Stop the Presses!
May 28, 2007
Really. I mean it. Enough already, okay? Stop printing so many books. I can’t keep up!
(Unless you’re an editor interested in publishing my book. We’ll make an exception.)
Deborah tagged me last week regarding books read, books I’m going to read, etc. The picture is the stack of books I have that I have yet to read. Some I’m reading for review or contests, some for fun, and one for June’s bookclub. But the book stack is getting bigger each week it seems, and as much as I never thought I’d say it, no more books, puhlease! At least, not until I get through these.
So here are the questions.
What are the next five books on your to-be-read list?
- As I Have Loved You — Nikki Arana (I forgot to add that one to the stack!)
- The Potluck Club — Trouble’s Brewing– Linda Evans Shepherd/Eva Marie Everson
- In the Shade of the Jacaranda — Nikki Arana (didn’t realize I had two by her)
- A Portrait of Marguerite – Kate Lloyd
- Watching the Tree Limbs – Mary DeMuth
What are the last four books you read?
- Fame — Karen Kingsbury (this was for May’s book club; I’d already read it once)
- When the Heart Cries – Cindy Woodsmall
- Snitch — Rene Gutteridge
- Split Ends – Kristen Billerbeck
What are the last three books you borrowed?
- Homestead from my friend Judy
- Like Dandelion Dust from my friend Julie (boy, I need to get that one back to her!)
- Duty and Desire from my library (man, they want that one back, too)
What are the last two non-fiction books you read?
- The Bible
- Does Little House on the Prairie count? I just read that to my daughter.
What’s the one book you wish everyone would read?
Other than mine?
I really love Francine Rivers’ A Voice in the Wind. It’s so rich, so similar to modern America, so full of lessons, and yet so fascinating and gripping. Maybe some day I’ll be fortunate enough to write half as well as Francine does!
And that’s it. I’m supposed to tag 5 others, but if you’re reading this (and you know if you are — and so does God), I tag you to let me know either on your blog or just in the comments section.
I’ve toyed a few times with showing you a picture of my To Be Read List, but I don’t have it printed out. Let’s just say it’s four Excel pages, single spaced, 10 point font.
See what I mean? Stop the presses!

My TBR list is TOTALLY that long, if not longer!!!! We’re pathetic, you realize that?
Camy
Yes, but let’s keep it our secret, okay?
I’m with you! Buried under a pile of books. The Voice in the Wind is one of my all-time favorites, and the only series I’ve read more than once. I hardly ever re-read, but that ones totally worth it!
Okay, I’ll play. Heading off to the blog to post my answers.

Camy – I think I can rival yours – LOL!
