Library

I *heart* the library! I just love being able to go and get books and bring them home to read and never have to pay a penny. I think libraries are very cool institutions :mrgreen:

I had to recheck the book I was reading “Murder at Union Station” by Margaret Truman, as I was not quite finished with it. Here’s a neat factoid: I was reading the book the other night and Tim saw her name and said “is she related to President Harry Truman?” I had no idea, so I do what I always do. I went to the computer and got on Blingo, and come to find it, she is his daughter! How cool is that.

Anyway, I checked out 2 more books, you can see them on the sidebar. They are “The Preservationist” by David Maine, a book I had seen on Susie‘s blog, which is about Noah and building the ark. The other is a book that I think was on the bestseller list for a while, a few years ago – “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd. Tune in over the next couple of weeks for book reviews.

Also, in my Thursday Thirteen post below, I listed 13 movies I wanted to see this summer. I found one at the library that seems to be a favorite, so I rented it for a week. For free. 😆 I got “Because of Winn Dixie”. I hope I don’t cry for days afterward, I’m a total sap when it comes to dog movies.

    I figured you knew she was Truman’s daughter when I saw you reading that book the other day. They talked about it when the book came out. I watch too many tv interviews I guess!

    how cool is that! I wish I had more time to go the library and make sure I got the books back on time! LOL I love reading!

    Do share any good books you read! BTW, have you read heard of the author John Eldredge? He’s got some awesome books out!

  3. Gail Said,

    Don, and my kids, have read several of John Eldridge’s books, they are good.

  4. Gail Said,

    oops, typo…….Eldredge

  5. Susie Said,

    I hope you enjoy “The Preservationist” – it’s a little bit different, but I enjoyed it. Just thinking about how Noah got all those animals on that ark is fun for me.

    I’m pretty sure you will enjoy “The Secret Life of Bees” – I liked that one too. 🙂

    I’ve GOT to finish “The Thorn Birds” so I can move on to another book! I’ve not had near as much time as I’d like to spend reading lately.
