I know that since I’ve had my blog my list of books I want to read has grown so much that every once in a while I think about just chucking it. A good book will find me somehow right? Well, I’m obsessive about books so I’m sure I won’t throw out the list but I do have a question for all of you who also keep reading lists.

Do you make a note of where you first heard about the book? From another book blogger, the newspaper, etc.? The reason I ask is because someone recommended a mystery book to me last year and I just read it this weekend. When I first started writing this blog entry I was going to say “thank you (insert book blogger’s name)” but now I can’t remember who suggested the book to me.

So I’d just like to see how some of you manage that or if you even bother with that at all. I guess it doesn’t really matter but because I’ve been compiling my TBR list for a good five to seven years I’d like to remember why the book got on my list in the first place.

Oh so what was the mystery book? Except the Dying by Maureen Jennings. Excellent period mystery which I’ll review soon.

Saturday I had a great day filled with books and crafts as I met up with my crafty group at big Half Price Bookstore in Dallas. Honestly, could anything be better than that?

We began by making a couple of valentine’s day cards and then spent some time oohing and aahing over the creations some of the members brought to show off. I’m always amazed and energized by the creativity these ladies have. Next month we are going to work on shrines. I can’t wait.

After the crafting, I spent a bit of time at the bookstore perusing the Clearance books. I found these for $1 each. The Mammy by Brendan O’Carroll, Hotel World by Ali Smith and Troll by Johanna Sinisalo.

I spent a good portion of the weekend crafting and just wish I had gotten more reading done. Why is there never enough time. I’m still enjoying all of the books I mentioned in my previous post and I did add a mystery to the mix. I’ll tell you about that one tomorrow.
