Getting Ready For Fall Into Reading 2011 
Dust off your To Be Read pile of books, make plans for cozy, autumnal evenings reading books by the fireside (northern hemisphere folks, anyway
), and enjoy a healthy dose of bibliophilia by joining the
Fall Into Reading 2011 reading challenge hosted by Katrina at Callapidder Days. This is a low-pressure reading challenge lasting until the first day of winter. Katrina does give away prizes, but the real winning is the privilege of reading, and also in meeting the other participants of this most delightful online event by reading their blogs and book reports.

I'm excited about this, for a number of reasons. One is that my mom gave me an early birthday/Christmas present of an Amazon Kindle reader, another is that I just love, love, LOVE books and reading, and another is that my friend, Xanga's very own
@GreatGrandpaDog and I are just beginning to simultaneously (more or less) read the third book of Stephen R. Lawhead's
Song of Albion trilogy together with plans for discussion (
The Endless Knot. Actually, I am finishing up book two of the trilogy,
The Silver Hand.
Another book I'm looking forward to is the Puritan classic by Richard Sibbes,
The Bruised Reed which some dear LibriVox.org volunteer was kind enough to record. It is available for free at
http://librivox.org/the-bruised-reed-by-richard-sibbes/.
And yet another book which I'm looking forward to is one I was blessed enough to snag from PaperBackSwap.com by Frances Mayes, entitled
The Discovery of Poetry: A Field Guide to Reading and Writing Poems.Well, it's time to watch some television and get my Vitamin L levels up! I currently am enjoying another long spell of watching and reading all things Wodehouse - P.G. Wodehouse. I have a couple of great DVDs at home from Netflix this week:
Wodehouse Playhouse: Series 1: Disc 1, and
Jeeves and Wooster, Season 2, Disc 2.
@EliRiello, have you ever watched these? They are absolutely hilarious (and clean).
Toodles! I need to get at that Vitamin L, as it makes good medicine for a raging head cold induced sinus headache to beat all sinus headaches! I look forward to seeing others of you at the Fall Into Reading 2011 event.
Much love in Jesus!
