Jane Mount

I have discovered...  Jane Mount, an artist extraordinaire (imho) with excellent in taste in...  books.

Imagine that!

Her art leads me to ponder:  what books would be MY all-time top 10? 

Summer Reading Challenge

Found this on challenge on Facebook & am itching to participate!  Sharing here instead.  Darn 161 Project commitment!  ~sigh~

(if you're not on Facebook, can you pull that page up, I wonder?  The challenge is to read one or more - or all! - of the following books, write a review, post it & hope you win!  I should do this. I know I should...  here is a list of the books:

• Jessica Z. - Shawn Klomparens
• Two Years, No Rain - Shawn Klomparens
• Husband & Wife - Leah Stewart
• The Day the Falls Stood Still - Cathy Marie Buchanan
• Deep Down True - Juliette Fay
• Lydia - Tim Sandlin
• The Wilding - Benjamin Percy
• The Last Will of Moira Leahy - Therese Walsh

 Don't they all sound GREAT?   Ugh.  Repeat: darn 161 Project commitment.  ~sigh, sigh, SIGH!~)

Books DO Furnish a Room

And here is a book to prove it!  A book that is being added to my ever-growing-never-ending wishlist as I type.  It is what it is and I am what I am.

Bridesmaids, the movie

They say this isn't a "chick flick."  I beg to differ.  I enjoyed it thoroughly: laughing at the ridiculousness, chuckling at the inappropriate vulgarity and wallowing in that delightful bittersweet melancholy at the film's end.  I thought it was the perfect girl friend movie because that's what it was about: having a girl friend and being a girl friend. 

Good schufft!

suggestion

I just submitted a suggestion to AMAZON.com - wonder if they'll take my advice?  I think they should allow account holders to create a library reference on their website so we can track our books already owned.  Not only would this be beneficial to ME so I do not duplicate purchases (hate it when that happens!) but it would give them insight into their consumers as far as what subjects & materials they invest in, regardless of where purchased.  Win-win for all. 

Personally, I think it's a brilliant idea!

Kindle Quarterly Update

Kindell, the Kindle, is 5 months old, so it's time for a check-in to see how Kindell, the Kindle, is doing...

Kindell has 13 books and 6 apps installed.  No books have been read.  At all.  One app, Mahjong, is played frequently.  The other apps (Solitaire, Notepad, Dots & Boxes, Every Word & WordSearch) do not get much attention...

The books I've downloaded (not necessarily in order) are:

• Rooms by James L. Rubart
• Heat Wave by Richard Castle
• Hide in Plain Sight by Marta Perry
• Crush by Alan Jacobson
• Invisible by Lorena McCourtney
• Watchlist (multiple contributing authors)
• The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch & Lee Chadeayne
• Spoilt by Joanne Ellis
• Saving Rachel by John Locke
• Heaven is for Real by Colton, Todd & Sonja Burpo
• Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
• In the Cards by Christine Schwartz

a blog to share

I am several things - a book lover & a decorator are 2 of them, so imagine my delight to happen upon a blog about the love of bookshelves, decorated bookshelves, decorated with books, of course!, and aptly named  BookshelfPorn...

Delightful eye candy, indeed!
