Looks like I have a lot of reading in my future! I would say 90% of the books that are italicized I have already, but have not had time to read them yet. I am a sucker for books - especially hardbacks - so I usually limit my buying to second hand stores. I also cannot bear to get rid of books after I have read them so you can just imagine what my bookshelves look like. I'm going to have to get over that eventually cause I have just about run out of space:)

Oh Raesha! Do the non-italicized/non-bolded ones me you have no interest in reading them? If so, then I must insist that you at least give 'The Poisonwood Bible' a thought (or anything by Kingsolver for that matter). Also, "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Time Traveler's Wife" are two of my favorite books of all time. I read a lot but don't have many favorites so that should say something about those two. I hope you enjoy them when you do read them. I'll update my blog (finally!) with this fun book list. Thanks for sharing!
Woohoo! You are making me tired just looking at how many you've read!!! Amazing! :)

Hi Raesha! Just wanted to thank you so much for the CAOK...you brightened my day. And I will be passing it on.
Much Love, Roxanne
If I'm not blogging, crafting or cooking; I'm reading. But even still I counted twenty on your list that I need to look into.
That's a fun list! It's easy to get way too many books stacked up on the shelves, isn't it?
I know what you mean about Superbuzzy. It was hard work to restrain myself. I limited myself to one fabric purchase. And now I see they are updating the shop tomorrow. I'd better stay away!
I've been trying to email you, but I'm getting a stupid error message! ARGH! Email me so I can make sure I have the right address! maryann@averymarydesign.com
Ooh, excellent. Will add to mine soon ... (also, Life of Pi by Yan Martel was very good - highly recommended).
