Sorry... I got tagged... we love books!!!
I promise I am not going to do another meme after this one. Really.
Teri tagged me for this book meme:
1. Total Number of Books Owned:
I have no idea how many books we have - maybe one thousand??? Eric, Dorothy and I each have tons. Amelia and Zoe have some, as does Owen.
2. Last Book Bought:
The Real History Behind the Davinci Code (Sharan Newman) ... bought this on my trip out west... really interesting.
3. Last Book Read:
Angels and Demons (Dan Brown)... which is the prequel to the Davinci Code... which I loved.
4. Five Books that mean alot to me:
Agatha Christie murder mysteries... I own almost every book she wrote, about 78 of them.
Leon Uris books - especially Trinity, Exodus and Mila 18. These books opened my eyes to history and a love of historical fiction books.
Margaret Atwood books - great Canadian author - especially: Cat's Eye, Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace. (all amazing stories about women and girls)
Learned Optimism - Martin Seligman - this is a neat book if you have any anxious, pessimists in your family... very wonderful way of understanding how optimism can be learned - how to change perceptions of negativity.
My favorite kids books:
Grasshopper on the Road - Arnold Lobel. - which teaches all ages about the many different types of people in the world and that they are all ok - tolerance and diversity - and exploration of our wonderful world.
Jenna and the Troublemaker - Hiawyn Oram - a simple story about a girl who has problems and has the chance to trade them for other problems and realizes her problems are actually manageable.
I tag: Gina, Carrie, Amy, Valerie, and of course, my favorite teacher, Holly.
