I started reading a book called Skinny Dipping by Janet Lembke. She's a bit of an academic for my taste, but her affinity for water and, well, skinny dipping  keep me turning pages.
What are you reading now?

Sherri - I ordered the 1st one. It's beefier - lots of recipes - more for grownups to share with kids. The other one is more of a children's book, I think. The 1st one DOES have excerpts of the Little House books, so Laura Ingalls should be included as an author on that one too. Hope that helps!
Now I'm off to follow your link to A Reasonable Life...thanks!

Jen - which Little House Cookbook are you reading? I had one when my kids were little and loved it and would like to replace it, so I looked on half.com and they have two different ones.
They have this one:
http://product.half.ebay.com/The-Little-House-Cookbook_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ17821
and this one:
http://product.half.ebay.com/My-Little-House-Cookbook_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ22052
I was thinking the first one was the one I used to have, but the second one lists Laura Wilder as one of the authors and I was thinking that was right too. I'm really mixed up now! |

Hey, if you want a good book that will really get you thinking read "Plan B 3.0" by Lester R Brown. It is right up our alley!

I just ordered, well received, an old copy of The Little House Cookbook. Does anybody else have it? It may be more of a novelty than anything else, but I'm already enjoying the nice intro & dreaming on some hasty pudding!

I just finished AVM. It was a great read. Right now I am doing some pleasure reading/listening to audiobooks on my MP3 player as I clean the house! :D

Wow, Jo - that looks like one I need to get. I had a couple close encounters with a barn owl a few years ago that left me feeling touched by something mythical. I love owls...

I just started a new book called Try by Lily Burana. I bought it because Amazon recommended it for readers who like Pam Houston. So far it's keeping me reading, but not Pam. I've gotten so darn picky about what I read. Maybe I'll warm up to it more as I go.

I agree Jen, I just love how her books and magazines are put together. They're not so "by the book" Right now I am reading, Journey Of The Pink Dolphins, and it is great so far. What are some of you favorite authors?

I'm so excited about MJ's new book - and I can tell you it is gorgeous. Of course, I am a bit biased seeing as how there are bunches of photos of my kids in it! Such a thrill!! It is truly an outpost girl's dream, though - packed with info for the novice and seasoned outdoorswoman alike. I just love the format of MJ's books and magazines because they're broken down into these beautiful bite-sized pieces that you can savor whenever you get a moment to yourself.

I really enjoyed Libbie's article too. Did you see the ad for Maryjane's new book? I love it! Love it as much as Jen's book A Mile in her Book. Do you know who took the picture? JoAnn |

I FINALLY got mine yesterday, Libbie - I've been so anxious. I loved reading your story. How inspiring it must be to have all that heritage rooted right there on your own farm. It made me think about how much I'd like to begin that tradition for my family...in spite of my wandering urges. An enduring homestead is a beautiful thing.
The magazine is of course delightful in its entirety -- so much down-to-earth inspiration on every page. I'm hooked again!
