I just can't decide what to read next. Maybe I'll try one of the new 1001 Children's Books today.

I want to read the Good Girl's Guide to Getting Lost! It sounds like a great read! I didn't know about the Jules Verne book either, I will have to read that as well. :)

I loved The Wishing Thread, I hope that you do too. :)

I am enjoying The Wishing Thread greatly. The Good Girl's Guide to Getting Lost was a fun read. I love travel memoirs, and this was a good one!

Oh man - I totally spaced The Song of the Quarkbeast! I read the first one last month and was looking forward to the next one but somehow got it in my head that it wasn't out yet.

It's been out for a few months - I got it for my birthday in August. You should definitely pick up a copy. It's great!

The Jules Verne one certainly looks interesting... never heard of that one before. I love the futuristic look of the cover.

    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.

    You can contact me at [email protected].
