What I Want to Read This Week:
Well, I didn't get to my Trixie Belden's this past week and I don't think I'm even going to try to read them this week, so I've picked a few others instead.
The Noisy Seven: A Story of Seven Boys ~ Alice Pickford Brockway
Twenty-Four Hours A Day ~ Faith Baldwin
Under the Lilacs ~ Louisa May Alcott
An Old-Fashioned Girl ~ Louisa May Alcott
and maybe, just maybe
Kazan ~ James Oliver Curwood
Wish me luck, ya'll. All of the books on my list this week are OLD. And by old, I mean that the newest copy of any of the books listed above was printed in the 1950s. No offense to those of you who were born in that wonderful decade, but when it comes to books of that age, they aren't always in the greatest of shape. In fact, Helen in the Editor's Chair is actually a disaster. The published date in the book is 1932. I can guarantee you that particular book will never see the inside of my purse. :-) Anyway, my point in mentioning how old the books are is this. It is ever so much harder to read quickly and efficiently when you have to be careful and pay close attention to how you handle the pages. Don't get me wrong. I don't mishandle my books in anyway. In fact, I get teased by some people because even after reading a book twice, the spine isn't broken, and you really can't tell that I've read it.
Sheesh! Now that you've been given an entire history of how I read. LOL. What are you reading this Monday?

Hi Hannah! You tremendously have a lot in hands to finish!Way too jealous with you.But hope you your week and looking forward to read your review!
All these titles are new to me except for the Louisa May Alcott novels. I read all her books when I was young, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Have a great week!
Wow did you accomplish a lot of reading and this weeks list is rather long as well. I hope you meet your goal. Happy reading this week. My Monday is here: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/02/what-are-you-reading-mondays-1-february.html
No wonder I haven't heard of any of these books! I was starting to wonder if I was out of the loop. I do remember reading Trixie Belden books when I was younger. I liked them a lot.
Happy Reading!
Trixie Belden! Wow! I still have all of the originals (the hard-covers) from when I was a kid.
