I have spent the last four days doing nothing but reading books.
It all started simply enough last saturday. I have been wanting to watch the Twilight movie for a while. I’ve never read the books, and once I know there is a movie version I prefer to see that first before I read the books. I [...]

Here’s what I’ve read in the past week:

Book Review: 11-5-08
I really need to start doing these reviews weekly. They get to long to do every other week. And I’m also finding that it’s harder to remember the books that I read two weeks ago. I’ll try to do a report every Tuesday.
Nature of Daughters by Elizadeth Hetherington
This is a book about a girl named [...]

Book Reading Log
I’ve added a new page called Book Reading Log.
I started keeping a log of what I read when I bought my house in the summer of 2004. So I decided to just copy that down here as well. And it will also be nice to have a back up in case I ever spill something [...]

one step at a time
I’m on my way to get rid of the leather products in my everyday items. I now have a fabric wallet and checkbook cover, and have ordered a new purse (even though my current purse is fabric, it’s falling apart, so the “accomplishment” is that my new purse isn’t leather).
Even thought the wallet and the [...]

It started with the Harry Potter books. I decided it was time to re-read through the series [...]
