The Tuesday List With a Side of News

by Elisa

Welcome to this week’s Tuesday List. Before I begin, I would like to let you know that another famous author has left us. Robert Jordan, whose real name was James Oliver Rigney Jr., has passed on at the age of 58. The author of the Wheel of Time series was taken from us by a rare blood disease. Mr. Jordan, you will be missed.

Reminders: I am still accepting submissions for “Favorite Reading Spots,” with or without photos, at this time. So why not send me yours?

The Monday Game (a.k.a. A Book By Any Other Name) has begun anew. The goal is currently 53, and the forfeit is now a poem. Stop by and check it out!

Have you been reading anything interesting lately? Please comment and let me know. And now, my current list:

Bird by Bird by Ann Lamott - I’m reading along at Fiction Scribe. Sadly, I’ve fallen behind. I will catch up, never fear.

Organizing from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern - All this time I’ve been thinking that I’m skipping a generation and turning into my Nana. Nope. The mere fact that I have checked out this book from the library proves that I am, in fact, turning into my Mum.

Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley - Anything to make my place a bit cleaner. This mess is making me mental.

Doctor Who: Creatures and Demons by Justin Richards - I’m on page 58. I need more time to read.

Mental_Floss (Sept./Oct. ‘07) - I love this magazine. Almost done!

Oh, hey! I would like to remind you all that The Book Stacks is up for a Blogger’s Choice Award, so if you would be so kind as to pop along and vote for me, I’d be much obliged.
