Books, Books, Books!

I love to read! When I was in middle school, I kept a detailed log of the books I read. I haven't done anything like that since then. Then I saw that one of my blogging buddies keeps a list like that and it inspired me to begin! I'm going to record all the books I read in 2008. So here is my list so far, books I have read in January of 2008.

Stardust by Neil Gaiman


A Mormon Mother by Annie Clark Tanner


Outside the Gates by Molly Gloss
(couldn't find a picture!)

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman


Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale


The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman


I love reading a variety of books. Plenty of fiction with an occasional autobiography thrown in. I often read historical fiction and 19th century books as well. I seem to be heavy on the children's fiction right now... which is a lot of fun and easy to read when you have a 3 year old screaming in one ear! I'm not sure what book I'm going to pick up next, I have a few on hold at the library, one checked out and a ton of books at home I haven't read yet. I could also count reading Mike's poetry thesis this week, it's really long but a fun read.

Its your birthday!


Happy Birthday Mike! Wahoo... the big 29! Only one more year until you are certifiably old. How should you spend this next year before oldness sets in? Maybe skydiving or extreme rock climbing? Anybody have any suggestions for how he should spend this next year?
