The Sunday Salon: Jury Duty Reading
Once I moaned, groaned and resigned myself to the fact that I had to go in and do my civic duty, I looked on it as an opportunity to read – something I never have enough time to do as I would like. I spent two days sitting in the jury pool before I was [...]
Reading With Amy: An Informal Read-A-Long of Gone With The Wind & The Wind Done Gone
Amy had tweeted about wanting to read Gone With The Wind, a book that I haven’t read since probably high school, and I was thinking that it might be interesting to also read The Wind Done Gone.
The Wind Done Gone was the subject of much controversy when it first came out because Margaret Mitchell’s estate [...]
Old or New? Comparing Re-Reads and First Reads: A Shelf Discovery Mini Challenge
Aren’t you sad? We are going into the last few months of the Shelf Discovery Challenge, hosted by Julie of Booking Mama. I have had a ton of fun going back and re-visiting these old classics, and I am finding that a few of them still resonate with me and are some of my favorite books even [...]

Book Club Pick: Little Bee, Chris Cleave

Sunday Salon – Back From The Reading Dumps – February 21, 2010
I’m reading again!
