I also just received the Richard Russo book in the mail. I also read a lot and for the last couple of years my reading has overtaken my stitching--which is why I've not made much progress on my stitching this year.

Sounds easy, but - after four books off my list other books were calling louder than the ones still remaining on my list. So I abandonned the list, lol.<br />I hope you will show a picture of the new sewing table your FIL made for you.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-76200961000394555862009-09-19T02:33:30.753-07:002009-09-19T02:33:30.753-07:00Hey gf!

I never thought I'd like them either, but I'm telling you, the needle flies when you're listening to a book. I try to keep one book to read (as in turn the pages read) and then one to listen to while I'm stitching. There are so many good books out there--it's nice to be spoiled for choice!<br /><br />Love your SBs, and I can't WAIT to see your new table!Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-87494553948527516102009-09-18T21:29:04.813-07:002009-09-18T21:29:04.813-07:00I love your book list-some I've read and some ...I love your book list-some I've read and some are on my to read list.

I think reading your progress has CONVINCED me to put Ann on my list of things to stitch! :)<br /><br />I am reading Pride & Prejudice too!! I am also reading some wonderful sequels.

I think I will finally break down and invest in a Kindle. Love your stitched smalls and looking forward to seeing your room and table when you get it all put together. I added some books on your list to my ongoing list. I am not participating in the challenge, but I keep a list of books when I find titles that interest me.<br /><br />Have a great rest of the week!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935111380330769183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-90855938573844486002009-09-16T10:23:18.938-07:002009-09-16T10:23:18.938-07:00I prefer reading a book to rather than listening t...I prefer reading a book to rather than listening to one.

I do too much reading with the kids schoolwork to want to read again later in the evening! LOL! Of course 3rd grade reading can't really compare to a good novel.<br />Love the finished little projects. Hope to see them framed soon.<br />Take care!

Today I went to find the public library in Autun. I found it alright but only about 20 english paperbacks in the entire library. I am dying to read the Twilight series but no such luck. Its all in French. Hope you get round to reading all those good books. ; )<br />Alice<br />xxxxAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06060033897393436115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4971814362018159119.post-9621437258048892712009-09-15T14:10:34.292-07:002009-09-15T14:10:34.292-07:00I do audiobooks and regular books too.

I used to like audio books more than I do now I must admit - I listen to them only before I go to sleep at night and leave my iPod to turn itself off after 20 minutes but I do enjoy actually reading more. Now I want an eReader so it never stops with my wanting. It will one day. I don't watch tv anymore either - I listen to it and occasionally look up. I loved your reading list The Shadow of the Wind is one of my favorite books. Have fun with this.
