An Abundance of Riches

"Just the knowledge that a good book is waiting at the end of the day makes that day happier." -Kathleen Morris

Have you ever suffered from the "problem" of having too much good stuff to read? For my birthday tomorrow, my young daughters have each wrapped two books that I bought for myself at the book store. Simultaneously, I received an e-mail from my local library advising me that several books placed on hold are now ready for pickup (and a few more are "in transit" too). Not to mention that my in-laws sent several wrapped books, probably legal thrillers.

So now I find myself with so much waiting for me to dive into! Here's some of what's on deck:

*




















Juicy Pens, Thirsty Paper: Gifting the World with Your Words and Stories, and Creating the Time and Energy to Actually Do It

I own most of SARK's previous books. They always inspire my creativity.

Old Friend from Far Away is a great book, I actually did an interview with Natalie here on WOW! She is a neat person to visit with. I met up with her at a writing conference a few years back. Love her work and her ideas. She has great energy to work from. Her books talk to you and really get you to think!

Happy Reading!
