Me and My Books

Really what can I say - I like books and here are the latest ones I have read.


If you are looking for a really good book to read right now, I highly recommend Marley & Me, by John Grogan, this book is really good. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this book to be all that good, but oh was I wrong. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the book. That's probably because I could relate to many things this dog did and how the owner felt. Reading this book was like reliving the time we had with our dog Shelby who was a lab. Even when I got to the ending of the book it really hit home. I really seriously give this book two thumbs up and rank it a must read book.

You did't think I wouldn't have a scrapbook related book to share with you. Of course I do. This one is from Autumn Leaves - Design with Series, and since I have them all, I had to add this one to the collection too. Plus you will find Emily Falconbridge in this one, and what I seen of her work in the book, it alone is worth getting this book. But really overall this is a really good book and if you ever get in a rut, it would be one to pull out and get you going again.

Hello Carolyn!

Thanks for B-Day wishes. We'll have to chat, it's been a while and a lot has happened.

The doggie book sounds interesting. Keep those reviews coming.

I wondered about that book, Marley & Me -- I've seen it several times when I was at B&N, but never really picked it up.

I haven't seen that AL book yet. Thanks for the review!

Th Designing with Recipes looks very cool. I couldn't read the doggy book. I'm such a sap for that stuff. It would be too wet with tears.
