Dragon Queen 1 month ago

a relatively short book by a loca author, this was good in plot, and 75% good in writting style. the dialog was a little cheesy, and certain parts were a little rushed, but I enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately, I visited the library, and they had the bag of books for 1 dollar sale going, as they so often do, and while I mostly picked out books to give my mom for christmas, I did grab a few classics for my own collection… so did I buy them for myself? or were they free gift with purchase for others? ..... I am such a cheater. : )

Catch 22 2 months ago

Catch 22 is done. What a strange and interesting book. I have yet to choose another book to read, but: my mom gave me a bag full of books.

It’s becoming clear I will never finish this goal, even though I’m NOT buying books. : )

House of 1000 Candles, that is an old (1905) mystery book. It was really good. I also Read Tomorrow, which was a good book about the us being attacked by russia. I have just started Catch – 22 which I’ve had for some time and never gotten around to reading. It’s proving to be quite good.

ah, I cheated 7 months ago

The library had books for 1$ per bag. I bought some for my mom, a couple for yard sale, and 2 for myself…. but they were practically free!! that’s my defense.



Teacher's Pet 8 months ago

by Andrew Neiderman. I’ve had this for some time. A well written cheesy suspense thriller type of book. Interesting enough to be a fast read, not quite good enough to be a keeper.

a rather slow read, I’ve been working on this for a while. I probably need to start reading books I already have rather than checking them out from the library, or this will never get done.

Started reading Danielle Steel’s book “Wings” it’s the first thing I’ve read by her. It’s interesting so far.



how did I get so many? 1 year ago

People know I love to read, so I get lots of books for b-day and christmas. I know have 4 full height standard walmart styled bookcases jam packed full of books. I’ve read roughly half. In order to fit the latest books onto the shelf, I had to cull a few read books that weren’t very memorable. I have reached overflow capacity. Uh oh.
