  1. Lots of time to read is a blessing. You are so lucky
  2. That is alot of books. Good luck!
  3. Thanks. I loved Tuesdays with Morrie so I thought I would give this one a try. Mitch Albom also has another one called One More Day that is on my TBR pile aswell.
  4. I like your avatar. That puppy is really cute
  5. That is funny. Very creative!
  6. I remember my mom reading to me. She would read me books about trucks and everything really. There was this one book called Haggity Peg, about a witch, I was so scared of it, but I always wanted her to read it to me
  7. I am now reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. About the book: Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret. Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. One by one, Eddie''s five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you''ve ever thought about the afterlife - and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure. This is a short book, by an author I really enjoy. I am sure I won't be disapointed.
  8. I finally finished 'Salem's Lot! After reading this book I have to admit I was a little disapointed. It was not at all what I was expecting. The story was strong at the beginning, it was eerie. However, at the end it just fell apart. It became boring and I lost interest. The story was weak and it was a struggle to get through. I was not scared and it did nothing for me. However, the writing in this book is amazing. The writing is the only reason I finished this book. Stephen King is descripitve and his writing is smooth. I love his writing, just not the story. I will definetly look for others from him. This was my first taste of King, but I am not turned away. Maybe it is because I am not easily scared, but this book was a diapointment. I give it a 5/10.
  9. Hey welcome! Those books sound interesting
