Books Read and Red

Since I shared with you a few of the titles in the blue notebook I thought would also share a few reviews from its companion the red notebook.

The Little Prince by Antoine de St. Exupery

This sweet story of love, devotion and magic will make you cry. A classic for all time it is no surprise that is is so well loved.

One Sunday Morning by Amy Ephron

A small book, ironically about the smallness of ourselves. The story takes place in the twenties but is very similar to an Edith Wharton story. A young lady is accidentally seen leaving a hotel with a young man who is engaged to her friend. Her peers - who watch from a window - assume the worst of her, and the story of both them and the young lady takes off from there. Since I am an Edith Wharton fan I enjoyed this book very much.

Both the blue and the red notebooks are slim Mead 1 subject notebooks. I used to keep them bound together with one of the gold elastics that comes around stationary. Our cat, Marcelle, decided she liked the gold elastic better as a cat toy. So now I keep them together with a plain rubber band.

Books to Read

I have two notebooks for books. The blue notebook is for books I would like to read. The red notebook is for notes on books I have read. Get it? I thought you would. The following list is from the first two pages of the blue notebook.

Quite a diverse list of books. The italicized titles are books I have since read. I also keep a list at Goodreads.com. The blue notebook has many more pages of books I want to read. It also has many empty pages to keep the list of books I want to read growing, it is one of the reasons I like the blue notebook so much.
