I'm a stay at home mother of 5 lovely children. I absolutely love to read. I've learned to expand my choice of books through a book club. I've learned to enjoy many different genre's of books. The only down fall to my love of reading is that it often interrupts my sleep. Either I stay up too late unable to put a book down, or I can't sleep... more »

    Thanks Michele. I listened to The Preacher's Daughter on my i-pod. I really enjoyed it. I am planning on doing the others in that series on the i-pod as well. Once I start a series wtih audio I don't like to read it. I like to listen to the characters.
    I enjoy her books. A couple of years ago I read The Postcard. I would like to finish that series. Do you have many of her books?

    I do and you can :) The books are much cleaner than the tv show. I watched the first one and was slightly outraged by how much they changed it and didn't watch any more. I really enjoyed the books.

    i would say good luck finding it in...although it is so engrossing that it shouldn't take anyone very long to finish it!

    Cameron didn't say anything about it. I will ask him.....see what he says. I have to return it today. I have 10 overdue books and that is too many that are overdue.....it won't let me renew them. Bummer.

    Oh good. I am glad you liked it. It still sits on my nightstand. I just am overwhelmed with some other reads right now. My sisters loved it though. They have read the second book also. They said the second was good. It is just now starting to get popular in my neighborhood. I just finished The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. I could not put it down. Makes me feel glad about the parents and family I was given. Her stories of her life are mesmerizing and unbelievable. Story after story is just crazy. Have you heard about it? I am now reading One Second After. It is more disturbing. It is about a EMP attack on America. It is a real possibility.

    Not at all. Sanditon is the name of a seaside town where the novel takes place. It's all Jane Austen. Manners, misunderstandings, love and marriage. She didn't finish it but the edition I have is wonderful. Sometimes these things can be chancey but I honestly couldn't tell where Austen ended and the other lady began. I highly recommend it.

    I returned it to the library before reading it. I had it for a couple of weeks and picked it up before leaving on my trip. I happened to turn to one of the graphic parts because I thought it looked like a little more than I liked to read. That was all I needed. Glad we agree on that one.

    The book I am doing is "Howl's Moving Castle." I dont' have the author as I write this but it is on my shelf under books I have read. A really fun book and different than the ones we have been reading lately.

    Yeah, I read it to the kids and they loved it...I need to get the next one. The author came to one of my kids' schools last year. Life's good here too. We are freezing too but not to the degree you are! Yikes -25! That's brutal. Iceburg isn't even that cold this year. Adam was asking me yesterday if he can go to Ohio this summer...we meant to try to get him there last year, but things got busy, as always, and we didn't make it happen. He'd really love to come spend a week with Tyler if you are up for it. Let me know. Oh...I didn't look on your shelf to see if you have read The Hunger Games...if not you must!!

    Have you heard of Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? Stephanie Meyer said it was good and Roberta read it and LOVED it.

    Everybody keeps telling me to read Goose Girl, so I better read it. Thanks. Also, everyone says that they love her other book Princess Academy. I just found out that my sister Roberta knows her and that she lives right by Roberta!

    Thanks for picking that up for me yesterday. I just could not sneak it home with all 4 kids with me.

    I think it was the best book he has written. Of course at his book signing he said the same thing so maybe I am just feeding off of him. But I really do think it was the best of his books.

    Hey Mama,
    Yes. we are in Texas. We bought our first home just because the price was lower than renting every month. I love the house but not the yard, there is hardly any to consider a yard. what to know something funny? The previous owners 2 families back were named the Lutz. Sarah Lutz, not sure what the husband name was but they had kids.

    My heart broke when I couldn't find a way to stop in Ohio. I really wanted to see you on my way to Texas. Opps, I guess I should go to regular e-mail. Sorry!!

    Hi Michele, I was just browsing through Members and noticed you are a Mom from Ohio who reads a lot. Me too, and I like your choice of books as well. I have the same problem about staying up all night reading. Never enough sleep although I can hardly ever wait till the nightime so I can get back in bed with whatever is my favorite book that night. My husband will probably read this and think I should be saying that about him. (ha ha)

    Embarrassing, but sometimes I fall alseep reading, then slip right into a dream. The next night I pick up where I left off in the book but feel like I am missing part of the story, only to realize that part of what I think were the last few chapers were actually a dream!
