Welcome to whatever is on my mind!

Some people use the term "nonsense" but I prefer to use the phrase "uncommonly sensed" because it's more reflective of creative types.

FF Blog Hop



 

Today I am participating in a blog hop to introduce myself and my readers to a few other book blogs.  For those of you who don't know what a "blog hop" is, you can think of it as a way to discover and follow other blogs that may be of interest to you.  This hop is hosted by  Parajunkee and Alison can Read.  Please browse through the list of participating blogs below to visit and/or follow as many as you'd like.  Along with the list of blogs, the hop asks participating blogs to answer the following question:



Q: What is the best book you’ve read in the last month? What is the worst book you’ve read in the last month?

Best book I have read this month: A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle.  More on this book in a future post.

Worst book: Lingua Latina.  The book has been a slow form of torture for myself and several others during the past year.  No further comments.

    Madeline L'Engle will always be a favorite of mine. I'll be sure to add that one to my TBR list! And Miyazaki is just a joy. :)

    I didn't know your books but it sounds nice for your best one. I hope you'll not have a lot of other worst novels like that.

    Hi Amy- Hmmm...
    Best Books: The Hunger Games
    Worst Book: Oddly enough- because I love Phillipa Gregory, The Red Queen- I just couldn't get into it. I loved A Wind in the Door and A Wrinkle in Time- fabulous stories! ~ Jess
