Chloe Made me Do It
Thursday, July 27, 2006
Actually, I need to thank you, Chloe. Because your bedside photo meme made me clean up and take stock of what was residing by my bed. Books, books and more books. Some of them stayed and some of them went to the bookshelf, having already been read. Here's what was there:
"Baby Proof", by Emily Giffin. This is her third book. The first two were better, but this one is still very good. I am currently reading this one.
"The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Alboom. He is the author of "Tuesdays with Morrie", one of my most favourite books. I will be reading it next.
"Prodigal Summer" by Barabara Kingsolver. Dreamy reading. I pick it up every now and then and pick up where I left off.
"Honeymoon with my Brother" by Franz Wisner. I saw this guy on a t.v. interview and his story sounds strangely hilarious. He was left at the alter and decided to go on his honeymoon anyway. This one remains on my "To-Read" list.
"The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. She's an amazing author, but I need to be in the right mood to read this one.
"Good Night, Sleep Tight" by Kim West. This is a book about sleeping strategies for babies and toddlers. My babe is sleeping wonderfully so I don't need this book anymore. Anyone out there need a book about how to get your young children to sleep properly?...
"Tao Teh Ching" by Lao Tzu. It is my gospel. I read it and re-read it.
"From Love Field: Our Final Hours with President JFK" by Nellie Connally. This was a bargain table buy. I have always been fascinated with JFK and the "scandal" surrounding his assasination. I've already read it, so it has moved to the donate pile.
"Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin. A classic read. I have read it, but kept it by my bedside, because I want to read the ending again.
"Sleeping Beauty" by Philip Margolin. This is by the beach reading. I have read all the other Philip Margolin books, and this one is my least favourite. I know, because I have two chapters left to read and by this point, I can't remember what the bok is about, so I'd likely need to start the whole think over again. Not likely.
In addition to these books, I had several copies of Vanity Fair, at least half a dozen book marks, and a reading light.
Mr. C's side. My weather fetish is rubbing off on him. And don't worry; there aren't really dangerous explosives in that box. It's a WWI antique. To each his own.... :)
