The fabulous ladies at 5 Minutes for Books ask us each month which books we are reading, read recently or plan to read soonContinue reading “Nightstand: November 2011”

Children’s Classics: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe
I wasn’t sure what I was going to blog about for this month’s Children’s Classics carnival @ 5 Minutes For Books. But as I finished reading The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe last night it occurred to me that it was both a children’s book and a classic – it was simply a slightlyContinue reading “Children’s Classics: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe”
Review: Home by Julie Andrews (A Memoir)
Grade: A + I haven’t read many memoirs but every time I do, I typically think, “Memoirs are wonderful – I should read more of them.” But being non-fiction, somehow memoirs are harder for me to get through, even when I’m enjoying them – a good novel I can typically plow through in less thanContinue reading “Review: Home by Julie Andrews (A Memoir)”

Books Read in 2008
I read 47 books this year which is an average of 3.9 books per month. Of those 47 books only 2 books were non-fiction. I’d really like to read more non-fiction in 2009 – consider that a goal. I gave up on 4 books in 2008 – one of which was a non-fiction book. I’mContinue reading “Books Read in 2008”
Review: The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis
Which Chronicles of Narnia Character are you? Susan Pevensie You are Susan. Very practical and no-nonsense, though you can become less so with persuasion. Incredibly smart, you like to boast your smarts sometimes and others get annoyed. Inside though, you are just a carefree girl who wants so much to get away from the responsibilitiesContinue reading “Review: The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis”

Fall Into Reading 2008: The End
The calendar tells us that fall is over (looking out the window at snow falling onto an already ridiculously deep bed of snow, with no plans of stopping soon – that also tells me fall is over, but you know, details shmetails). That means that the Fall into Reading 2008 Challenge hosted by Kat @Continue reading “Fall Into Reading 2008: The End”
Review: Boomtown by Nowen N. Particular
Grade: D I’m a details person. When I buy a product that has clever packaging, little gems in every nook and cranny, it makes me love the product more – putting in that extra effort, to me, says you care about your product. So when a copy of Boomtown: Chang’s Famous Fireworks Factory by NowenContinue reading “Review: Boomtown by Nowen N. Particular”
