Throughout the years, I’ve made of countless lists of books I want to read based on book reviews, articles, friend and family recommendations. The lists last about a week before they disappear somewhere: Under my bed? In a drawer?
I am quite certain that when I die, I will be reunited with all the book lists I once created. They will occupy the same room in Heaven as all the socks that have gone missing from my dryer.
To combat all this wasted effort, I finally got on Goodreads.com, a website that allows me to keep my book lists in one place. If you are a reader and love books, definitely check this site out. Goodreads allows you to review books, share book ideas, and join up with friends so you can see what they are reading.
It has replaced my endless shreds of paper that keep getting lost. Even though Goodreads has been around for several years, I still run across lots of people that don’t even know about it. And if you join (it’s free), please friend me because I would love to see what everyone is reading. I always get lots of ideas from it.
But on to other things, like good food. Even though the trees are bare and summer seems a long way away, it’s not to early to think about joining a CSA for the coming year. Last year, I joined Wickham Farms CSA and loved getting fresh produce every week. You can view their website at www.wickhamfarms.com to learn more about their CSA or click on www.organicaginfo.org to read about CSAs or to find one in the Rochester area.
