A Walk to Remember
Cover of A Walk to Remember Or my opinion on Nicholas Sparks Recently, I have been exploring Nicholas Sparks, on the recommendation of Goober. (Don’t shoot me, he picked he name himself.) I’ve read A Walk to Remember and A Bend i...
Book Review: The Noticer by Andy Andrews
I’ve had this little book in my possesion for some time now, but I’ve let life get in the way of reading it. That happens sometimes, yk? I picked it up last Sunday afternoon, and finished it last night. Considering how little time I am...
February 11th Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Little cheater pic I made on the 12th because I forgot to do so on the 11th. The point is that I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on the 11th. Two weeks later, I’ve finished the last two books, though I’ve not yet formed...
Irreplaceable

Booking Through Thursday and Project 365 Update
It’s a week or two later than you’d expect, and it may be almost a trite question, but … what were your favorite books from 2008? I think my favorite books from 1008 were the Harry Potter ones I read and The Reincarnationist. I also read Creat...

The American Patriot’s Almanac
I posted over on my craft blog about the crafty calendars I got for Christmas. Man, I just love those little page-a-days, don’t you? But I also love a good hard bound book, and I’ve gotten my hands on one I think will interest some of y...
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Image via Wikipedia Or, 734 pages of reading pleasure. I have to admit that I was somewhat daunted by the sheer size of this book. After all, I’ve only ever read one adult author who could hold my interest for 3/4 of a thousand pages. An...
One Fifth Avenue
Book cover via Amazon One of the great benefits of not having internet at home has been an incredible amount of reclaimed free time. If you ever wonder how much time you truly spend doing something, do without it for awhile. Your eyes may be opene...
Booking Through Thursday: The Birthday Edition
What, if any, memorable or special book have you ever gotten as a present? Birthday or otherwise. What made it so notable? The person who gave it? The book itself? The “gift aura?” You know, I have never received a book for a birthday gift as an ...
Booking Through Thursday 10/2/2008
What, in your opinion, is the best book that you haven’t liked? Mind you, I don’t mean your most-hated book–oh, no. I mean the most accomplished, skilled, well-written, impressive book that you just simply didn’t like. Like, for movies–I ca...
Booking Through Thursday 9/25/2008
What was the most unusual (for you) book you ever read? Either because the book itself was completely from out in left field somewhere, or was a genre you never read, or was the only book available on a long flight… whatever? What (not counting sch...

Autumn is starting (here in the US, anyway), and kids are heading back to school–does the changing season change your reading habits? Less time? More? Are you just in the mood for different kinds of books than you were over the summer? One thing I ...
Booking Through Thursday 8/7/2008
Are there any particular worlds in books where you’d like to live? Or where you certainly would NOT want to live? What about authors? If you were a character, who would you trust to write your life? Hmm. Yes, Heinlein’s Lazarus Long ser...
Booking Through Thursday: Last Sentences
What are your favourite final sentences from books? Is there a book that you liked specially because of its last sentence? Or a book, perhaps that you didn’t like but still remember simply because of the last line? Here I am attempting to get back ...
