For those of you who are starting to read, here are a few things you can do/think about while reading. If you own the book, you can write it in, or if not, you can keep a little journal on the side. Write down any specific quotes you likes, questions, or thoughts you have as you are reading. That will make our discussion much better when we all finish! I think it would be easiest for all of us to 
Another idea which I need to do is to get a "Books I've Read" journal. I saw one at Powell's Books in downtown Portland, but it was a little expensive, so I'm going to see if I can find something cheaper or make my own. In it, you can list the name of different books you read, the author, the genre, the main character(s), plot, your recommendation, etc. Then you can remember what books you have read and what books you would recommend to others and to your own kids. Here is one I found online at amazon.com. If you click on the picture, it will take you to the website if you're interested.

I got a hold of the book last night and picked up a little readers journal. Barnes a noble have a bunch on the shelf in the journal section. It was $8 but I think its worth it to keep track of what I read. Don't you hate it when you can't remember the name of a book? Good idea Jess! Hope you are all well!
Love ya!
Um Don't tell anyone but I read that book in one night (sometimes not having a date is a good thing). I couldn't put it down.
