Here's her image for the six geese a-laying. Isn't it sweet?
My Christmas books came from the library though. I recently found a list on someone's blog of books she'd read in 2010 and from some of the titles I knew that she had similar taste in authors. This was a great opportunity for me to do a search for some of the titles at my local library.
Maybe I overdid it though because ten of them came in at once. So this is what my pile of Christmas reading looks like today.
I am so grateful for our public library. It has just about any title I search for. Sometimes there's a long waiting list for popular new books but eventually my name comes up. I don't know what I'd do without it as I'm an avid reader and consume several books a week, often dipping into two or three at a time. I think for 2011 I'll add a reading list to this blog. Should it be all the books I've read or just those I particularly enjoyed? What do you think?
I miss my library! I read like you much of the time. Too expensive to buy all those books. I love your idea of the reading list.
ReplyDeletejoanna - i read one book online and two or three books a month during the school year. that usually climbs to half a dozen books a month during the summer. i like to read what people think of books so i can make a more informed choice as i usually buy my books. i am thinking of getting a library card though!! steven
ReplyDeleteGreat idea of the reading list.
ReplyDeleteI put out every Christmas many of the books I collected for the Holidays from Winters Gift, The Blessing of The Beasts, The Fourth Wise Man to A Charlie Browns Christmas. It is so enjoyable to reread them.

I just came home from the library! I bring magazines back home - Yoga Journal and Dwell. I read on a Kindle. I think you should tell us good, bad, and indifferent about the books you read. I like knowing what other's think of the books they're reading. (The Girl Who Chased the Moon is an interesting title...)
ReplyDeleteI love the library too and am so grateful for being able to reserve books even if it takes a while. I see some of my favorites in your pile.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I have read all of those except for the Stuart McLean. Please let me know what you think. I didn't really like the Sloane Crosley (listened to it).
