I am loving this book! From slightly sentient sourdough starter to zombie crayfish I cannot wait to see how Mona, the fourteen year old magiker, (only baking magic) fares in this fantastic fairytale.

I'm rereading some old romance books that I remembered liking long ago. The two I already read were okay....forgot what I read already. This one is just different enough that it's keeping me entertained.

Nancy is 50% done with All about Me!: My Remarkable Life in Show Business
I was so surprised that this is a very boring book. I love Mel Brooks, at least I love his movies, and expected a little better quality of writing here. I will skip to the chapter about one of my favorites, "My Favorite Year," then send it back to the library. Thank the gods I didn't buy this one.

All about Me!: My Remarkable Life in Show Business

Nancy
Nancy is starting The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft
I started with just reading three stories...."The Colour out of Space, The Call of Cuthulu and The Silver Key." Those three were interesting in their way...the language and way Lovecraft writes is a little dense. I couldn't find a way to make the actual story flow better, but I really enjoyed "The Colour Out of Space." Will read more when I feel like working at them.

I forgot that I dislike this Dicken's book. Oh well, that's what age will do to you, everything is like new, reading for the first time. LOL! I won't waste any more time on this one.

Nancy is on page 124 of 370 of Rosehaven (Medieval Song, #5)
Rereading this Medieval mess of a "historical romance." I see here I gave it five stars 24 years or so ago when I first read it. Wow, times have changed. I know it won't be getting that many starts this time. Already starting to bore me and the story hasn't really even started.

Nancy is on page 263 of 512 of Miss Marjoribanks (Chronicles of Carlingford, #5)
DNF I tried to like this book. It got great reviews, compared to Jane Austen's "Emma" but with a nicer protagonist. Sorry, I am bored to tears. I love all Austen's works, but this, almost 500 page endurance contest won. I will not be finishing this. I do not really care what happens to Miss Marjoribanks or anyone in the town of Carlingford.

I have a terrible memory, or I may have just lied....but I do not think I have ever read this before, and definitely not seven times!! I feel like this is my very first time discovering the wonder that is "The Lord of the Rings. My only regret is that I'm 65 years old and don't have enough years left to reread this piece of literary genius every year for another 65 years!!

Nancy is on page 22 of 464 of The Wonderling
Rereading "The Wonderling" by Mira Bartok. My tired brain and weary spirit in these dark, wintry and worrying days need the beautiful illustrations and gorgeously done story that resides within the pages of this middle grade fantasy book.

Bored....need to leave this for awhile and read a light, lyrical uplifting, great story right now. Time to reread "The Wonderling."
