I wouldn't want to wear the party dress, though, maybe my pink faux crocs. <br /><br />The best thing about blogging is you can do it in your pj's, your birthday suit or your husband's pj's (like me today!) Have y'all discussed blogger fashion yet? LOL! Are there any agent types there you could discuss books with? Now that would make it worth the party dress, fer shure! Hurry home, okay?

I'm pretty good at the dust collecting. <br /><br />This one sounds intriguing though. And I have to say, sitting in the blogging conference right now and I am struck by just how large blogging is. I mean, IT'S HUGE, TINY ELVIS! As many people as there are there are motivations for blogging. Astounding really and I've totally frigged the conference by only sitting in on one session. But there is more to life than sitting in a chair or wearing a party dress. Afterall, there's sitting by a river...Woman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-23513519014392810722009-07-24T19:38:43.919-05:002009-07-24T19:38:43.919-05:00Kelly, the hard part is you only get to pick TWO b...Kelly, the hard part is you only get to pick TWO books.

Don't laugh, but I have a book of quotes about books and people who love them...that's the thing about books...there's one for everything!! Blessings!<br /><br />Rick, don't be scared off by my weird taste in books at Amazon. I used to review everything I read, then I got more discrimininating and only reviewed books that blew me away. (When I was working full-time and had two kids at home I only read about 2 - 3 books per week. I could read while cooking, doing laundry, eating, vacuuming, etc. I taught my girls to always have a book in their hands/pockets and now, even my husband reads like that...I brainwashed them ALL! HA!) Thanks for the trust, but do you read chick lit? LOL!

I just read your comment about being an addict, and I can honestly say: My name is Karen and I'm a bookaholic. (...but I don't want a lose this addiction ever!)<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendation and the quote about books and rivers.

I've slowed down quite a bit in the last year or so, but I used to read like 4 or 5 books a week. I'm mellowing out some and reading and writing more poetry lately. I've used books to escape reality for most of my life, but now I'm chillin' and enjoying the view more. I'm reading my second book from 'Vine' now and it's hilarious. My oldest daughter tried to steal it to take to the beach with her on their vacation, but I caught her. LOL! They go to the beach, I'm babysitting 2 of their cats. UGH!

It's a true gift. I will definitely buy Undiscovered Gyrl and give you a plug. And I always love to know what other people are reading!
