Recent Reads
- 3- Where Trouble Sleeps by Clyde Edgerton
- 4- World Without End by Ken Follett. Pretty good sequel to Pillars.
- 5- Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Really great medieval story. Good strong plot and compelling characters. Read this!
- 3- The Alchemist's Daughter. Pretty good medieval-ish novel. Good twist at the end.
- 2- Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife by Linda Berdoll. If you've ever wanted explicit discussions of Elizabeth and Darcy's intimate activities, including lengthy discussions of Darcy's "love torch," this book is for you. (is redeemed to a 2 for humor)
- 4- The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. My first library sale purchase is a hit!
- 3--The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket and Brett Helquist. Okay, but not as clever as all the hype. Maybe it will be a 5 by book 13?
- 3--Stowaway by Karen Hesse. Pretty good YA novel about Captain Cook's journey to Australia.
- 4--Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Re-reading it despite objections from my presby. friends. Always good for a fresh perspective.
- 4--Snow in August by Pete Hammill. Great, original story.
- 3-- A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt. Worth reading for extraordinary wit and word play, but beware of pretty objectionable content.
- 3-- Educating Alice by Alice Steinbach. Read it for the interesting content, but you'll have to overlook the author's pretentious style.
- 0--Lake Wobegon Summer 1956 by Garrison Keillor. One too many "luscious orbs" jokes.
- 4--Forever by Peter Hamill. Good if you like New York and have the sense of humor of a groundling.
- 5--The Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs. Laughed out Loud
- 1--Flight of the Falcon by Daphne du Maurier. Zzzz.
- 5--Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. The good news is, you get 7000 pages before you have to say goodbye.

Lydia...I wrote this before I saw that you had written about to-do lists yesterday!
Haha! Well, these are good To Do lists. :)
I actually only have two things on my list. For once I haven't gone overboard on listing! :) Although mine definitely fall under the "Less likely" category.
I LOVE to-do lists. Really lists of any kind. If I don't write it down, I will forget it.
My to-do list for when I get back to Texas: (not in order of importance)
1. drink dr. pepper
2. eat queso at a mexican food place
3. pet my animals
4. hug family and friends
5. go get dress clothes for school out of the storage unit
6. also get all my classroom crap out
7. look at houses
8. eat a chicken fried steak
9. have a cookie monster from Cheddars
10. wear a sleeveless shirt
So much to do!
my to do list...
1. stop letting the demonic turtle living in the fridge run my life...
that is all...
Whoa...Al is from Canada and quite an interesting guy. (Don't go to his blog if foul language offends you.)
I also want to write a book someday. I used to want to write devotionals, perhaps a daily compilation geared toward young women.
I would also love to travel the world. Some places I hope to visit before I die: Niagra Falls, Italy, and New Zealand.
Have Babies on a to-do list - what in the world. I mean...how does that work? "Hmmm, lets see, what are we going to do today, wait...let me get my list. Ok - stop biting fingernails - check. Take more pictures - check. Have a baby still left to do today, I better get started." ha ha ha haha ha - that turned out way different that it sounded in my head!!!
