Say, I tried your slow cooker potatoes...they were a HUGE hit...the ones with ham, rosemary, bay leaf, & chicken broth!

I only take one book out of the library at a time because I usually get sidetracked and can't even finish one book before the due date! The last three books I checked out, I returned a few days late. Ooops!<br />Maybe this is because I have two or three books going at the same time. Many of my friends don't understand how I can do this, keeping all the stories straight! LOL<br />Enjoy your finds!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10964706203762271736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-67436812732755244002009-07-10T15:35:18.330-05:002009-07-10T15:35:18.330-05:00You know, I adore books.

I don't because in Australia public libraries don't stock much of a range of Christian fiction.<br /><br />All my books comes from my friend Rel. I've a pile to be reviewed, for her blog (Relz Reviewz). And another pile she's given me cos she wanted to be rid of them. I have enough to keep me going for months!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-18672158994080242412009-07-10T14:16:01.349-05:002009-07-10T14:16:01.349-05:00Oh.. books and the library.. another book lover he...Oh.. books and the library.. another book lover here!<br /><br />I wish I had more time to read than I do!!

What a FAB way to keep out of the heat! I haven't read much lately with all the projects that I've been working on. Maybe when the weather cools for fall/winter, I might sit down to read. <br /><br />Have a great day & weekend!Karhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021895969293171339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-9605326313011021152009-07-10T06:44:47.763-05:002009-07-10T06:44:47.763-05:00Wow ... you got a great selection !

I can't wait to hear what you have to say about each of these after you finish them.<br /><br />I don't have a reading list ... too much pressure ! ha ha. I do always have a pile of books on the go. Right now I'm reading a lot of art books ... about different artists and styles of painting. I also read a lot of fiction. I love true stories too though. I read self help books too but usually only half way. Bad habit but one I've come to accept ! <br /><br />I am totally with you on the do a little jig after being away for the library ... I love the library too. LOVE IT !!! I think I have visited most of the libraries in our area and surrounding areas. There are quite a few !! It's my goal to visit them all !! :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007899936408265596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-33448541293214902412009-07-10T05:35:51.735-05:002009-07-10T05:35:51.735-05:00I love books as well and I've always loved goi...I love books as well and I've always loved going to the library. My grandmother always tells us that the first time she took my brother, my sister and I to a library, we were all under 3, it was in South Africa, and the lady at the library told her that it was not a good idea to go in there with three small children. But we all behaved very well and we lovedbeing there. We were at the library yesterday, we usually go there once a week.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622537113348676145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-52807121134736741052009-07-10T05:04:15.535-05:002009-07-10T05:04:15.535-05:00Ooh, I love books too!!

I especially love books about Christian womanhood and non-fiction craft books, like knitting and doll-making.<br /><br />You have chosen a great selection there! I read 'The Oregon Trail' in my schooldays, and I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember a lot about it now. I ought to try to get it at my library and re-read it!<br /><br />Great post! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-10233685297901274542009-07-09T23:28:04.459-05:002009-07-09T23:28:04.459-05:00I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato P...I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. It was very, very good. I wasn't too sure I would get into it because of the style it is written in but once I got going on it it was hard to put down. The characters drew me right in!<br /><br />The rest of your list sounds great. I've already changed my list from the last time you asked this question. LOL. It's in my sidebar.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-42261263060982372662009-07-09T23:23:05.519-05:002009-07-09T23:23:05.519-05:00I loved this post!

I love the WAY it is written - the words chosen. <br /><br />I have heard good things about the Potato Peel book -- I'm curious to hear what you think. <br /><br />The one which peaked my interest the most is the one you plan to read first -- if your review of it is good, it will be added to my TBR pile!<br /><br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-49484999837876988432009-07-09T22:17:09.537-05:002009-07-09T22:17:09.537-05:00Sandra,

Even before you gave me a glimpse of what is inside, the title sparked my curiousity. <br /><br />I love books by Debbie Macrombie and her tales of Blossum Street is amazing.

I am in a book club and we just celebrated our fourth anniversary. I would love to pass on this great hobby to her. The best book we have read thus far was Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. The author was so nice and even called in to do a discussion for our group. We read the Thirteenth Tale and really enjoyed that.daquirigoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866048440741063093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-67194789391424607282009-07-09T21:13:20.677-05:002009-07-09T21:13:20.677-05:00ooooh Sandra, they all sound so interesting..i wou...ooooh Sandra, they all sound so interesting..i would love to read the first one..<br />happy reading.Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910694148759907767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-38534649266219216282009-07-09T20:59:38.615-05:002009-07-09T20:59:38.615-05:00Thanks for listing all of these wonderful books. ...Thanks for listing all of these wonderful books.

I told my mom about it on Monday and when I called her today, she'd already ordered it, received it, and read it! It is VERY good! I like your book list. I put my library finds on my blog a few days ago. Enjoy! I am a book worm, too.Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.com
