Book Blogger Hop: 6/18/11

This week, Crazy For Books asks  “How many books are currently in your To-Be-Read (TBR) Pile?”

Well, the number of books in my house is very few, maybe 20 to 30.  I wanted to free up space in my home a few years ago, so I sold most of my books and donated the rest to a woman’s prison program.  Instead I decided to just keep a list of the books I am interested in reading and buying them as needed or checking them out from the library.   This is must easier on the wallet as well.  And when I do buy a book, I buy it on my kindle so there is still no piles of books to contend with. 

So I keep my TO READ list on Good Reads.com – whenever I see a book I want to read I simply add it to my every growing TO READ list!   I love that my list is accessible from any computer.  If I need a name of a book…I can access it from my smart phone or the library computer.   Easy enough and no piles of books over taking my house.  Currently I have 320 books in my TO READ list at Good Reads.  I can sort them how I want on the list and I like to use random number generator such as random.org to select a number and read that book.  I always struggle on what should I read next????   Eliminates that problem.  

Happy Reading!!

Book Blogger Hop: May 22nd

Friday’s Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy-For-Books. It is a weekend long event giving bloggers a chance to discover other book bloggers!   Every week there is a new question posted……this weeks question is…..

"If you were given the chance to spend one day in a fictional world (from a book), which book would it be from and what would that place be?"

This is a very hard question to answer for my first time participating in the Book Blogger Hop.  One of the first books I remember reading and thinking to myself, I want to go there some day was “Shell Seekers” by Rosamunde Pilcher.  I dream of going to the beautiful beaches of Cornwall and the English countryside.  I read this book as a teenage and still to this day can remember how much I wanted to visit there, though I barely remember the storyline of the book. 

Happy Reading!!
