    I am inspired also! Sometimes I get in a rut-and am branching out the past few years to include fiction. Also your tackling this weekly book has been a reminder to take time to sit and read- like I used to! Keep reading and doing those book reports…

    Marley and Me was such a good book! I read it while on a plane from NYC to San Diego and I cried at the end. Kind of awkward on a plane…

    Your list has inspired me to create one of my own (especially since I love making lists). Good luck!
