That's so kind of you to say - I really appreciate the encouragement! :) <br /><br />I've heard great things about Pearl in the Sand, and I actually have it on my TBR stack... I just haven't gotten around to it yet. *blush* But you should see my review of Harvest of Rubies sometime soon, Lord willing!<br /><br />So glad you stopped by! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-43592134844514062552012-07-30T01:07:08.157-06:002012-07-30T01:07:08.157-06:00Vince,

I'm especially curious about The Lifetime Reading Plan...<br /><br />And thank you for the kind words and the motivational push! Reading is definitely a worthwhile investment. :) I'll have to keep your comments in mind!<br /><br />Oh, and don't we all wish for more time to read?? :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-12988117790135748222012-07-30T01:04:30.639-06:002012-07-30T01:04:30.639-06:00Diana,

Short-Straw Bride is wonderful, and I'm so looking forward to Love's Reckoning (hoping to review it through the Revell blog program in September - *crossing fingers*). <br /><br />The volume of books can be overwhelming, but that's great that you're still looking forward to the task at hand! :) Happy reading to you, as well, and thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-29781896931871894612012-07-29T18:25:35.640-06:002012-07-29T18:25:35.640-06:00Great goal setting, Amber!

I'm impressed with your speed of reading, I'll bet you'll be through all these by the end of August easily. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing what you think of Harvest of Rubies.

With all this reading going on, it made...Hi Amber:<br /><br />With all this reading going on, it made me want to ask: “Do you have a lifetime reading plan?”<br /><br />When I was your age, just out of college, I read two books that have had an important impact on my life:<br /><br />“How to Read a Book” by Charles Van Doren and Mortimer J. Adler and The Lifetime Reading Plan by Clifton Fadiman. <br /><br />You have so much talent and energy. It might be wise to take time and plan how to use it to produce the most profound results. Reading can pay compound interest and the sooner it starts the greater the rewards. <br /><br />I have always wished I had had more time to read. : ) <br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-72134620122877483502012-07-29T06:26:39.286-06:002012-07-29T06:26:39.286-06:00I know all about the end of the summer push, Amber...I know all about the end of the summer push, Amber, and it seems like the hurrier I go the behinder I get. lol!
