Yep :) I have been keeping track of everything I have read for the past ~18 months with the Visual Bookshelf application on Facebook. But I like Shelfari better, I have decided. So I am slowly adding the books from there to my shelf on here. I can't decide if I should add them all or just what I have read in this calender year. Not that it matters but I am geeky like that and like to keep track of what I have read during specific time periods lol. I can't decide right now if I am going to stick it out with the Flying Troutmans or find some easier or lighter reading fare for the present. I am in a reading mood right now, but not sure what it is I want to read. A dilemma. Have a good weekend!
Pleased to meet & share a love of books! Blissful blessings!Jen
Wow you must have a lot of spare time to notice what I have on my shelf...thanks for the heads up
I just noticed this morning that when I added my three favourites to the favourite shelf that I didn't bother to note I own or read one of them. Gosh, how could I have a book as a fave and not have read it? Such a dolt sometimes. I should be getting in the line for some memory.I don't know that I have read as much as I did last summer.
Enjoyed your comments on "The God of Small Things". It's on my Wish List!We have some interesting books in common.Hope you are enjoying your reading this summer!
I think those are two non thriller titles. I can't say I have liked much of his work starting with Last Man Standing onward. I stopped reading until Split Second which I finished but found rather simplistic. I am reading The Camel Club (bathroom reading it ) currently and other than the Stone character and the other members of the Club I find his writing to be well, stupid. Likely he is trying to give a rah rah propaganda crap novel while attempting to have characters tell us information that enforces stereo types and an us/them mentality. It is too bad because his early books were page turners.Don't think you have [The Christmas Train on your shelf.
I would say that The Camel Club series are my favorite, before those it would have been Absolute Power. I hated Saving Faith. I have Wish You Well sitting here to be read, no reason I haven't read now that I think about it. I did read The Christmas Train, is it not on my shelf? What other book is outside the thriller genre?
ONE OF THE MOST DOWN TO EARTH AND PRACTICAL BOOKS ABOUT LEARNING TO WRITE IS: WRITING DOWN THE BONES by NATALIE GOLDBERG
Stephen King's "On Writing" is one of the best and most accessible books on writing that I am familiar with even if you are not a Stephen King fan. I highly recommend it for enjoyment and for tips on becoming a successful writer. It is often on the required books list for creative writing courses. Let me know what you think after you've looked at it.
Thanks for the note. What types of "writing" books are you interested in? As subject or method?
I still have Great Dames on my wish list. Will let you know when I've read it, which won't be for some time unfortunately. I normally read one book at a time but I'm slowly working my way through 3 books right now. Just wanted to say hi after seeing you post "Fit for Life" to your shelves since that's something we have in common.
My next plan is to go back and put the proper covers on the book shelf. Right now I am just adding them without the proper cover. It's bothering me though lol. So I shall change that in the future.
lol you caught me...yes avoiding my women's studies paperBut in addition to providing me with a procrastination tool there is another benefit here. After more than 2 years of planning to do it, this is giving me the impetus to get my books out of boxes/organize them and the spare room (my planned "office"). So its not all bad lol. I am hoping to do 50-100 books a night. Seroiusly I think I might have 3000+ books. I didnt realize I had so many. That explains why moving was such a pain in butt lol. Everything I moved was books!
well you know that I have a paper due tomorrow and so am in need of procrastinating lol. I never realized how many damn books I have! Thank you for introducing me to the site..I love it.
Hello!Thanks for the invite!
