Over the last few weeks, my books lists have gone crazy. First, I discovered that I can request ILL books over the internet at the university library. Then I found that they will deilver said books to my husband's office, and he delivers them to our house. At every other library I've used, ILL is inconvenient, so I haven't used it much. But ILL books delivered right to my home! This is a great system. I have a list right now of 50 books to request, and since I can request anything it is sure to continue growing.
Then MFS at Mental Multivitamin posted a list of biographies. I've been reading M-Mv since she started her blog and I have enjoyed many of her recommendations. I've generally been able to keep up with the ones she recommends that I want to read, but her biography list has slowed me down. By the way, if you haven't been to her site, visit! It's lovely to read.
Then Melissa and Julie started book blogs and I don't have a prayer of keeping up anymore.
What it really comes down to is that I trust the opinions of MFS, Melissa, and Julie. I've enjoyed many of the books Melissa has enjoyed, and I've read several she recommends and liked them very much.
But who can complain? To know that there are so many good books just waiting out there makes me happy.

Wow! Thanks for the kind words... and the nod. So glad to know M-mv still has appeal. I'm cobbling together the December "On the nightstand..." entry. Uh-oh. More books for your list, eh?
(*grin*)
Happy and healthy holidays to you and yours.
Where would I go? If I wanted a restful vacation, I'd go to Scotland. If I wanted a busy one, I'd go to China.
If I wanted to drive, not fly, I'd either go to the Grand Canyon, New England, my sister's in Florida, or the Canadian Rockies--or maybe I'd visit Kim in ON...Any ideas on how to get the farmer off the farm?
