April 9 -- Ex Libris Mindy & Some Good Reads

Okay--I forgot to get the camera out earlier on in the day and just as the sun was going down I remembered I needed to take a picture. With little natural light I had to get creative and here it is...what is sitting on my nightstand. I went to my sister's house last weekend and borrowed a bunch of books from the Mindy Library. She loves to read and because the library system by her house is practically non-existent she is getting quite the collection of books. The Jane Austen book is mine and I finished "Pride & Prejudice" for the 1st time a few months ago--it was excellent. I just finished "Speak" a few days ago a somewhat dark, yet funny look at life during high school. Now I'm starting "These Is My Words." I do love to read. It is a great escape and nothing is better than a book that draws you in so much the laundry doesn't get done, dinner is pizza or cereal, and you try to prop it open while blow drying your hair. What are you reading? What are your favorite books?

Hee, hee! It makes me so happy to see pictures of books, especially when they are mine! :) I loved, LOVED "Speak" and "These Is My Words". They are both right up there as some of my favorites. I think every parent that has a soon-to-be teenager should read "Speak". And I think that "These Is My Words" is like "Little House" on steroids. So, so good.
I am reading "Tarzan of the Apes" right now, and am actually loving it. I thought it would be a slog but it has been fantastic. Great high adventure, and I bet Tarzan was HOT. Some books are classics for a reason.
