Here are the books I've read so far in 2007. For the most part, the month they are listed under is when they were finished, some were begun the previous month.
This year (can you believe for the first time?), I decided to write everything down that I have read. I should have been doing this since Kindergarten.

I'm reading Queen of the Castle right now :)
I love to see your list. It motivates me! :) We're fellow book kindreds!
I'll be doing another review of it in May but it is a WONDERFUL book for Christian homemakers.
Hi Brenda,
I enjoyed reading your book list. I keep a reading journal as well, and right now I'm at about 40 for the year. I plan to do a monthly post on what I've read. I've gotten some great recommendations from your blog (some I've already read and some I plan on getting.) In fact, right now I'm about to start reading the Thomas Kinkade book that you mentioned a while back...it's right by my bed!
I'm definitely a book addict...as in, let the other women have high fashion boutiques and jewelry stores...give me a library or used bookstore any day of the week! LOL
Keep 'em coming! LOL Have a blessed Easter weekend!
A fellow bibliophile,

Carla Emery's book is one of my fave reads. I grew up on a farm and like to believe that I could live like Carla did. Sadly she passed away this past year. From everything I heard of her she seemed to be a very nice person.
I just found you through the thinking blogger site/comments. I too like coffee, tea, and books. You have quite a book list. I thought you might be interested in this...

I just joined her list. Happy reading.
Yes, likeminded bibliophiles!
What a neat post. I finished Crime & Punishment recently and meant to give a book review...smile. Maybe later.
Don't you just love MaryJanes book?
