I got this from Stacy’s blog and she got it from her blog buddy Laura…..I thought it looked like fun so I decided to answer as well. I’ve loved reading since I was a little girl, had many years in there when the kids were small that I didn’t read as much, but in the last year or two I have done tons more reading and I am enjoying it.
1) Total number of books I own? That is hard to say because the hubby buys books all the time….but he did commission the girls to catalog our books and we had a list of them at one time so we could easily find what we were looking for; they were all shelved in the right places! The last time I remember looking at the list, there were probably 800-900 books on it and not all of them are entered so it’s more than that now I would guess.
2) The last book I bought? For him the last book we ordered was probably call “Humble Apologetics”. I have no idea when I have bought a book, I did buy 2 old ones at an estate sale recently though, both were copies of “My Utmost for His Highest”, a devotional book that we already have multiple copies of so not sure why we keep getting more!
3) The last book I read? The Memory Book by Penelope J. Stokes
4) 5 books that mean a lot to me?
*The Bible
*Les Miserables by Victor Hugo; was crying by the end!
*The Zion Covenant, series of books by Brock & Bodie Thoene
*The Zion Chronicles, another series by Brock & Bodie Thoene
* The Notebook and The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks; more tearjerkers!
it’s hard to pick five!
I’ll tag Elizabeth to do this one, but I won’t hold my breath!

Yeah, I’m so glad you did this! Love books, do we get that from Dodie, or who? 🙂 I know Daddy never really read books, at least that I can remember.
I knew you guys had a lot of books, I’ve seen those bookshelves upstairs, so the number doesn’t surprise me all that much. You need to use the free software like we use for DVD’s, and get an up to date listing of your books on your computer. I can help you with that, if you want. Point you to the software and get you started. Probably good info to have, in case of a fire or water problem or insurance related.
Oh, and I saw that book on our Amazon report – thanks for using our link! 🙂 I saw several more, I bet T&S ordered them. We really appreciate it! 🙂

Oh and I meant to put “The Virginian” as one of the 5 books, or at least add it at the end…….it is the first book that I “read” by tape and I loved it; should go back and re-read it.

The Notebook and The Wedding are wonderful!
