Hi Eileen,
I got the link for your blog from the Bibliovores board. I read there often but don't post much.
Love your blog and have taken several recommendations from your 2006 books that you read.
Please feel free to stop by my blog! I am just getting it started.
sleepyreader.blogspot.com
Thanks for visiting and for the link.
I think if I remember reading correctly you are near me geographically. I hope you got to visit your friend.
About TBR's:
I have only read WOMEN'S INTUITION by Lisa Samson but I loved it so I am really looking forward to reading THE CHURCH LADIES.
I got the recommendation for RIVER RISING from your list.
As for FINDING RUTH, I put that one on my list because I read AFTER ANNE and I felt so sad that I couldn't bring myself to read another. I am hoping to prod myself along and then get the series relisted at PBS.
I am not sure if I could do an A-Z list. Maybe I will try that next.
Anyway, I have to give you a big thanks for introducing me to the world of book blogs. Now I am hooked. The key is not letting it consume all my reading time..:)
I look forward to seeing you here and on bibliovores. Enjoy!
