BookFest History
I am trying to piece together the whole list of books I have purchased for BookFest - not only for historical purposes, but because it would really be helpful to KNOW. :)
I don't know that I ever dreamed we would be doing it this long, so I didn't keep the lists in one place, although I do have all the receipts and all the books are kept together with the occasional exception of a book that I read and then never put back with the right pile. :(

BookFest 2008
We had BookFest this year on Sunday, July 13. In my other blog, I said it was BookFest 13, but when I did the math, I think it is only 12...We started saving money in 1995, right before I went to WOU, and spent the money the following September in 1996...So, year 12 of buying, year 13 of the idea.
Anyway, here's what I got this year:
BOOKFEST 2008 Haul :)
An Obedient Father - Akhil Sharma
What is the What - David Eggers
Rush Home Road - Lori Lansens
The Tall Pine Polka - Lorna Landvik
Lost and Found - Carolyn Parkhurst
The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted - Elizabeth Berg

Enlightenment - Maureen Freely
Playing with the

Girls In Trucks - Katie Crouch
The Rope Walk = Carrie Brown
I can't wait to get started reading...right now I am finishing up "Tipping Point", so I will jump onto BookFest faire when I am done with that tone.
TTFN!

BookFest
I was talking with Kevin today at Chinese New Year and I decided to make a blog about Bookfest. The weird part is that there is already a blog called BookFest, so I'm gonna check it out.
I will be back.
I will be back.
