Hey - I read "When a Nation Forgets God" last year as well! Wasn't it a good book? :) I've read a few other of those books as well.

DeleteI agree with AnElvenPrincess - I want to steal your idea too about writing down all the books that I've read this year! That will be an inspiring thing to look back on. And it might give me motivation to read more than I do! :)
Awesome sauce! I've been wanting to read the Sherlock Holmes books... Were they any good??
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea though, to write down the books you've read in a year... I think I might steal the idea for 2014, if you don't mind! :D
No, don't mind at all! :) I really liked the Sherlock Holmes book/s that I read! I also love mystery books and all things British, so ya know. I have an audiobook, and the guy that reads it has a Brit acent- perfect for in the car, etc. so, anyway, you should read it :) btw thanks for commenting here! It's been fun getting to 'know' you ;)

Wow, you sure like to read! That is wonderful, as reading is such an enjoyable pastime. I read all of Tolkein's Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit last year as well as many other books. I hope to read some of Sir Arthur Conan Dile's "Sherlock Holmes" stories this year.
ReplyDeleteSpeakign of "Sherlock", I was on pinterest looking at some of "GraceTheLavenderGirl's" pins for Sherlock and noticed your comment about waiting to see Sherlock. I would have tried to comment, but Pinterest would think a link I would give is spam - which it is not. I too thought I would have to wait until the 19th to see the first episode of Sherlock and then wait each week thereafter for the other 2, but I wasn't content with that and I searched a site called megashare.sh (a free online movie site that I have used to watch various movies) and I found the first 2 episodes of Sherlock Season 3 last week. Then tonight I checked again and the 3rd episode is up too - so I just watched it! So, I saw your comment on Pinterest I thought I should let you know this bit of great news!
Here is the link to the "Sherlock" page of Megashare - http://megashare.sh/#Search,sherlock
Yes, it IS a legitimate site! And the Sherlock episodes are commercial free!
I hope this info is helpful - I was ecstatic when I found this!
Keep Reading!
Blessings, Mandie
Hi Mandie, thanks so much for commenting :) Wow, I really admire you for reading all those Tolkien books! I'm hoping to do that this year, but it's quite big!
DeleteThanks so much. for the Sherlock info! That was very sweet of you! I hope to see you around the blog again! Meanwhile I'll be reading yours, which is very cute by the way :)
Blessings to you!

You're quite welcome, I just had to share the info =) Thank you for the compliments! Oh, I'll be coming around here now and again ;-) Thanks for visiting my little blog! With work and book writing, I cannot find time for adding new articles like I used to (pre-work) --- except for every once in a good while, but I do have a good many articles on there already.
DeleteAh, I hope you do read the Tolkien books! I enjoyed them more than the movies.
