More Than A Song

…..if we just wait a while.” A couple of weeks ago I got THE letter, that lovely kind that tells you to report for jury duty! Wonder why we all dread doing this? I had just served on jury duty for a week in October but that was in town, local circuit court. Alas, this […]

I almost forgot that I got tagged last week by Dawn for this little book tag. Easy one to do and good for me since I’m not feeling very creative at the moment! Here are the rules/requirements: 1. Grab the book closest to you. 2. Open to page 123, go down to the fourth sentence. […]

I finished reading my list of books for this challenge last week, Yay! My original post with my list can be found here. I did a few updates as I went along with my reading and I’ll put links at the bottom of this post to some of those. Katrina asked us some specific questions […]

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving day! We are still eating/celebrating/visiting with family but hope to get back in a routine soon. I saw that Dianne had this book poll over at her place, Unfinished Work and since I love books and reading I thought I’d play along. Where do you most often […]

I finished another of my books a while back but the one I started after it has taken me quite some time to plow through. So I’ll start with that difficult one, Hanna’s Daughters. This story of 3 generations of Scandinavian women covers about 100 years of time. The grandmother is Hanna, who is raped […]

I’ve got another couple of books that I finished for my fall reading challenge. First up is 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. As he is driving home from a conference, Baptist minister Don Piper has a head on collision with a semi-truck that crosses into his lane. He is pronounced dead at the […]

Still working on my stack of books for this challenge but I do have a few more crossed off. A Vow to Cherish……John and Ellen Brighton are preparing for a new stage of life when their youngest child graduates high school. But things start to go wrong with Ellen and she receives the devastating news […]

I’ve been working on my books for this challenge that Katrina is doing on her site, Callapidder Days. She has a list of participants up on her site as well. So far I have finished 3 of my books! Not sure if I’ll get to them all but at least I’m making progress. At Home […]

Katrina over at Callapidder Days is hosting the Fall Into Reading Challenge. “The Fall Into Reading Challenge encourages you to set goals for your personal and/or family reading. Everyone who wants to participate will make a list of books that they’d like to read (or finish) during the next few months. We’ll share these goals […]

A couple of days ago I finished this book by Nicholas Sparks and along with his other two, The Notebook and The Wedding, I particularly enjoyed this one. It was different, not exactly a novel, I think it had memoir written on the front cover. It is the story of a three week trip he […]

I got this from Stacy’s blog and she got it from her blog buddy Laura…..I thought it looked like fun so I decided to answer as well. I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl, had many years in there when the kids were small that I didn’t read as much, but in the […]

I finished reading my latest book, The Blue Bottle Club, this past week. I really enjoyed it; it was somewhat different than the others I had been reading lately. I will put a review of it in Hambones on the reviews page. I also did 3 more “books” last week—-books on tape that is. First […]

I just finished reading my latest book, City Girl………it was a set of three books called the Yellow Rose Trilogy. I won’t review them here but will do it on hambones instead. That makes 13 books for me so far this year. I also “read” another one last week while in the car for a […]

I finished reading my book last night, Reunion; it was the last in a series of books I had been reading. The whole set was the Redemption series, by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley. These have been some of my favorite books so far that I’ve read. I really enjoyed the family that it followed […]

I finished reading my latest book, “Forgiven” by Karen Kingsbury. It is the second of a 5 book series, and the next ones aren’t even out yet! It was really good and I’m ready for the next installment but it will be a few months, and into 2007 before the last one comes out. I […]
