Hi kids!
You'll notice that to the left of your screen, you'll see a shiny new goodreads link. (Thank you Cecelia, for opening my eyes to one more great use of the internet). A list of a bunch of the books I've read, books I'm currently reading, books on my to-read list (see also: books I couldn't walk out of the used bookstore without purchasing).
I lost an hour this morning listing a bunch of my books, and then I discovered that you can enter the date you first read it! Circa 2002, I began writing the date in my books along with my name, so I basically tore apart my bookshelf this morning, writing down the dates in my book journal. I lost at least another hour there, though it was well worth it.
I think it's clear at this point that I have no life. That, and I'm an incurable nerd. Having married an incurable nerd, I am at peace with this.
If you are also a nerd and/or book glutton, you can be my pal on goodreads, and I'll see what you're reading when, what you thought of it, etc. I'm all for avoiding crap books, and finding good ones, so this could prove helpful to me.
Alright, off to grab some food items before work. Have a good day, all.
I leave you with a few new favorite t-shirts I found online at threadless.com and bustedtees.com:
If you end up buying the haiku shirt in a women's size, make sure you get it in an XL. I did, and it was pretty snug after I washed it.
ResponderEliminarThe sweatshirts do not work the same way, though, as my mom found out. She bought it for herself, but XL fits my 6'4", well built boyfriend perfectly now.
I think you would love the book, A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken with quotes from C.S. Lewis, quite a love story and thought provoking as well.
ResponderEliminarHope you have time to enjoy this great book (nonfiction).
Actually, It is a book with by Sheldon with letters from CS Lewis as they became good friends throughout the years. I loved it so much after reading it I bought a copy to keep for myself. I am surprised we don't hear more about this book, maybe because it was written so long ago. A SEVERE MERCY!
