About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Insomniac here. (For some reason the blog won't let me sign is as usual.)
Merry Christmas to you too Christine, and everyone else on your blog.
The only kind of book I'm allowed to have access to today is a Lego instruction manual!

A great Christmas with my family. It's late and I'm enjoying the quiet right now.
I got Black Ships Before Troy and The Wanderings of Odysseus. Our girls got The Tomten and The Tomten and the Fox. Maria got Eloise in Paris. They both got hardcover illustrated editions of A Christmas Carol. Olivia got Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Maniac McGee, and two Choose Your Own Adventure books. But the one she has had in her hands the most since this morning is Mythology, the large-format picture book in the "ology" series. I gave Jim Positively Fifth Street by Macmanus.
Now I'm off to bed to continue reading Bella Tuscany and to listen to an Italian instrumental cd on my iPod.
Good night!
Merry Christmas! I didn't get any books (didn't ask for any, actually), but I got a couple of B&N gift cards because everyone knows they'll go far for me, :).
Christine, Yancy has Positively Fifth Street as well; he reads just about every poker-themed book he can get his hands on.

Does Yancy recommend it?
^^I think he did like it, yeah.

No new books here, either. But I'm close to the end of Interview, so I'll have to start sniffing around for the next thing soon.
Holy snap, Olivia got Maniac McGee? Excuse while I spaz. I freakin' loved that book. I dearly hope she enjoys it.
got "Cheese Monkeys" - cool book. I have read the child's Star Wars pop-up book and admired every engineered page of it...My sister got the Alan Greenspan book...yeek! The Coward book looks VERY good - juicy. I may have to read some of it.
It's chilly here...low tides and sea otters...
Sophia, now how did your sister know to get you the Cheese Monkeys book? Could she have seen your wish list here on Bookstep?
