PaperBackSwap Has Me Reading Again

Sometime last year I promised myself that I was going to get back into reading again. Wedding planning is a black hole, a vortex that sucks out all your energy and all the room your brain has for fun things. And for me that was reading. Lately I have been back at it and one of the things that has helped my transition back into “Reader” has been PaperBackSwap.com. This place is a wonder. A miracle. And I’m so sad I wasn’t introduced to it until a few months ago. But I jumped right in and started posting and receiving books. Let me tell you what I’ve received so far.

• The Birth House by Ami McKay
• The River Wife by Jonis Agee
• The End of Alice by A.M. Homes
• Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan
• Country Matters: The Pleasures and Tribulations of Moving from a Big City to an Old Country Farmhouse by Michael Korda
• Sarum by Edward Rutherford
• The Forest by Edward Rutherford
• The Princes of Ireland: The Dublin Saga by Edward Rutherford
• A Lost Lady by Willa Cather
• The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather
• And Ladies of the Club by Helen Hooven Santmyer
• The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
• One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
• No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy

A few of those are epic sized. No idea when I will get to them, but I am slowly working my way through. During NaBloPoMo I will post my review of The End of Alice, but as we speak it is on its way to the next reader.

What are you reading lately? Are you a member of PaperBackSwap.com? If so, add me as a friend.

TOMORROW: Starting a series of posts covering our honeymoon trip up to Maine and Prince Edward Island, Canada. Long overdue, but I hope you’ll stop by. Lots and lots (and lots!) of pictures.
