Dreadlock Girl Reading in 2009
In 2009 I read 100 books. I was trying to make it to one hundred,and I scrounged to get there. Because of homeschooling, crafting and cooking there are tons of odd books on my list. That is just the way life is right now, and I make no excuses because I wouldn't want it any other way. Sometimes (many times) after a long day of "working" around the house it has been hard for me to want to pick up a deep book or thought provoking one. What you see is what I read, for better or for worse. I wish I had some more intelligent books there-but I haven't wanted to ready them so I don't. Yep, that is that. Still I have some great favourites from what I read this year. I'll have to think about which are the top of the top, there are many that I loved this year.
For now, some cover art.

I totally remember that stage of life – when caring for the house and young children totally zapped all my energy. But you have the right attitude — these days will quickly fade away, and it is best to enjoy them to their fullest. There will be plenty of other years to read more “intellectual” books.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful 2010!

Thank you! Yes it is a stage- and too soon the boys will be older. Sometimes I think it isn’t coming fast enough, but then I remember I will never get this time back.

Congratulations on hitting 100! I’ve been trying to read 100+ books a year for a couple of years now and have never done it so I’m very impressed.
Happy new year!

Yeah, you did see that I pretty much cheated with cookbooks and craft books, right!?! Oh, well.

Love my book pillow! It really frees up my hands to journal!

I am so glad you are happy with it. I thought of you when I got that pattern. On the pattern it says, “perfect for grandmas with sore hands or kids with small hands”. I guess next I need to make the boys some?? Actually Brad and i really want them, maybe we’ll be next!

What a great reading year! I never read anywhere near that amount when The Girl was younger.
Wishing you all the best in 2010.

(I did count cookbooks and craft books in my numbers…I did cheat.)

Woo hoo on 100 books. I just barely made that goal myself. I’m stopping by to wish you and your family the happiest of new years.

You should join the book club my sis and I started. We’re looking for a couple more women, but want to keep it at about 10 women or less. :) You would be welcome!

Congratulations on reading 100 books! That is quite an accomplishment, especially with little ones in the house. I also wanted to mention that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your reading pillow! I so want one but can’t sew to save my life. I love the pockets and extras you added to it. Enjoy 2010!
