    Such an adorable book teapot. I see you are “steeped” in some deep reading. Wow!

          I have time to read now and I make it a priority. It is a good escape from the winter. 🙂 I need to read a beach themed book.

    You’ve read this many books already? I am beyond impressed. Numbers 4 and 5 have titles that really interest me. I’m jotting them down right now to see if my library system has them.

    That book-themed teapot is one of my favs in your collection thus far.

      Number 4 is really interesting—it is all written in letter form so it is a little different. Number 5 is the book by my Mason City blogger friend and I believe it is only in e-book format so you probably won’t be able to find it in the library. And yes–the teapot is my favorite one, too. 🙂

    Cute tea-pot. Impressive book list for just over 30 days. If you lived here you would be home by now looks good! I just Kindled The Circle by Dave Eggers and started to read it. So far it’s ok, it needs to pick up….

    What a cute teapot and it’s not even “Teapot Tuesday”! Love it – I do have a question though – how do you store/display all of your teapots? Oh my what a collection you must have. For me I’m trying to read the bible through this year; just a wee bit behind, but that’s my book list for the year!

    I really like your book teapot on top of your book list. I love books also and that is why I have my book lamp. Keep reading.

    Well done you. Love the teapot of course. I thoroughly enjoyed Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer. One book I could read again. I’m lucky to read 2 -3 books a month.

      I would read that book again, too, Darlene. It was a really interesting way of presenting a book in letter form.

      I just saw that you mentioned Cat Herzog’s book so I downloaded it. 🙂 I am a reader and it is a great activity for good winter Iowa days. Ugh. Sara’s book is a quick read—short and ebook format. I like to read books that “regular” people have written—-people that I actually might meet. 🙂
