The tea infuser is so cute -- I saw that on Amazon, and a friend bought one just like it. Oh, also -- have you ever shopped at Abebooks.com, online? They have such inexpensive books, often with free shipping. I've ordered from them dozens of times for homeschool and for myself, and have never been disappointed.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-68963301294534748302015-01-08T18:03:55.154-05:002015-01-08T18:03:55.154-05:00Little tea infuser gave me a big smile - very cute...Little tea infuser gave me a big smile - very cute indeed. You have a great list to pick from Deborah. I have read Margaret Jensen's First We Have Coffee so many times and given copies to friends - it is so good.

Next up, The Vacationers, by Emma Straub. We (mostly me) submit suggestions and vote after each meeting for the next. We meet every other month which is doable for most our group. <br /><br />Little Women, Unbroken, Bel Canto, Orphan Train - amazing! An Enchanted April, The Interestings, A Light Between Oceans, The Name of the Rose, All the Light We Cannot See, Great Expectations on my personal TBR stack.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09512504177659003307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-63111109350775002692015-01-06T15:22:32.278-05:002015-01-06T15:22:32.278-05:00Mr. Tea is adorable!

I've got All the Light We Cannot See up on my table to begin when I've finished Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon. Til We Have Faces by Lewis is a classic.
