Literary Listography: My Reading Life in Lists.   I found this book on Amazon about a year ago and thought I'd try it out.  First off, I LOVE getting packages in the mail!  Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves receiving letters/packages?  There's something very old-fashioned (can you believe that sending mail has become OLD FASHIONED?) about it that causes me to think back to Elizabeth Gaskell and Jane Austen days. So, what is this book and how does it work?  Please, let me explain (couldn't help but say that in Inigo Montoya's voice from the Princess Bride).  The book contains many, many lists and each list has a title, such as Books That Made Me Cry, Fictional Characters I Would Not Get Along With (not gonna lie, I'm enjoying this one) , and Favorite Literary Lovebirds.   You're given a certain number of lines to record these books on and that's pretty much it.  While it may sound boring, it's actually quite entertaining. It...

I simply couldn't help myself.  I just had to copy the questions from Heidi's blog and post my own answers.  Please don't dislike me for it! The "game" is a bunch of questions about books that you fill in with your own answers...simple enough, right?  Not so much for a book-lover like myself. :p 1. What was the last book you read, and would you recommend it? Believe it or not, but the last books I read where actually children's books!  They were by Max Lucado and the names were With You All the Way, and Because I Love You.   I was helping my sister-law with a few things (one was my precious niece) and when I had a free moment, I picked up both books and read them - they are simply wonderful!  The messages are powerful; the adventures griping, and even though they're written for children, I was convicted and caught up in every word and every page!  So yes, I would most definitely recommend them! :) 2. Describe the perfect r...

Books.  Reading.  Blogging.  Three of my (many) favorite things to do!  I saw  this  post by my dear blogging friend, Heidi and thoroughly enjoyed reading her answers to these extremely fun questions!  So seeing as how I love anything that has to do with books, I thought I'd give this a try. :) Side note: I wanted to post this a while a go, but I've been busier than normal...so that has had me delayed a few days. There were 2 rules: 1. The book(s) you answer with must be from your bookshelf. 2. Also, if you could include a picture of your own bookshelf, that'd be great!  If not, no worries, my dearies! The Bookshelf Tag~ Describe your bookshelf (or wherever it is you keep your books-it doesn't actually have to be a shelf!) and where you got it from: My bookshelf is really a pile of books. I mean I do have a bookshelf, but it's not set up (in the process of moving some things around).  Because it isn't right by my bed, I like...

Heidi,  I love this idea and the answers you put down.  I do hope you don't think I'm coping you! Okay, so the idea of this post is to share the top ten books from your childhood that you'd love to go back to and visit. :) My Top Ten are: 1. Henry and the Great Society by H. L. Roush - my mother and father read this book to us when we were little and we loved it!  Then as I became older, I deiced to read it to my younger sisters as a part of homeschooling - they loved it and begged us not to stop reading!  But not only is it a good story, the message is even better. 2. The Chronicles of Narnia by none other than C.S. Lewis - need I say more?  These books taught me how to use my imagination and take joy in the adventure! 3. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder - something about these stories filled me with such happiness and wonder!  Confession:  I wanted to marry Pa Ingalls.  There was something wonderful ...
