I feel like I haven’t been doing much reading or posting here, lately. Instead I’ve been getting things reading for the coming baby, and trying to plant some of my garden (much less ambitious there than usual). But I have been managing to follow along with all your reading adventures in my google reader, even if I don’t comment as much as I used to… and thus also adding to my TBR pile! Several of these books I’ve seen about time and time again, but the reviews linked to here are the ones that finally convinced me I want to read it too.

I notice that I’ve been adding to my lists even more books about gardening and self-sufficiency. I’ve really been wishing more and more that I could keep chickens or bees in my backyard. Think of it! Fresh eggs, bug control and wonderful fertilizer, all from a handful of hens. Wouldn’t that be great? O well. I think my next subject of focus is probably going to be books about backyard chickens, or any of these farming/gardening books in general.
