This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.
Gotta love this Michigan weather. A week of snow, then warmth and rain on Friday, has turned my driveway into a sheet of ice. I literally went down it sideways on Sunday morning. It's a good thing the roads were clear, because I got to meet a friend for lunch on Saturday that I hadn't seen in awhile! Now we've got a frigid wind blowing and negative wind chills. Good day to stay inside and read!

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (This is our book club book for January. The writing is just beautiful!)
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (I met my goal for the second week! 210 out of 1,361 pages complete!)

What's Coming Up Next

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
