• I found the article below talking about some pretty old books from 12 different libraries (you’ll find the link at the bottom). I thought it was an interesting article but I didn’t know there were so many different old books. I’d be afraid to touch them for fear of damaging them (they probably don’t let…

  • “One by One” by Ruth Ware

    I finished reading this one today on my Kindle Fire. This was a good book, however, I was disappointed with the fact that I was able to guess the ending before I got to the end. I don’t like being able to figure out who did it before the author reveals who did it. I…

  • What you learned…?

    What have you learned while reading? Did you read to learn a specific thing on purpose? Or did you learn something accidentally while you were reading one of your favorite books?

    How often do you talk about your reading with others? Do you talk a little or a lot? Do you usually share your reading with others or do you just sit quietly in a corner somewhere and read? I love sharing my love for reading with others. That enjoyment has a lot to do with…

  • I finished reading this last night. I really enjoyed this book, even though I think it’s meant to be for kids. It’s a very good story and there are lots of great illustrations throughout. I also like the way this ended but I won’t ruin it for you in case someone wants to read it.…

  • Well, I finished this book last night. I’ll have to say that this was an alright book. It was a short read and to the point, but it was geared more towards the young adult crowd. The story line was pretty good if you can get past the teenage angst going on. The book is…

  • Latest and newest…

    I almost forgot to mention my latest and newest e-book that I’ve purchased on my Kindle Fire. I’ve read the Last Apprentice series and the Starblade Chronicles from this author and I enjoyed them both. Now, it looks like I get to read something that about 2 characters from those series while being introduced to…
