Books, books, books

So I have joined two books clubs due to my new mommy schedule which includes lots of time at home while the 'shrimp' (as Danny calls her) is napping. It's also a way for me to have some good adult interaction, meet new people, and let Danny take care of Shayne for a few hours. Here are the two lists of books for the year:

1. In the time of the Butterflies
2. The last lecture
3. Animal dreams
4. The book thief
5. The constant gardner
6. Nickel and dimed
7. Book of a thousand days
8. The miraculous journey of edward tulane
9. Three cups of tea

1. A tree grows in Brooklyn
2. Confessions of an ugly stepsister
3. Into thin air
4. Peony in love
5. The year of living biblically
6. The Nazi officer's wife
7. Uglies
8. The glass castle
9. I capture the castle
10. The guernsey literary and potato peel pie society
11. the scarlet pimpernel

The other day I was just thinking of some of my favorite books. I love the book Snow Falling on Cedars. If you haven't read it, pick it up sometime. I love, love, love to read- and have ever since I was a kid. My mom says she could always find me in my room with a book (of course then I used to read horrible teenage romance or pioneer/christian romance stories- I know. . . .) I do have a goal of reading more non-fiction and political/ current event literature this year. Let's see if I get to it with all my book club reading to do!

Holly! Tag you are it-ha ha. We sure have been playing a good game of phone tag. I have the Last Lecture book, if you want to borrow it. Bart and I should be back in SLC next week. Is one of your book clubs the 9th ward?

What a book list. Let me know if you like any of them. I'm always looking for a good book. We're going to be driving through Utah in May on our way to AZ. We'd love to see you guys and the little one. Let me know if you are going to be around the second week in May.
