I read some great books this winter and we finished a project that I have been looking forward to having for some time now.  I'm going to confess, right up front, that I do judge a book by its cover.  At least until I read the inside cover or the back page of the book .. then I make the final decision on whether to go with it or put it back, thinking how pretty it is.  So lets get startd because I'm happy to say I read nine books this winter season.
