Mom of 3 boys, kindergarten teacher... I read when I can, and my TBR list is ever growing, mainly because I can't stop myself at garage sales, Salvation Army's, and Volunteers of America. How do you bypass a book you know you will read someday?

I'm happy to send books anyplace! Just ask if you see something that you might be interested in! I just ask that you promptly journal, so I know that they have arrived safe and sound. *** I don't know if my PM is working or not... haven't heard from anybody is quite some time which makes me think.... maybe not? try me here if I don't get back to you in a day or 2.... jls4056 @ yahoo . com*****

Many of the books are those of the kids. Ask you see something you want!

My favorite books are:
1. How Yoga Works
2. Jitterbug Perfume
3. Fried Green Tomatoes
4. Memoirs of a Geisha / Midwives
