If I read enough books... will I be more inspired to write my own?
I believe I will be. After all, it was reading middle grade novels to my children that made me want to write them in the first place.The last few months I've been working more on my webdesign business and less on writing... and I seek a better balance so I can continue to do both. At this point I'm taking time to work on a novel revision - trying for every day - but haven't written anything new in weeks.

Catherine, Called Birdy
I just listened to this book, on tape. It was a great recording but since the reader has a heavy English accent (very appropriate for the book) I had a hard time adjusting to it and missed some of the words. I'd like to read it again, in print.
Its a diary account of a young British woman who doesn't want to enter an arranged marriage. I liked the way her plight was compared to the lives of her caged birds.
