my readings

I am an avid reader. My 'to read' list is always a mile long and I can never catch up! I'm always in the middle of (at least) one great book (the latest are North and South, The Circle Series, and Mara, Daughter of the Nile). If I can't read books just for fun and all I have time for is school reading my life is MISERABLE. I HAVE to find time to read :). Whether you're like me or just enjoy the occasional book (or are in between), read the lists below and see what we have in common. I love discussing what I have read. Or tell me what you're reading. I'd love to hear what you're favorite books are!

These are my favorites (things I'll read again and again):
