Classic Club Readathon

Join me and the other classic clubbers in enjoying a readathon on Jan. 5th. Book a classic book and start reading for all day! Course a mini break maybe needed every now and then, but it sounds great. Not sure what book to pick for the readathon though, probably one of the bigger books on my list such as War and Peace. Join the 24-hour Readathon

Making A Difference 2013 Challenge

Do you want to make a difference in someone's life or in the world? I am starting a challenge for 2013. Here is the rundown every month post a charity that you want to help, include how you plan to do this (donating money or making something), and if there is a charity that holds a special place in your heart. You can choose to help the same charity every month if you prefer. Every 1st of the month, use the link below for us to see your post. Join me in trying to make a difference!

Period Drama blogs.....

I love the BBC period dramas, and own several of the movies. I think this is mostly due to my love of history and the dresses. Most of the period dramas I have yet to actually read the books, although they are on my classic club list to read soon. I recently found the following blogs, and wanted to share:

Not enough room for a Christmas tree?

Or do you know someone who is a fan of the Charlie Brown Christmas movie? I got this small little Charlie Brown Christms tree at the grocery store. It even plays the theme song as well, besides having Linus's blanket it has an ornament. As you can see it doesn't take up much space either.

Books to read and staying organized.....

I recently purchased these books below, and can't wait to start reading them. The Wolf Hall book will be a part of the historical tapestry challenge.

On another note, I really want to stay organized next year. So I have purchased a daily planner. I think it will work out great, as it has a lot of space and added features. I am hoping that my starting early before the years end, by time next year rolls around, I will already be in the habit of using the planner.

Books I want...

Here is a few books that I would like to read To Marry an English Lord and Lady of the English. I might end up adding them to one of my challenges for next year.

What books are you wanted to read, but have yet to purchase?
