Books I've been reading...

I have been working on the boy's books read list, but it is a long one!  I thought I would also start keeping track of books I am reading or listening to myself.  For a lot of motherhood years, I didn't get to read much at all.  I know myself well enough to know  I will be grouching if interrupted from a book.  This past year or so I dove in head-first, sometimes over-indulging to be sure!

(I don't do TV or movies really)

This list is from books from the past year:


JRR Tolkien:
Hobbit
LOTR
Simarillion

My husbands' new interest naturally becomes the study of my kids. They have all been taking instructions from Bobby Fishers' book.  Ahsh has a natural proclivity for it.  Today as he casually puts dad in check he remarks, "maybe someday I'll be a granny master!"
