I went and picked up "Vanity Fair" and "Through a Glass Darkly" last night for my March reading list. Wow, I hadn't thought that through really well, because both books are really BIG and chunky! I decided to stretch "Vanity Fair" to March-April for my monthly classics challenge. If I finish it faster than that, great...but it is definitely worth two months of reading just on size alone. I also added "Wuthering Heights" to my classics list because I watched part of the movie on AMC tonight and felt inspired to read it.
Just finishing up "The Great Gatsby" tonight to finish out February. Hopefully I can have a review up for that very soon.
That's all folks...

Hello out there
OK, so I'm braving the world of blogging because I couldn't resist starting a blog to keep track of all the books I read and also to hopefully meet some people out there like myself and expand my ever growing TBR list. I have had so much fun already just setting up my blog and my TBR list to the side there is probably one third of what I actually want to read.
I'm not a book reviewer, but I do like a good book with some meat to it. I will try to give my honest take on the books as intelligently as possible, but I'm not a literary critic so if that's what you are looking for then you are in the wrong blog! :o)
Of course, I made my TBR list, logged out and went to the library to get some books and found another book to read in the used book sale bin on the way out. So, I came home and immediately added that to the TBR. It's "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" by Fannie Flagg. I've seen the movie probably 6 or 7 times and LOVE it, so I've always wanted to read the book. I can't wait to read it, but I've got a few rather large books on tap for March already ("Through a Glass Darkly" and "Vanity Fair"). I'm just finishing up "The Great Gatsby" and then diving into "Darkly" hopefully by tomorrow evening. Hopefully, "Tomatoes" can be a lighter read after some of the heavier books I'm reading this month.
I've always been ravenous for new books to read since I was a little girl. I can't believe it took me this long to start a blog about it. I guess I'm just shy... LOL
