The Simple Pleasures of Life


• Wed 4 Jan 2006 - Books!

Posted in Library

Ok, I must confess ~ I love books.  Yes, you read that right.  Books have been my best friend for as long as I can remember and now I get to read a whole new group of books. 

Yeah! Doing my happy dance.

Not only did I strike gold at the library book sale for our homeschool and personal library.  I received the books for improving our lifestyle and learning more about homesteading I had on hold.  I've listed the books below and as I read thru them, I may briefly talk about them.  Some of the books have already been introduced and discussed at other blogs, which led to a couple of my choices.  Others were a result of a subject search in the catalog.
