Library Thing

Oooo. I love this Library Thing. You will to! It actually allows you to make a list of your personal book library. You can place a widget on your BLOGGER, sorry Livejournal and Myspace, nothing for you right now.

Try it out!

Have you done this knitting survey?

Got this survey from my SP10 partner's site, Kathy at http://breadandcirculars.blogspot.com/.
Of course I had to put it in alpha order, due to my undiagnosed OCD. ::hehe::

Book List for 2007

I read a lot. I mean a lot a lot! Perhaps it may not be someone's list of the most intellectual stuff, for I definately am not an English Major or anything. What I like is romance novels, for the past couple of years it has been paranormal romance/whodunits. I also enjoy scifi and lately detective novels.

So I am going to make a list of my reading. and shall update it as new books are consumed. That's right, I eat my way through books and it has to be in the order they were published. Drives me crazy to read them out of order.

So I shall amend this post as needed. Perhaps you may even find one or two that may interest you.

BEAM!
