Welcome to this week’sTuesday List. It’s not quite as creepy as the title might suggest. Honestly. You can come out from behind the sofa now.
To begin with, this week, I would like to remind you all that The Book Stacks is up for a Blogger’s Choice Award, so if you would be so kind as to pop along and vote for me, I’d be much obliged. The next Cover to Cover book is The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, so please join me for a discussion of this book on June 22, 2007 (that’s a week from Friday.) If you have suggestions for books that you would like to see discussed in a future Cover to Cover, feel free to comment anytime with your titles. My second A Book By Any Other Name challenge has begun this week. The goal is a bit higher this time around. If you wish to participate, just take a look at Monday’s post. Well, that’s enough site news for now.
Have you been reading anything interesting lately? Comment and let me know. And now, my current list:
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde – This is the book for the next Cover to Cover. It’s quite interesting so far.
Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: A Reader’s Companion edited by Stephen Hawking – I’m making slow progress, but that’s better than no progress.
Doctor Who: The Inside Story by Gary Russell – I love informational books about TV Shows.
I hope that I have some time to read this week…

Welcome to this week’sTuesday List. I feel the sudden need to dig out my Monty Python script books for some reason. Hmmm…why could that be? *grin* Anyway, don’t forget that the next Cover to Cover book is Mars Needs Moms! by Berkeley Breathed and we will be discussing it this Friday (June 8). I am also accepting suggestions for the next book. If no one speaks up, I will go to my back up list of Fantasy books. My A Book By Any Other Name challenge has finally ended this week. All in one day, in fact. Stop by Saturday to see my forfeit: a poem I wrote in High School. Keep an eye out for the next challenge.
Have you been reading anything interesting lately? Comment and let me know. And now, my current list:
Mars Needs Moms! by Berkeley Breathed – This is the book for the next Cover to Cover. I quite enjoyed it.
Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: A Reader’s Companion edited by Stephen Hawking – Quite a nice little book.
Doctor Who: The Inside Story by Gary Russell – I read a whole chapter more. Now I know that Christopher Eccleston only ever signed up for one series.
If you have suggestions for Cover to Cover, please let me know. I *will* expect you to participate if we use the suggestion, though.

Welcome to this week’sTuesday List. …Which is not as Impossible as it might seem. This week, anyway. Anyway, the next Cover to Cover book is Mars Needs Moms! by Berkeley Breathed.

Welcome to the Tuesday List. I am dedicating this week’s Tuesday List to my Nana, who says that Tuesdays with Morrie reminds her of my Grandpa Dan. (Yes, the book is on my ever expanding “to read†list.)
Anyway, this Friday is the very first Book Stacks Book Club, which I have decided to call Cover to Cover. Have you found a copy of the book yet? Also, my A Book By Any Other Name challenge has begun its second week. Can you come up with some titles? Check out Monday’s post for the rules.
Have you been reading anything interesting lately? Comment and let me know. And now, my current list:
The Children Of Húrin by J. R. R. Tolkien – The first book for Cover to Cover to be discussed on 25 May 2007, so be sure to get a hold of a copy before then.
Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: A Reader’s Companion edited by Stephen Hawking – I’m enjoying how this is both a biography and an informational science book. If you want to know more about the folks who figured out black holes, read this book.
Speaking of Silents: First Ladies of the Screen by William M. Drew – I need to finish this one soon, so that I can return it to the library.
Doctor Who: The Inside Story by Gary Russell – I’m slowly inching my way along.
Well, I have to go work on my Tolkien book. TTFN.

You know, this week’s Tuesday List title makes me think that I should add a book in another language. I mean, I *do* have a degree in French. Perhaps I should use it once in a while? Speaking of which, Jason over at Writers Unbound recently posted his reading list and it includes a book that I have never actually read in English. Do you have your reading list posted anywhere? Well, on to my list. Have a suggestion? Please let me know.
How to Buy a Home When You Can’t Afford It by Robert Irwin – Well, It turns out I really can’t afford a place (in my area) right now, so…I may stop reading this one.
Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: A Reader’s Companion edited by Stephen Hawking – Wow! I’m halfway through. This is really interesting!
Speaking of Silents: First Ladies of the Screen by William M. Drew – I read a whole one more page this week.
Doctor Who: The Inside Story by Gary Russell – I really need more time in my day. I tend to read this one a bit before bed.
Actually, I may be starting some new books later this week, but it depends upon how much writing I get done.

And Now…The Tuesday List! Yes, I need more time in my day. Does anyone have some that I could borrow? Ah well. Keep those suggestions coming! Now, onto the list:
How to Survive a Robot Uprising by Daniel H. Wilson – A Luddite Love song. Nearly done!
How to Buy a Home When You Can’t Afford It by Robert Irwin – Apparently I *may* actually be able to afford a place. Not sure that I’ll be able to afford that much of a place, though. Especially not in the SF Bay area. sigh.
Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time: A Reader’s Companion edited by Stephen Hawking – My new book for bathroom reading. Don’t laugh. You know you do it too.
Speaking of Silents: First Ladies of the Screen by William M. Drew – Still loving it.

Now, if I could just pause time so I could take a nap and read for a while… Wouldn’t that be lovely?
