A road less traveled...

This is the road I traveled on Saturday from the baby's second birthday party to a dear friend's mother's 100th birtday party. Might have seen 3 other cars...

Just because I am now part of a book club I going to answer a few questions I found on a favorite blog...

#1 Which is your favorite genre of books to read and has it changed over time? I'll read anything. Historical fiction, modern fiction, fantasy, detective. I don't (can't) read romance novels. Not much change over time I have always read everything.

#2 Do you create a list of books to read for the year? No, it is really just random choices.

#3 do you have a reading goal for the year? No I do  not but I am keeping a list of what I read.

#4 Who is your favorite living author? Cathy Lamb, Kay McLaren, Deborah Harkness

#5 How do you organize your books? In piles. Read, to read, how did that get under the bed, could not make myself read...

#6 Do you listen to or read audio or e-books? Yes, I walk and ride bike with my audio books. I have  a  Kindle App on my Droid, new favorite toy.

#7 How do you choose what to read next? I browse book blogs, I go to the library, friends &  family on Goodreads. I am always looking for a good book.

#8 Which book has had the biggest impact on your life? Terms of Endearment changed how I felt about losing my mother to cancer when I was a teen...

#9 Which characters have you felt are the most real or believable? Imperfect people with challenges and flaws. I love those characters that struggle through life but make it good. Quirky unusual people, too. (the homeless girl in Language of Flowers)

#10 Favorite books? I have many...this year, my 60th, A Discovery of Witches, The Wierd Sisters, Born Under a Lucky Moon

Reading on my porch...

I just finished A Discovery of Witches. So smart, so spellbinding. I am so sad it is over. If I could have crawled inside of this book I would have. I enjoy a challenging read, one that keeps my interest and this book was so mesmerizing. I am now having a hard time finding another read to equal this book. Any recomendations??

A quote from Julia's Chocolates...I love this!  "Grab the love. Hold on tight. Treasure it. Love must be cradled and nurtured and enjoyed and danced with. Never, ever, forget the love. It's why we want to live."
