O mnieIf forced to pick words to describe myself, my first choice is always "reader." After that, I'm proud to say I'm a mom of 2 smart, handsome guys (one still in college, the other living and working in NYC) who both like to read as well. I'm a private teacher/tutor with a couple thousand children's books in my possession and would have many more if I had the money and space. I just love picture books and have had to stay out of the children's section of my favorite book stores the last few years in order to make a profit. (I was also addicted to textbooks, but that's pretty much under control now.) The two things that would make me feel most richy-rich? To have every room in my house filled with flowers and books.

O mojej biblioteceI love the existence of libraries and depended on them as a child, but I didn't own a book until I was an adult, so tend to buy now rather than borrow. Although since joining LT, I'm having a harder time waiting for all the new fiction that everyone else seems to be reading, so have renewed my library card and started to use it. In lieu of starring books, I'm creating a "favorites" collection of books that I've especially enjoyed. I consider many of these my "comfort food" books--ones that I go back to when I'm tired, stressed, bored, or just wanting a for-sure good read.

I'm keeping my children's books out of my "main library" because I don't think most people will want to wade through them to check out my library, but I love children's books, especially picture books, and would buy many more if I could afford it. This collection only includes books I actually own. Throughout the years, I've read thousands of wonderful children's books that I've loved and would highly recommend, but haven't listed because I don't own them. Eventually I may add these as a separate category. Note: I'm not done entering in the children's books I own. All I can say is it's nice to have the excuse that I need them in my job.

Just wanted to say happy Christmas and hope your sister is comfortable, and you're ok (and not sick any more!). Are you far away from her? I read back on your thread and you sound pretty tired out from looking after her. I hope the holidays will be relaxing for you.

Thanks again for the reading advice. I've flagged it the last few days, but before that it seemed like even just reinforcing a few of the phonics things (magic e, silent letters) and reading good books instead of readers was starting to work. I'll email you once we get to Sw with an update. Fletch doesn't start school till Jan 18, because I want him to have a few weeks to settle in.
Bonnie- I will be moving "Child 44" up a few spots! I heard there is a sequel? Later, my friend!

Hi Bonnie! How are you my friend! I'm enjoying a day off today, which is an added pleasure, since I'm watching the snow gently falling, outside my window! You mentioned having an extra copy of 'Midnight's Children". What were you planning on doing it with it? I'm going to host a G.R. of it, based on your excellent suggestion, in March. I have a somewhat battered copy of it, lent out at the moment, but I plan on retrieving it soon. Let me know!
I read "Netherland", earlier in the year and was somewhat disappointed. I hope it works better for you!
Merry Christmas, my LT pal, it's been great conversing with you!

Hey Bonnie,

It is a paperback. I'll send it out next week (after the Christmas craziness). Don't worry about reciprocating. And yes, I do get a lot of Christmas treats from the students and their families, just the way you described. I'm good for coffee for months to come. LOL.

Right now, no one really wants to be in school (students or staff) but we're here until noon Wednesday. Then I'm hosting our staff Christmas party at my house. Then Christmas eve I have everyone at my house and Christmas Day presents and dinner with my immediate family. Then Christmas night a large bottle of wine and total exhaustion. And me saying (again this year) "It's finally over with." God I love the holidays;-) Have a good one.

Haha - that site leaves nothing for the states and I'm not too happy about having to mark my 50 state challenge (the unofficial one!) as red myself - even though Ohio was a battleground state, let's just say it's always blue in this house. :)
It is an awesome poster - it's actually for sale on Edward Tufte's site (an awesome presenter of all things design data related as well) - http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/posters

There's a huge version from someone here - but at an angle & a little blurry:

It's amazing on so many fronts - when you see it up close, you can see that it was done on graph paper and that they were counting the days up (and down) - they would also show the 90 minutes it took to go around the earth and how much of that time was spent in light & dark. He had translations of the notes and you could see when people visited, some holidays and little marks that meant things like "fresh food delivery!" It's just an awesome demonstration of what you can do with graph paper and pencils! :)
Bonnie, thank you so much for your note. I would love to meet with the three of you! Hope your son is enjoying his time at UO. I'm in the Department of Human Physiology. Any chance he's a major? Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Jan
Hi Bonnie,
I'm looking forward to next year's reading challenges, this was my first year participating on LT, coming from a pretty lame trading site with a book forum that wasn't as in depth or with such passion as here.
Let me confess that I haven't read The Bone People yet, though I have it down for reading this coming year. I have been focusing on reading more New Zealand adult literature and from what I've read this year I'd have to recommend Patricia Grace and Elizabeth Knox. There have also been a few newer writers getting great reviews - Eleanor Catton, Rachel King and Alison Wong.
We already share a lot of books, but I'm sure that if you added your children's collection that number would go up alot. I have hundreds of children's books and did catalogue them last year. I have been heavily involved with promoting children's literature for the past 8 or so years but have scaled down to just being on a couple of subcommittees now. I'm also a picture book addict, though have managed to curb my buying habits a little during the past year. When I travel I love buying picture books as my souvenirs.
Anyway welcome to the new challenge and I'll be following your thread for sure.

I've been off this board forever, so I just caught your remarks on Eliot's Middlemarch. I didn't see too much comparison with Austen. Austen, to me, is more into the romance angle of things, while Eliot is more focussed on how to live in the world. Although I really enjoyed P. and P., I'm not a big Austen fan.
Sure I do. It still sounds like a great read.
