As you may know, I am a bookworm. If I could, I would hole up in a library and tear through the shelves. But since my children would not survive without me (especially Evan) alas I may only read when I can find some time. (Occasionally even when I don't have time, but I am totally absorbed in a book....okay, maybe more than occasionally...) I thought I would mark a few that I recommend for reading....also the titles followed by (J) are considered juvenile literature.
You may not have noticed the list I had going on my sidebar this past year, but here it is:
*These is my words by Nancy E. Turner ( This will be added to my collection on day.)
*Forgotten Skills of Cooking by Darina Allen (Excellent advice on "old time-y" cooking.)

YES! I am an avid reader, too (from 1 book a week up to 4 books a week, depending), so I am LOVING this list!! Gracias.
I loved These Is My Words and Secret Life of Bees.
NERD! I think I read THREE books this year... All by Nicholas Sparks... The Guardian, Dear John and something else... My friend made me read them... not that it was not fun to read. I plan on reading ALL his books then retiring my reading until Stephanie Mayer does another series! :)
