your shelf. You and I have very similar taste in books, so I got some great ideas and also took a few from my wish list off my shelf after reading your reviews. Thanks for taking the time to put all of your 1571 books on here!!! Have a great weekend, Carol

    I went to her website, too, and when I read that about the 5th book, I went out and bought #3. I'll probably go and buy #4 too because there are over a hundred people waiting for it on PBS.com. It's such a fun series, it's a shame that the publisher won't back the next one yet.

    BTW, I did read "The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes"--it was very compelling and hard to put down, but it was definitely a PG-13 for some language and "adult situations."

    Happy reading!
    Carol

    Malena Lott's "Dating daVinci" is now on Storycasting (www.storycasting.com), and Malena herself is soon going to come on and post a "cast" for it. Come join the fun!

    Thanks for the suggestions. We also did Snow Flower, Twilight (very lively), The Island by Victoria Hislop, A Great and Terrible Beauty. In the past we did The Road (not liked at all), Peace Like a River, Riding the Bus with My Sister. We like to do a themed lunch to go along with the book so it is more fun. Actually, this year we are not going to be affilitated with RS but just do it on our own.

    BTW, I love your picture! :-) What a cutie.

    Thanks for letting me know. We are getting started for the year and I'm trying to come up with some interesting books to suggest. I guess I'll pass on this one! Have a great weekend, Carol

    Hi Karina,
    I noticed that you finished The Widow's War and I read your review. Worth reading or not? And would it be suitable for book club?

    No, I was online at the same time you were. Awhile ago Chris S. told me about a book with this subject (not sure if it is the same one or not!) When I saw your page, I was reminded that I wanted to read it. Great minds think alike? or is it crazy minds?

    I don't think that it is possible to read to much.

    Karina, How can a book by Joan Aiken be a sequel to a book by Jane Austen? Just wondering!
