Figured I'd start this, since it hadn't been started yet!! :)

I just opened Things To Do With Toddlers and Twos by Karen Miller.. this is such a cool book. LOTS of ideas of stuff to do with toddlers!! I'm going to have to hunt it down to buy, since it's a library book.. lol

Also still have Gentle Discipline by Dawn Lightner and Let's Roll by Lisa Beamer to read.. by the 19th so I don't get late library charges! :)

I finished A Child Called "IT" in a couple hours and now I am reading The Lost Boy. Both by Dave Pelzer.

I will need something very uplifting after reading these books!:(

I just finished "The Red Tent" by Anita Damiante (sp?) a great story about life in the tents women used to stay in during their time o the month and how it fostered closeness among them.
Also an Oliver Sacks book "Anthropologist on Mars" about different neurological studies he's been involved in.
Right now I'm into a half dozen or so childbirth and VBAC books, and yikes, I think a few of them are due back soon!:eek:

I finished A Child Called "IT" what an incredible book, but yes...very upsetting and you might want something a bit more light when you're done with that one. I dreamt about that one.

i just finished Mind over Labor and a second read of Birthing from within and Amey lent me Stephen Kings "From a Buick 8" for a quick fun read this week.

i'm not reading much tho cuz right now I'm doing these hypnobirthing tapes and prenatal yoga video whenever i have time and i'm not tiedyeing, babysitting or online marketing or playing here. lol

what other good preg/birth books do you recommend? i've read A thinking womans guide, a safe birth, vbac companion, silent knife, birthing from within (2x so far) .... any others i must read?

.... any others i must read?

"Husband-Coached Childbirth" by Bradley is very good so far!

Outlander, for the 10th or so time...love that book. Also The Firey Cross for the second time, and trying to read Mists of Avalon but I just can't get into it.

almost finished with "the transition of titus crow" by brian lumley
working on "the mask of motherhood" by susan maushart
about to start "equations of eternity" by david darling

and, of course, fangoria magazine!

for those who read a child called it, don't read what i'm reading next...

bitter harvest by ann rule (one of those true crime books) she tried to posion her husband and when he didn't die (almost did though) she burned down their house... he didn't get hurt but two of her children died...

it's breaking my heart and dh got mad last night saying i need to stop reading those kinds of books...

It took me close to six months to read about 100 pages in Mists of Avalon. The I finished the rest in about a week. I really liked it. Then I watched the movie. And I still liked it :)

I just finished this book too. I really enjoyed it and am going to start reading Dragonfly in Amber after reading the heavy books I am reading now.

I want to finish The Remnant. It's going really slow for me right now.

Tara Road
Little House in the Big Woods
Frozen Assets

The library just called to tell me Miserly Moms and a couple of homeschool books I requested are in:)

I finished reading "The Demon in the Freezer" by Robert Preston. it's a real life history/accounting of the smallpox virus (up to very recently). Makes you sit up and take notice! He wrote another book, "The Hot Zone" about Ebola nd the Reston Ebola outbreak in D.C. a few years back. Serious reading.

Am reading:

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
Hints on Child Training by H.C. Trumbull

Just finished Anatasia and am now gonna read the other side of the story by another set of authors.

Starting:
A Child's History of the World with the children.

I have been so busy with unpacking boxes and settling in that haven't had much time to read, lol.

I sewing instead of reading this month... for the most part. Well, that and some journaling that I don't normally do.

I did finish a trash historical romance last week end but that is the extent of it. Hummm, I think I need another one of those brain candies right about now.

I do have to read The 5 Love Languages of Children for our book club this month I still have 8 days so I should at least crack the book open.

I'm reading HPSS to Jerick but his interest has tappered and he is really into The Boxcar Children that I had the 2nd book of the series for Scarlets son but since ds wanted to read it we are reading it first. I know it is much more his speed and attention span so I'm thrilled that he prefers it over HP which I had been trying to downplay but he wasn't going for it.

I'm reading: The Nutrition Book (Dr. Sears), Natural Family Living (Peggy O'Mara), and Left Behind. I also have The Successful Child waiting to be opened.

I am one of those annoying people that has to read five or so books at the same time and they are all over the house waiting for me to get a second....

I am reading: The Screwtape letters by CS Lewis, and it is wonderful. The Sugar Blues, pretty good book. Democracy in America, dry but very thought provoking. Capital, by Marx. Kind of annoying. Oh, and a book I picked up at the dollar store on clearance, The Industry of Souls by Martin Booth turned out to be a wonderful find. Even dh read it and said it is pretty darn good!
