I am also guilty of being unfaithful to my current reads--I have YET to get all the way through <I>Last Child in the Woods</I>, despite how badly I want to read it. Do non-adult books count toward the annual count? I teach 3rd grade, so some of my recreational reading is a bit adolescent. I need to find a new "fun" book to read, but then I'm in!<BR/><BR/>ps. I LOVE that you have footnotes for your blog! Fab! <BR/><BR/>pps. Have you read <I>Shadow Baby</I>? the young girl narrator has an endearing love of words.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-52969244014745943482009-01-12T23:28:00.000-08:002009-01-12T23:28:00.000-08:00We are going to call you soon :) I want to talk t...We are going to call you soon :) I want to talk to you and V does too!

But he makes up for it by being sweet and taller than me.<BR/><BR/>I think we'd get along well book-wise. After I exhausted the reading materials in the house around age 12, my mom sighed and said "well, go read the encyclopedias!". Those 1965 era World Book volumes didn't stand a chance.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077738223278000467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-18029846300473622042009-01-12T15:23:00.000-08:002009-01-12T15:23:00.000-08:00I like the phrase "polyamorous reader".

So I listen to books more on audio, which, is not the same. But at least I get time, to knit and it is frees up wt while traveling for things like, yarn. I read 4 books over my break and download 3 audio for my trip home. Knitting needles are not allowed through Lima security, I know I tried. Good luck with the book challenge.monkeyspinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289148188615448818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-16614430933702245732009-01-12T13:18:00.000-08:002009-01-12T13:18:00.000-08:00Hurrah!

There's never enough time to do both. But I need to change that. I think I'll read up on BookCrossing. Thanks for the link. It's hard for me to let go of books though :( *hugs her bookshelf*<BR/><BR/>Have a great start to your week hun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
