Reading is one of those things that I love with a passion but it took a back seat when kids came along.
I am determined to take time this year to feed my mind!
Here a few titles that are waiting patiently in my book basket (or my Kindle PC):
Organized Simplicity – FREE! Kindle ebook for a limited time -hurry!
Grace for the Good Girl (thanks Shellie!)

Eat Fat, lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (re-reading because there is such good info)
Is there anything on your reading list that you would recommend?
p.s. I post the free Kindle ebooks on my Facebook page.
Every year, starting way back when my oldest were teeny-tiny, I pull out a basket of books at the beginning of each holiday season.
My kiddos squeal with delight to see their old favorites!
It is so sweet to watch one of them snuggle up with Sweetpea and read a beloved book to her for the first time.
Here are several of the books in our Thanksgiving Basket:
A Turkey for Thanksgiving Mrs. Moose wants a turkey for Thanksgiving – a favorite!
One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims counting rhyme – a favorite!
Thanksgiving Day at Our House Thanksgiving Poems for the Very Young
Thanksgiving Mice! cute little mice put on a Thanksgiving play
Corn Is Maize interesting info on the use of corn by ancient Indians
Let’s Celebrate Thanksgiving interesting Q&A format about Thanksgiving
Cranberry Thanksgiving like the rest of the Cranberry series , this story has lots of amusing characters & mystery

I linked to Amazon so you can get a closer look, but you can probably find many of these in a used bookstore or on Paperbackswap. I like to collect them throughout the year at thrift stores.
