January 2009 in a Nut Shell

January was a month with lots of snow and much nesting for me. I managed to read (19) books in January so I am pretty thrilled. Even better was the fact, I enjoyed most of what I read. Through the books I read, I visited places in India, Bangladesh, Tahiti, China, and Libya. I also saw some more of the United States: Wisconsin, New York, Massachusetts, Texas and Ohio

    I love the format of this post! I'm feeling a little scattered with all my challenges and may need to do some reorganizing.
