I had a great reading year in 2011. There are so many books to read both old and new that I will never get to them all but I sure try to buy as many of them as I can. I am sad to say that I did not meet my own personal 5x4 Reading Challenge goal but came closer than last year. Perhaps I'll do better next year on my personal challenge. I did read over 100 books this year. Absolute favorites of

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.  Each week we get a new theme.  This week's theme is top 10 books that should be required reading for teens. It is hard to say that any book should be "required" as I would love to see teens out there reading books that they choose. Since there will be "required' reading I feel a variety should offered in order to help

That's right! I finished my first Challenge for the year: the NaJuReMoNoMo Challenge at FOMA. I read 12 novels this month as well as one short book of poetry. The poetry, of course, didn't count for this challenge. It's been a fun reading month and a great kick off for the year! Hope your reading has been fun.

As I have been cruising the Internet reading about, what else, books, I've run across several Top 100 lists. Time Magazine has one. Erica Jong has one. USA Today has one. As does Modern Library, Teachers First, Newsweek, College Board, & The Best 100 List. AAR, Goodreads Best Romance, I thought it would be fun to list some of the novels I have truly enjoyed over the years. There are a few

Bookmooch, Paperback Swap. Do you use one of these to trade books? Or another similar service? Which one do you like? Why? Which one do you like least? Why?I usually trade at used book stores, but thought I might give one of these a try. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

I've read several posts and comments lately about rating systems and it seems that people like a rating on the reviews they read. Therefore I have created one for my reviews which are here. I don't like to be critical of an author's work (I could never write and be published) so this rating system reflects only my feelings about on a book. Others may feel differently. Isn't it great to have such

I am reading Boneshaker which says on the front that it is Steampunk, a genre I hadn't heard of before. I had to look it up and this is what Wikipedia says:Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often

Last week J. Kaye had a question: "My question is what is up with paperback books costing over $10?" Her question made me think about my own purchasing of books. I pay less than cover price for most of the books I buy. I hunt around at used book stores, online sources, and sales for books.The first thing I do is to search half.com for books I want. The used book sellers there will usually combine
