Searching for a good read ...

Soo  .... I LOVE READING .. and BOOKS .. and MORE BOOKS ...

... I've been thinking a lot .. as you do .. and ..

I decided I want to extend the type of books I read in 2009 ..

Nope not a NY resolution .. just me ... trying something new ..

I posted on EBB about any online bookclubs .. and a reply mentioned Oprahs and NZWW

So I went and signed up for NZWW Bookclub .. and then went over to visit Oprahs BookClub friendly site ..

I copied the looonnng list and are going to check out the library to see if I can work backwards and get reading some of them ..

I'll keep the blog updated with my progress :-)
