Next book on the reading list

 Over the weekend I finished reading "Too Many Crooks Spoil the Broth" by Tamar Myers.

I enjoyed the book. . . .but I found it a little weird to have most of the recipes interspersed between the actual book. . . .guess I'm just used to having the recipes all together at the end of the book.

My next reading will be
   Elizabeth Craig is a new author to me so I'll have to let you know if I enjoyed it once I'm finished.  The Corgi on the cover was a plus (I'm a sucker for a book with a dog in it!).

I have a couple of other books that are coming to my local library (have I said recently how much I LOVE inter-library loan systems?!!) so I may have to read double time so that I don't get fined late fees.

Happy Quilting,

In peace and pieces,
 

What I am reading now. . .

 I finished "And Then You Dye" (the last book I posted about) and have started another one:

 
I believe that this is the first book in her series. . . .it's an older book.  I've read 35 pages on the first day (during lunch at work).  It seems pretty good so far. . . .I hope I can keep up the reading pace because I've been notified by my library that there are a couple more books that I reserved that will be coming in very soon.

What are you reading?

In peace and pieces,
 

And so begins a new book. . . .

 So I finished reading "Buddy. . . How a Rooster Made Me a Family Man" last night.  It was a good read but it required tissues.  I would recommend it.

After the Little Man went home last night I started reading the next book that I had gotten from the library.

  I have read all of Monica Ferris' other books and, with the exception of "Cruel Yule" I really enjoyed them. 

Well, to be honest I enjoyed "Cruel Yule" but it was not up to the normal standards that I have come to expect from her books.  It almost seemed like it was a "rush job" and not as thought out as her other books.

I'm only on page 10 so I don't have an opinion on this one yet. . . but I'll let you know.


In peace and pieces,
 

14 down. . . . how many more to go???

I just finished reading the 14th book for this year. That averages to 2.8 books per month. If I keep up that pace I'll have read 33.6 books by the end of the year.

That's pretty good with reading mostly during lunch breaks at work & the occasional "down time" (like tonight) that I take.

Of course, I'm not keeping track of the quilting, crochet and other craft books that I read and, of course, the magazines don't get added. . . .I would really have some impressive numbers if I did that!! he he he

I have another book to start reading tomorrow, and the library has a couple of audio books that I requested available for pick up. . .so my numbers will keep clicking higher.

I wish that I had kept tabs of how many books I have read since I was a kid. . . .since my nose has always been in a book I would guess that I have read more than 1,000 books. . .

And before you start thinking that I'm crazy to come up with that number consider this. . . I've been reading for more than 40 years; there are 12 months in each year, if I kept to the average of 2.8 books I year it is conceivable that I could have read 1,344 books so far!!!

Kind of mind boggling when you think about it, huh???!!!

In peace and pieces,

Book Reading

After reviewing my 2008 reading list it looks like I was able to read 34 books in one year. That seems amazing to me since I usually only read during lunch at work; but, especially if I'm getting close to the end, I will read at home on occasion.

So far I have finished one book this year. . .I had started it in 2008 but set it aside while I was working on projects during lunch.

I wonder if I will meet or exceed the reading that I did last year. . . at the rate I was going I was reading an average of 3 books a month. . .that seems like a pretty high target to try to beat!

In peace and pieces,
