After a trip to a couple bookstores this week, I am armed and anti-social. My current possession (rented and lent) of books to read is as follows. My request list at the library is as follows. I am greedy for books and wonder if I can possibly get through them. What are you reading??

I'm reading your blog! I'm waiting for my glasses to be fixed so I can't read now.
How was your family visit???

T, the fam visit was glorious. We fit a month's worth of experience into one week and had plenty of down time. Everyone was there, so it was superb. I made 7-layer bars. I cannot even comprehend broken glasses, being practically blind myself.
I would read that book in your post based soley on the cover.
It is beautiful!
I am STILL reading "Mayflower" about the pilgrims and their settlement in Plymouth.
Next? Who knows. I'm finding it difficult to make the time.
amanda, i loved the cover too. :) i'll let you know how it is. Mayflower sounds very good. I think I've seen it around and it looks dense. No small undertaking. For the record, Ms. Hempel is a thin book, maybe not even 200 pages.
Your goodreads widget is beautiful!
Well done.

Confession: I never finished Ms. Hempel. The cover was the best part of it and I never got hooked. I fear it was written too deliberately. Or, I read it as such. I fear it should have been titled Thoroughly Modern Millie. But, without the charm of the moving picture. Now, that is a film.
