I wish I was as organised as that with a notebook. At the moment I'm reading Far from the Madding Crowd. I've been reading it for a while though because, for some reason, I seem to have less time for it now I'm not working.<br />Teresa xA Time for Stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081085376540243147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289163048724201322.post-36423761131622709322013-03-17T03:16:02.059-07:002013-03-17T03:16:02.059-07:00Seeing what a person is reading does give you a pe...Seeing what a person is reading does give you a peek into their life. All the books on my Kindle are freebies! Haven't bought one yet. Still getting lots of "paper" books from the library. <br /><br />I like "Reshaping it all" by Candace Cameron Bure. I've checked it out from the library twice and renewed it several times. Eventually I should buy it for my Kindle.

They have great free author & poetry readings. Powells is the best place to be on one of our many rainy dayMy fav spot is the Reading Room where you can read & have coffee or tea while you people watch out the window. I hear it is a very hot spot for finding a date. It is Portlands' #1 place for people on a 1st date to meet. This is probably because there are so many things to see & talk about you won't experience any of the usual awkward silences may occur. <br />The past couple of years I have purchased a lot of gently used or very cheap new book via Ebays' auctions. I have been decluttering my home at the same time and decided that I would keep a designated box for books I had finished reading. Several times a year I take the filled box to my local library. The library in turn sells them at their book fair fundraisers. I get to read the book, a less cluttered house and a tax deduction. The library gets good quality books to sell & support their childrens' programs.

One of my current fiction writers is Elizabeth Lynn Casey. She writes a mystery series about a librarian who is new to a small southern town and is invited to join a sewing circle where she is welcomed by some and resented by others. When I am looking for something non fiction I go with history or biography.Judy1522https://www.blogger.com/profile/08002999458613812287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289163048724201322.post-62172085137093985632013-03-14T12:26:58.790-07:002013-03-14T12:26:58.790-07:00Your is big trouble Missy!!

If you are in to whole grains, keep your eyes out for their Whole Grain Baking cookbook!<br />Not much I have read recently is going on my top favs list. When life gets stressful I reach for lighthearted reading, and Phillip Gulley's Harmony series has brought me a few laughs, as he tells the story of a small town Quaker minister.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
