About My Library
I have just started to compile this library. I have traded, given away etc. most of my novels over the years - so I am trying to remember the names of the best novels i've read so I can share them with you!
Like - hm - what was I reading THEN - at that time in my life - at the coast - on that camping trip in the woods - on those particular school steps - in that coffee shop....

I look forward to continuing to add current books and am happy to know i'll not be likely to have to say to someone again - "I read a great book that I know you'd love but have no idea anymore what the name is - sorry..."

My Book Ratings:

5 stars - "Bedside" books

(well-written with something that has stayed with me and been "life-changing" in some way - books that bring me comfort year after year - books I want to wake up next to every day)

(I've given my brother's book, "Sea-kayaking Safety and Rescue" five stars - not because i'm into kayaking, or want it by my bed, but because he wrote it!)

4.5 stars - Better than Excellent, books to be savored

(meaningful/entertaining/well written/these won't go to the used bookstore very fast)

Very highly recommended


4 stars - excellent/entertaining/highly recommended

3.5 stars - Better than average - very entertaining

(can recycle even soon after reading)

3 stars - average

(made waiting for the Dentist not so bad - give these out on the street)

2.5 stars - barely more than mediocre

(why even bother when there are so many great books to read)

2 stars - boring (may as well watch some reruns on TV)

1 star - does anyone spend enough time with a one star worthy book to even rate it??

0 stars - I have not yet finished it, or have not yet decided on a rating.
About Me
I am blessed to love dogs and books and most people who also love dogs and books...

What more does one really need - friends, a dog, a book -

And of course:

- a computer to help write your own book

- a cat, two gerbils, a tank of fish and Great Music

- Beautiful Surroundings (inside or out)

- Order and Simplicity

- Positive Thoughts

(maybe even a place to live and some meaningful work!)

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

Groucho Marx

HAPPY READING!
