Books...must started reading!!

Right now I have a ton of books that I want to read. So what did I do yesterday, but pick up two more at Barnes and Noble...and I have two others coming from Amazon. Not to mention I must have at least 10-15 here at home waiting for me. OK OK ....I need to clean and organize today and get back on my declutter plan. I must have a big dent done before May comes!! (I am such a procrastinator!!) Here is the list of books I want to read and the order...subject to change if I start to lose interest.

  • "The Reader" Bernhard Schlink
  • "Love the One You're With" Emily Giffin
  • "Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist" Michael J. Fox
  • "Columbine" Dave Cullen
  • "The Time Traveler's Wife" Audrey Niffenegger
  • "The Hour I First Believed" Wally Lamb
  • "Confessions of a Shopaholic" Sophie Kinsella
  • "Water for Elephants" Sara Gruen
I know this list has a little bit of everything so here's to hoping that I can accomplish my major declutter project and really start reading a lot. I know that once I get going I can speed through books. It usually takes me one or two reads and then I really notice that my speed has gone way up. It's almost a little scary how fast I can read when I devote a good chunk of time to practicing that skill! Yeah....I want that skill back!

Baxter



I just had to post a new picture of him. He is such a good dog. He is sitting so nice and good in our cluttered back room. (It won't look like that in the next few weeks!!)

Baxter has been such a treat to have in our lives. We plan to take him to the dog park and play his favorite game "ball" this weekend. Hopefully it will be a lot nicer than last...SNOW what was that about??
