Because Sarah P. asked me to, here goes a book review. I apologize for format and such since I’ve never done a professional book review. Here are my thoughts on the book (warning: spoilers): In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, two central characters, “The man” and “The boy,” are followed as they attempt to survive [...]

I haven’t gone away…I just haven’t posted in awhile. I’ve only read a few books since my last post. The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which I highly recommend if you’re into that sort of thing (post-apocalyptic struggles and imperfect writing style) and I began The Book Thief, which I’ve yet to find time to finish. [...]

I know I haven’t blogged in awhile but I’ve been reading a lot lately. I’ve really found enjoyment in it, especially since right now there is nothing on TV and MK has been doing homework in the evenings (I don’t feel like I’m neglecting him or ignoring him when he’s also busy reading his own [...]
1001 Books to Read Before You Die
Posted in reading, tagged books, movies based on books on August 7, 2008 | 3 Comments »
There is a list of books on this site that are suggest for every person to read before they die. I know I will never read them all and frankly, some of them look like crap. But I’d like to hear any thought on these. Which ones have you read? Did you like them? Are [...]

Bookfinds is giving away signed copies of a new book titled Sisters of Misery. Read the blog entry…sounds like my kind of book! I also mentioned this on my other blog in case you don’t read that one. In other book news, 5 Minutes For Books is starting a Classics Bookclub online. August’s book is Pride and [...]

I found this cool site called DailyLit that will deliver books into your inbox. I found it from another blog I read Playing on the Point. We are all so used to reading emails that by the time we go home for the day, we’re spent. So, this is a cool way to receive excerpts [...]
Long Time, No Write

Okay, so I have not posted in a WHILE. I have been busy to say the least. I’ve started a new Bible study called Get Uncomfortable. I’ve basically abandoned the Beth Moore study, which is sad because I really liked it. It was just very intensive and hard to do every day. At this point, [...]
Book Updates

Well, I’m still reading Wicked. The beef I have about this book is that the chapters are VERY long, so there are few stopping points. There are extra breaks in the paragraphs when a “section” is over (if you can call it a section), so at least there are some places to stop. But it’s [...]
I haven’t been reading as many books lately and have actually taken a hiatus from Wicked because I have been reading my Bible every day. I began in the Book of Acts, mainly because it’s probably the book I have read the least. I think it’s the book I’ve read the least because it doesn’t [...]
