Mark of the Lion ser...The Goose Girl (Shannon Hale)<br />Mark of the Lion series (if you haven't read it, you MUST)<br />Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology (Eric Brende). I cannot begin to tell you how DRY the title sounds, but how INCREDIBLY thought provoking, intriguing, and endearing the book is in reality. It is soooo good. And any true bibliophile will be STUMPED by Mr. Brende's vast vocabulary in a most stimulating way. Have a dictionary handy (better yet, use some of his words on others and see if THEY know the meaning of them.)4Me2Knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899027403245720696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689215511584180257.post-82418407493322110142014-01-08T12:29:10.570-06:002014-01-08T12:29:10.570-06:00Hello, Bev. I came over from Heather's "...Hello, Bev. I came over from Heather's "Beauty That Moves" blog.<br /><br />Ahhhhhh reading. I love it. And since I'm "olden," I have lots of time for it. :-)<br /><br />I tried to read lots in 2013. Reached about 73. I keep a Page on my blog, listing "Books Read in 2013." And just began another, for this year. <br /><br />My list is not really graded. Personally, I always have a hard time grading a book. Oh I know when a book is SUPER, and can say that. But less than SUPER, to me, and I worry that I'm being too hard on the author. -grin-<br /><br />Do stay warm! You are in the "real cold" and make me feel hardly cold, by comparison. <br /><br />Wishing you happiness and health, in 2014.<br /><br />Tessa~<br />(Upper NYS in the US)<br /><i><a href="http://heretherebemusing.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">"Here there be musing"</a></i> blogTessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689215511584180257.post-75853640259549142014-01-06T20:00:27.026-06:002014-01-06T20:00:27.026-06:00My kids and I LOVED 'Carry on, Mr. Bowditch.&#...My kids and I LOVED 'Carry on, Mr. Bowditch.'

First King book...Thanks for the 52 Books plug, Bev. First King book, huh? I grew up reading him (yes, I had issues). Here are my favorites of late:<br /><br />Glass Castles - a true story of a young girl growing up with the most disfunctional parents one can imagine. No abuse, just extreme neglect. It's really a story of the amazing resourcefulness and tenacity of even the smallest childrren.<br /><br />Cold Sassy Tree - set in 1910 Georgia. Some of the richest characters I've ever read. <br /><br />A Grown Up Kind of Pretty - A new author for me. Her southern fiction is one of a kind. Love the characters.<br /><br />Happy reading! Hope to see you around the 52 Books facebook or web page.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689215511584180257.post-62455534925321608052014-01-05T14:23:13.281-06:002014-01-05T14:23:13.281-06:00Not fiction, but I think you might like Trim, Heal...Not fiction, but I think you might like Trim, Healthy Mama based on your previous post on food and health. It reminds me of something you would enjoy. I'm a reader. I go to the library and peruse the new fiction shelves for paperbacks. Then I look for Christian fiction amongst the paperbacks. That's where I usually find it although it has gotten harder recently. Not as many selections, and much less quality stuff. Plus, lots of Amish fiction which isn't my thing. I'm Mennonite. Reading about Amish is closer to home than I want to be! :)Beth in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702179612923382436noreply@blogger.com
