I Heart Reading

I love to read.  Like really really love to read.  I have piles of magazines all over my house (which I somewhat unsuccessfully try to blend in with the decor) and so many books that I've begun donating some to Goodwill because I'm out of bookshelf space.

So it shouldn't surprise you that every time a "good" book is mentioned to me, I feel obligated to record its title and author so that in the "near" future (when I have oodles of free time and have completed my perusal of all the other books currently stacked in my house), I can read this supposed wonderful book.

Here is my current list of titles to read.

  1. I'm a huge bookworm!! If we didn't already have hundreds of books at home, and maybe some more money, I'd have even more....and if I had time to actually read... I think the kids have 300+ books, but we still check out 20 or so books at the library each week. Madness! Do you use shelfari or goodreads to keep track of all these books? I've slowed down my reading a lot these days, but at one point, it was crazy. And I read lots of magazines too.

  2. Delighted that my book, WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, is on your reading list...I hope you can find time for it. Readers tell me it gives them a lot to think about regarding friendship and personal ethics...All best, Sally Koslow
