1. Just Who Will You Be? - I have enjoyed Maria’s other books very much. Although I don’t agree with her politics, I enjoy her humanity and it comes through very well in her writing.
2. Bird By Bird - This was a recent birthday gift and I am looking forward to reading it. I have read several good reviews of it and I hope it will give me some good information about writing.
3. Too Busy Not To Pray - This is the text for a bible study group I am in. We are getting started in a few days so I have to get through the 1st chapter before our 1st meeting.
4. Making A Literary Life - Another book about writing…this one was an “impulse buy.” So far, I think it was a good one. This is one of the places where I read about writing 1000 words a day and I am giving that a try this week.
5. Bookstore – This is the story of Jeannette Watson and the famous Books & Co. in New York. It’s a great history book and wonderful to read about other people that love bookstores as an experience as much or more than as a marketplace.

Looks great! I need to get back in the habit of doing some freewriting in the mornings. When I write more it’s easier for me to write and I find that I’m more inspired.
Thanks for joining in!

I have read Too Busy Not to Pray a few times. It’s a good reminder on the importance of prayer if not a little formulaic, but still a worthwhile read.
