I have to admit i am a book addict. I love to escape into a book and I really don't care what type as long as it transports me, intrigues me or gives my mind a puzzle to ponder. We are so fortunate to live in an age when there are millions of books published every year and they are available for the same cost as a cheap meal!
Anyway, I do have a little Review for you...What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell. This is an excellent book for all you non-fiction fans! I have to say that this was worth buying just for the essay on Cesar Milano and his body language. I've long been a fan of the Dog Whisperer, but to get Malcolm's take on him was priceless! This book is a series of essays that he wrote for the New Yorker Magazine. They ponder questions and are amazing insights into things that I didn't even know I wondered about...have you ever wondered why there are thousands of varieties of Mustard, but only one of ketchup? LOL Worth reading!
Well at the beginning of this year I did set out with a little goal, to read 52 books in a year. One a week seemed easily achieved to me, as I can sometimes finish a book in a day if I'm not doing anything else. Well I didn't quite make my goal but you know, I came close! And that's me, with 4 kids a crazy schedule and a huge move this year! I'm gonna attempt the same this coming year so keep tabs here to see more reviews and my growing year list. I have a personal tradition to recover from the holiday stress by relaxing the day after Christmas and on New year's Day with a book, cover to cover. I don't do chores or nag the hubby or yell at the kids :) I just rest, eat and read! Ahhhhh! I already have a book I got for Christmas ( Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol) waiting on my nightstand to be read on New years day. Happy reading!
