I have decided to keep track of what
I'm reading. If for no other reason than to avoid buying a book that
I have already read. Being as forgetful as I am, I've done that before
on several occasions. I always read more than one book simultaneously.
I have one in my backpack, one on the night stand and another in the living
room. I read whichever one is handy at the moment. You'll notice
that I'm in a rut. I tend to read everything available by just a
few authors.
Currently I'm reading:
| Various knitting and spinning publications.. | |
| Murder at Brent Institute by Dr. Jerry Labriola | A murder mystery. . |
| The Golden One by Elizabeth Peters | I need a bit of fantasy right now. |
| Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts | History as described by the wives of our founding fathers Very good so far. |
I started these books, however
I'm stalled in reading them. I will finish them at some point.
| The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien | This on is on the nightstand. It seems like I'll NEVER finish it. On hold for now. |
| Northern Farm by Henry Beston | On the night stand. It's all right. A little slow |
| Gift from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh | On hold too. |
| Journal of Solitude by May Sarton | Kinda depressing. |
| The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve | The first book that I've read by her. I can't decide if I like it. |
