binge reading

a real thirst for a good story

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine-started 8-3-04;

Hoot
by Carl Hiaasen-started 8-3-04

i finally got my order from oxbowbooks.com. more of these books are
like textbooks, hard to read in one setting...you have to take the
information in small bites.

once again, i'm back to reading children's books. mostly because i
either missed these growing up or they hadn't been written yet. it's
also a trust. one day i will have children of my own and i'd like to
have stories to read to them.
also, it seems that the sci-fi section has gotten stale over the past
few months. i may give it a rest so that i won't get tired of it
altogether.
