2009 Begins!

For those of you who are in my book group, "Read 'em and Eat" you will know that I made a very public statement at our December book group nite of having a goal for 2009 of reading a book a week.....which translates into 52 books a year! I've been thinking of the craziness of this whole thing and just thought "oh gosh, can't do that, it's impossible, it's insane, it's nuts!" and then realized, "well maybe I can, I will, I must!" haha.....well not exactly like that but still thought it was kind of a fun challenge as 1) I love to read, 2)I have more than enough books in my library to sustain me and 3, 4, &5) it will give me alot of pleasure and relaxation and focus....so onward! My first book of 2009 is "Tara Road" by Maeve Binchy which is our book club's pick of the month. It's ok so far, although a little on the soap opera'ish side.....( when you blog, you get to make up your own words) but I'm already a little bit past the halfway mark so I don't think I'll have a problem finishing this one. On deck is "The Ha-Ha" by Dave King. If there's something you've read and you think I'd like it, please feel free to suggest. I have promised my oldest daughter I will read the Harry Potter series this year so watch for that too. Have a great day and watch for more posts.

Hi Barb... I'm Kelly's Niece... Tara Road is a Great book! I enjoyed it a couple of years ago - very quick read... simple mind candy! Hope you like it too! Enjoy it while soaking in a hot bath and really relaxing! :)
