To catch up, I'm going to write mini-reviews for 2 of them. I try to write them immediately after I finish reading, but life has other plans. I'm thinking about having a review time blocked in my schedule each week to avoid backlog. We'll see how that goes.Shondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430978671903519256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-42742395886774328392010-01-24T19:36:29.870-05:002010-01-24T19:36:29.870-05:00That is not a bad idea Staci, especially when I ge...That is not a bad idea Staci, especially when I get back logged.<br /><br />Thanks for everyone's sweet comments and award thanks :)(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-37907153168192597142010-01-24T18:56:02.282-05:002010-01-24T18:56:02.282-05:00From one non-swimmer who lives by the sea to anoth...From one non-swimmer who lives by the sea to another...thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-1881852066699691142010-01-24T18:53:30.117-05:002010-01-24T18:53:30.117-05:00I almost picked that one!!

Well, I just sit down and write my thoughts without notes etc. I only highlight what I liked about the book or how I felt.

I am reading "The Happiness Project" this week as well (I just started it this morning) and I LOVED Jonathan Tropper's "This is Where I Leave You".
