I have just finished reading <I>Daily Life in the United States, 1920-1940</I> and also <I>Ghost in the Little House</I>. I have an interlibrary loan waiting for me to pick up (a media studies book by Henry Jenkins). I love American/British history 1880-1914 and homefront WWII the best; also certain biographies. (The two people I have the most biographies about are Louisa May Alcott and Walt Disney. Also love reading about Teddy Roosevelt, my favorite President.) I collect Christmas books that are not crafting or recipes, so I have many books about the history of the holiday, legends, and customs.) Oh, yes, and three shelves full of English linguistics books, including ones by Mario Pei, William Safire, and Richard Lederer.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684124498981972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-57086924158475475662008-02-20T07:27:00.000-05:002008-02-20T07:27:00.000-05:00Bellezza, that's what the books are for to give me...Bellezza, that's what the books are for to give me skills! :<)<BR/><BR/>K, those words were mine. Many people list or 'tag' others to do the blog, but I decided to just let whoever wants to do the meme to do it. Please do let me know when you have one, okay?<BR/><BR/>Lisa, there doesn't seem to ever be enough space, does there? When we finish books, we often give them to the library for their annual sale, unless they are books which we just love, or will want to look into again.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-62722847148016451122008-02-20T06:09:00.000-05:002008-02-20T06:09:00.000-05:00This meme made me take stock of my bookshelves.

I have such limited space that I only keep books I think I will read again. I'm still running out of space. :/Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-4657091602873530672008-02-20T02:49:00.000-05:002008-02-20T02:49:00.000-05:00I would dearly love to browse your bookshelves!!!I...I would dearly love to browse your bookshelves!!!<BR/>I'm not sure what was asked of people who have their own blog at the end of the article, I don't have one as yet but I clearly find my life richer by reading the blogs that I have discovered!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868517816392318853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-5306096027198978142008-02-19T22:36:00.000-05:002008-02-19T22:36:00.000-05:00Now, wildflowers and gardening...those areas are j...Now, wildflowers and gardening...those areas are just NOT skills of mine.
