What was your favorite from each list?<br />I started keeping a list last year, but was inconsistent. I think I shall start now with what I remember from this month.<br />Winning by Gary Brackett<br />Through my Eyes by Tim Tebow<br />(I'm trying to connect with my son's reading since he no longer wants to have read alouds.)<br />I wonder if I can check back in my library record to see what else I had checked out this month. Crazy that I already can't remember.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00688991209865856563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-7730540784501268922012-02-02T08:03:54.886-05:002012-02-02T08:03:54.886-05:00Wow -- this is quite a list!

I read three books in January: Money Saving Mom's Budget by Crystal Paine, Unmeasured Strength by Lauren Manning (a 9/11 survivor), and The Times of Our Lives by Tom Brokaw. I'm currently reading Packing For A Woman's Journey by Nancy Lindemeyer. Happy reading!

I just started watching it this year and it is WONDERFUL! You can catch the first season on Netflix and this season's episodes on pbs.org. I also found an English series called "Land Girls" on Netflix that I loved! It's about girls on the English homefront during WW2. I am eagerly waiting for season 2 to come out on DVD.<br /><br />As for books, I don't read nearly as much as I used to or would like to be but I am reading "A Praying Life" right now and it is ROCKING my world! <br /><br />Enjoy!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295771924438697987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-82201498904512392492012-02-01T07:36:18.488-05:002012-02-01T07:36:18.488-05:00We love Foyle's War!
