I love wandering into the library, looking at the "Just in" section and unexpectedly finding a book that just blows me away.<BR/><BR/>Hasn't happened in awhile, but I don't give up.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-46416827617406297842008-02-02T18:21:00.000-05:002008-02-02T18:21:00.000-05:00I loved the Lovely Bones.

But isn't it nice to stumble upon a good book every once is a while instead of the same old crap! i think so.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605108148458947613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-89975691520246407702008-01-29T07:25:00.000-05:002008-01-29T07:25:00.000-05:00I hope to finish writing about the rest of the boo...I hope to finish writing about the rest of the books soon. I'm glad I'm doing this because in one of the Ravelry groups I belong to, they were talking about "Gone with the Wind" and I mentioned "The Wind Done Gone"...and I remember reading it but don't have the faintest idea what it was about. I looked it up online, still doesn't ring a bell. But I know for a fact that I read it...I remember reading it during lunch however many years ago it was.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, definitely check out Anita Shreve. Now that I've finished all of her books, I'm eagerly anticipating whatever she puts out next!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-8350044458213323322008-01-27T02:25:00.000-05:002008-01-27T02:25:00.000-05:00Wow, I was just blown away by the three hour commu...Wow, I was just blown away by the three hour commute! I can't stand to drive 10 minutes to the main road here! (Country roads just kill me). But doing it by train must be a big help. I'd probably go more places if I had a driver! LOL!<BR/><BR/>I'm a lover of reading as well, I'm not sure how many books I read in a year but it has to be plenty as my girls and I visit our library often. I love historical titles, fiction or not. I get totally lost in them and love every minute of it. <BR/><BR/>I posted in my comment section about "grinders". Too funny that you mention them and I see a business here in town that sells them just tonight. <BR/><BR/>It's okay if you don't like green olives, I want to eat them all anyway!

I also loved Teacher Man, what a great book and Angela's Ashes is on the list of reading. I just have to get through The Road, which is really a downer I must say.<BR/><BR/>Resistance by Shreve sounds like another interesting read given my maternal grandfather's parents. It along with the Weight of Water are both on my list. I also have Body Surfing, which I seem to remember you reading as well last year.<BR/><BR/>Eden Close and Strange Fits of Passion are also on my list, and I love reading Lovely Bones. It is one of my favorite books. I read Lucky by Sebold as well, though I'm not sure I liked it as much, but I do have her latest, Almost Moon. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the other books you have read. I have been trying to read everyday for a little bit. I currently have two books. But you know me, I can't read just one.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.com
