We spent some time at the bookstore this weekend and I was surprised at finding so many new books to add to my wish list. I don’t really look for new books as it’s all about Christmas this time of the year but I’m glad I wandered around the stacks. Here are some of the books that have made it on to my wish list.

• Ghost of a Chance by Amy Patricia Meade
• Queen of the Tambourine by Jane Gardam
• Eye Contact by Cammie McGovern
• Music Through the Floor by Eric Puchner
• Everything Must Go by Elizabeth Flock

If anyone has read these let me know what you thought.

As usual I also checked out the latest magazines and found out that The Rubber Stamper is no more. The current issue is the last one and next one they’ll be merging with another craft magazine. What a bummer. I play with rubber stamps and I enjoyed checking out this magazine as they always had some great articles on techniques and tools of the trade sort. Supposedly the new magazine will keep some of the same content format. I’ll be checking it out to see if that’s the case.

Anyway, now it’s off to curl up with my latest issue of Mystery Scene Magazine. I think another post on more books to add to the wish list will be coming up soon.

Erin over at The Paperback Stash tagged me for the 5 Things meme.

5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:
1. I was writing a lot of letters then as my husband and I were just pen pals
2. I was going salsa dancing a lot
3. I made my first trip to Europe and spent a couple of weeks in Spain. I got to see Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Cordoba and Granada. It was a whirlwind so I need to go back one of these days.
4. Scrapbooking was one of my favorite hobbies
5. I started keeping my first reading journal. It’s fun to see which books I was so excited about then: The House on Mango Street, Corelli’s Mandolin, The Remains of the Day, Confederacy of Dunces, Palace Walk, and many others.

5 Things on my To-Do List today (this will be Monday’s to-do list):
