(Not jealous of your sickness, though)--Isn't that the pits that it takes being majorly sick to be able to have a bit of time to yourself?--<BR/><BR/>My problem is that once I start a book, I obsess over it until I'm finished. It doesn't work out so well with the whole "motherhood thing"--<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your mini book reviews and new words to boot! I love introducing a new word into my usual repertoire.<BR/><BR/>I am currently reading Bel Canto by Ann Patchett--shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250338154756355827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-30246832122926929312009-01-17T22:20:00.000-07:002009-01-17T22:20:00.000-07:00O lala...4 livres!

She gobbles up a book every two to four days!

I have two books under my belt so far this year, which I am happy about. I suppose I should post about them!

I seem to be on the slow track... which is ok but I know I probably don't give books justice for how good they are when I am the one who drags them out.<BR/><BR/>Your reviews are the perfect length... enough but not so long I am tempted to skim (or scroll). gasp.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601652163975674824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-83439120975718923562009-01-17T00:05:00.000-07:002009-01-17T00:05:00.000-07:00Wow, 4 books in a week and a half, not too shabby ...Wow, 4 books in a week and a half, not too shabby at all!
