The Good Earth by Pearl Buck, one of my favorites and highly recommend it if you haven't read it already. What a fun giveaway and thanks for the opportunity; I particulary love the dishrags.

I can't enter! I haven't read a book in a long, long time.
Oh! wait, I read "Molly's Potty" today! it's a great book. Molly hates to have a soggy tush....No more diapers she says......
I just read "living the creative life" by rice freeman-zachary. It's a book that interviews different artists and is very inspiring- has great photos too.

p.s. your kiddos are adorable!
I've just finished enjoying two audiobooks from the library: "Mennonite in a Little Black Dress" (a memoir that is a bit humorous, a bit shocking) and "Ten Things Your Minister Wants to Tell You: But Can't Because He Needs the Job" by Oliver Thomas (an enjoyable progressive-Christian response to FAQ of faith).
As for the homemade goodies, I'm also prone to the dishrags, as I could use them and think fondly of you with the mundane housework! And that said, now I should probably get back to the dishes that I meant to do over an hr ago!!!
I'm reading "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Family Favorites" cook book. It's giving me some great ideas, but I wish I was reading "The Good Earth", like Lisa. I need to find more time to read books for pure enjoyment!
I just finished the novel What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day, and I did like it. I'm currently reading Virgins of Venice: Broken Vows and Cloistered Lives in the Renaissance Convent, because yes, I'm the nerd who reads nonfiction for fun. (And I'm also the geeky one who's annoyed because she can't figure out how to itallicize the titles!) :)
By the way, I think this contest is a great, fun idea!
I'll have to get The Good Earth. Looks like a good one. I read What looks like Ordinary....and enjoyed it. I think I have seen the cover of Living the creative life, and thought it looked good too.....Lots of great books out there and such little time!!!!

Karen,
I think I may own it and if so you can have it. I forgot about all the books in my nightstand until today so I've got some more for you.
Aimee, that would be AwEsOmE!!! I thank you with my whole heart for any books! I am reading Rebecca Well's "Little Altars Everywhere." I think you gave me that one? IT is good, but also sad...I am midway through it.
read? who has time to read? but kafka on the shore by murakami is my favorite book, if that helps!
am reading A Light in The Window by Jan Karon, the 2nd book in the Mitford series. I love these books...I just find myself smiling throughout them. I love all your creations, but I can't win your giveaway! You give me so many goodies!
Hi Karen! I just finished The Gathering Storm (The Wheel of Time book 12) by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. The best fantasy series that I've read.
Wow-
three in progress:
1) The Reluctant Fundamentalist (fiction)- a book group pick that keeps finding its way back into my hands when I should be doing something else. Good so far.
2) Predictably Irrational (non-fiction, social economics)- "I just can't quit you." It's good, but I'm reading it VERY slowly. Every time I think about walking away, I just can't stand the seperation.
3) The Checklist Manifesto (non-fiction)- looks good, but it's sidelined until Predictably Irrational is complete.
I just finished Peter Dexter's Deadwood which is kind of trashy but well-written and researched.
Dave Cullen's Columbine has given me a lot of food for thought (sociology type stuff) and reminded me of Jim Shepard's excellent book Project X.
