Do you keep track of the books you have read? Years ago I used to do this with library books adding a few comments about each book. I would than give them a rating between 1 and 10. Now I wonder why I did this? You certainly have an established long line of readers in your family -- wonderful! -- thanks -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-52297497850932576452012-07-26T02:27:27.926-07:002012-07-26T02:27:27.926-07:00Love the photo Barbara...precious.

I married a man who loved to read and gave birth to two kids who love because we always read to them. My grandsons love to read, too, and a favorite gift is a gift card to Border's or Barnes & Noble. I have to be careful when I head to Books a Million to get my copy of Writer's Digest because I the bills money could evaporate if I succumb.
