But I have read all of your blogs lately....and kind ofintense, but other than that, I enjoyed it. I've also been reading more books by Melody Carlson . I definitely recommend her Diary of a Teenage Girl series. More reviews on the way!

I can't wait to continue with the series! (Cross-posted to books and 100ormorebooks .)
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer This one is by some considered to be a classic. I've had it in my shelves for years before I started reading it. Shirer tells of the beginning...Second World War.

Reese, best known for his three...of Night , The Glass of Time ) has been the most notable so far in bringing this writing style back to the forefront of modern fiction, I think Reese equals him in style, details and execution.

A day like today that chills...of leftovers but I'm not sure if I'll can it or not. I'll probably have some for lunch and see if I can freeze some to offer to the people who are helping us paint our new place this weekend :-)
