I’m getting excited that my reviews are getting close to hitting the 100 mark. I can’t imagine what it will feel like to hit 1,000! You are an inspiration to me.
Great blog! May I humbly suggest my novel, An Island Away, for your reading list. You can find links to excerpts and more at my blog, http://www.bentpage.wordpress.com. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks, Daniel! I went to your site and your book sounds exactly like what I need right now – an escape into paradise. I will keep my eyes open for it. Good luck with your second novel, too!
Don, that is so wonderful! Boy howdy do they pick on Peter Buck’s nose. My husband loves Nick Cave and I will have to send him that link. Thank you so much for sharing that. If you do find that picture of Bono’s driveway, can I use it in my review of U2 by U2?
My wife and I searched all through our photos from our Europe trip and through the garage and can’t find the photo (we did find our McTaco photo from Mexico, however). I did find a site you might like that has some photos of Bono’s home and other haunts around Dublin: http://www.atu2.com/dublin/
We had a great time at the game this weekend, even though it was hot as blazes. I hope to get up to the ‘Burg sometime this school year. I’d love to meet up with you when I do!
When I had my baby a year ago I set myself a goal of reading 100 books in his first year…didn’t make it as I didn’t realise only newborns slept all day!

Try reading “Goodnight Nobody” by Michael Knight. It’s a great read from a superior writer. I turned on to Knight when I attended a writers conference where he was on staff.
I have three books being printed as I type this and I would like to have you review them. They are called the Caribbean Chronicles Book One, Moxey’s Arrow, Book Two, Deacon’s Ascent, and Book Three, Arrow’s Revenge. I am working this week to update my website and will be going crazy trying to promote these titles over the next few months. How do I proceed to get a review from you or your site.
Hi Literate Housewife! I found you by following some of the links discussing Dewey. I wish I’d found her blog before she passed, she created a remarkable community. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts. I’ll be dropping in often!
Stumbled onto your sight looking for discussions on “Songs for the Missing”- and so glad I did. This is great and the idea of your blog being the ‘room above the garage’ is perfect!!! I never thought to set such a lofty goal -52- books!! Congrats! Life seems to get in the way of reading ever since having children, but I am making the commitment in 2009 to -make the time- for me!~ and books are what I miss most from years gone by..quickly looking at your site I think you are going to be an awesome resource and a great inspiration! Take Care- ~ Dawn

I set my goal of a book a week nearly twenty years ago and am still going strong nearly one thousand books later. Keep it up!

I absolutely LOVE your analogy of your blog being your room above the garage!
