Top 100 Book List

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

I’ll admit it.  I’m a book worm.  I love to read.  When I was a kid we had a rule.  No books at the table.  Since I come from a family of book worms, I have since figured out the rationale behind the rule.  We could have gone for days without speaking to each other if […]
