My #1 Blog Reader (other than my Mom) was in town to visit this weekend, and gave me some constructive blog criticism which I readily accepted. After the scathing reviews I have been known to give books, I should be able to take a little advice as well. Sure, I don’t expect people to pay $13.95 to read this in paperback or $24.95 for the hardback edition but I am still committed to my no longer plummeting(!) readership.

| Someone Who Doesn't Have a Blog But Is Full of Advice & World's Best Dog Norman |
Her advice: more pictures. Therefore included in today’s blog is a photo of #1 Blog Reader and World’s Best Dog Norman. I am taking this advice seriously, and not pushing back with arguments like “reading is not exactly a photogenic activity” or “where’s your blog, Mrs. Perfect”? That’s just not my style.
Back to reading. Here are the three books I lent to #1 Reader, since she always gives them back to me when she is finished:
· Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks. This is rapidly becoming one of my lent books and you are probably sick of hearing me write about it, loyal readers.
· Empress Orchid by Anchee Min. I think this book was based on the true story of a girl who went from poverty to the Empress of China. I like books about Asian royalty – the opulence, interesting traditions and creepy food are fascinating.
· On Hitler's Mountain: Overcoming the Legacy of a Nazi Childhood by Irmgard A. Hunt. You know I love a good memoir. This one is about a girl whose parents were Nazis and she was brought up on the mountain where Hitler’s headquarters were located. Very interesting (and true) story.
#1 Blog Reader, I hope you enjoy these books. Even though there aren’t pictures in them.
