Orthopaedic Injuries of the Civil War: $43.45 and still dropping.

50bookchallenge:

no. 40 ~ The Quiet Little Woman by louisa may alcott. it's a story, but it's a book (of short stories), so i'm counting it. always enjoy alcott. these three Christmas tales were sweet and easy (just what i need right now). "Rosa's Tale" was especially amusing because it is about a talking horse (there's an old legend about animals being able to talk at midnight on Christmas as a reward for their silence in the manger). anyway, not much to report on this. i read it. it was good. a nice little book to hold in the hands.

i have ten books to read for december if i am going to make the challenge. i might make it ~ i have about seven books in various states of completion laying around the house and will finish them soon as all my work is turned in this week. i don't think Quicksilver will be among them (since i have about 700 pages to go on that one), but many of the books in my pile are more than half-read.

there is a lot i want to say right now, but i feel it's pointless.

i am struggling for a peaceful heart this season and a friend's post yesterday finally made me realize how much. those of you on my f-list who are inclined, please remember me in your prayers.
