    I think we are both reading the same issue of Library Journal! I was reading the Reader's Shelf this morning. When I went to add "American Pie" to my shelf, I saw you just added it! You also added "Ride of Our Lives" from the same article. Following in your literary footsteps!

    Who knew I would ever have three books on my "reading" shelf that were written by men! Not a female author in sight. I've come a long way, baby!

    Thanks! I was glad to finish it so early this year!

    My favorites from my challenge that I wouldn't have read otherwise are Sweet and Twenty, Mr. Ding's Chicken Feet, East of Eden, and White House Chef. I appreciated reading Dracula even though I did not love it.

    What were your favorite books of 2010?

    I don't know if the steampunk genre is my thing, but I suppose I'll give it a whirl...maybe during X-mas break.

    Did you know that Nancy Pearl has written a book that is PERFECT for you??! Book Lust to Go: Recommended Reading for Travelers, Vagabonds, and Dreamers looks great. I read the first three sections on Amazon's "Look Inside" feature. Also, when I looked at the index, I found two out of the five travel books you recommended to me: Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven & Honorable Bandit!

    I ordered a copy of Mr Pip for myself on Paperback Swap. It's sitting on my library table waiting to be read. I finished East of Eden last night and I did really enjoy it. So different than the movie. I was surprised by it. I never would have read it if not for Kathe's challenge!

    Hi Buddy! How are you? I saw that you got on Shelfari just now, so I thought I would say hi. I am at HCC, as you probably realize. I hope you and your mom are doing well. I see that you finished Soulless. It is so good! I have the 2nd one at home. I sent you a little something. I hope you get it before your return to IL!

    Hi Buddy~

    I'm glad you're enjoying Artistic License! I'm reading East of Eden and loving it! I can't put it down. I'm really amazed by it! Thanks for letting me know about the new C.S. Harris. I put it on my "To Read" shelf.

    Check out my review of "Parenting with Love & Logic," and the tags. And don't forget to add "Girl in a Cage," by Jane Yolen and Robert Harris to your to read list ;)

    I'm trying! Never enough time, though! I'm listening to one now that is an odd combination of historical fiction and fantasy set in England during Cromwell's time. It's called I, Coriander. I started it once but didn't like it. Then, I read a review that said the narrator was strong and although it started slow, it got better. The reviewer was right! I miss talking books with my buddy!

    I even put the sequel on my to-read list! I only have one more of Marisa's challenge books to read. I think I will read Serving Crazy with Curry or Life of Pi.

    I didn't get the book recommendation you sent. Hmm...where might that have gone? Is "She" your book recommendation? :)
