New books

I'm still making an attempt to post. I know, I know, its been a month since my last post. I still have plenty I want to post about, just rarely do I get the time to. Luckily I think I have gotten the hang of things and everything has begun to slow down a bit. Our oldest is in preschool now and loving every minute of it. Izzy and I are getting A's and B's and have managed to get some sort of schedule down, however hectic it may be.
I've also taken on two new books to read, Wicca the Complete Craft by D.J. Conway and The Element Encyclopedia of Birthdays by Theresa Cheung. I have heard a lot of great things about D.J. Conway's books and so I look forward to reading this one. As I have said before, I am not wiccan. That doesn't mean I don't wish to learn all I can about different pagan paths. It's always better to study a wide variety and decide your own beliefs than to read one book and decide its your new bible!
So far the Element encyclopedia has been very interesting. I enjoyed reading about my birthday and various family and friends, and Izzy and our friends all had fun looking up their own birthdays. There's also a nice introductory section.
Border's is currently going out of business, so the stores all over the country are having huge sales. Now is the time to buy books if you have always been unable to due to the high cost of some books. I believe the end of september is when they close their doors for good, the closer it gets to that day the better the sales get. But remember, the selection will be pretty sparse the closer that day gets too!
Hope everyone still has some interest in this blog. And good luck to all those of you who are back in school now or will be starting school very soon!
