Book Queue

I just set up the top shelf next to my desk to be my "reading queue".  Separate from my required readings for school, it's kind of awesome to have.  It's like a travel itinerary.

Coming up!
1.  Your Money or Your Life, Vicki Robin, Joe Dominguez, Monique Tilford - As Bunny says, it's so I can buy her more carrots.  I need to find a new way to think about money, because I'm operating on a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of money management that is not good for anyone.    
2.  The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke, Suze Orman - Intending to move out for the pending school year requires a whole lot more savvy than I possess. 
3.  Finding Me in France, Bobbi French - It's a book written by a Canadian child & adolescent psychiatrist who decided to uproot and move to Semur-en-Auxois in Burgandy, France.  I hope, I HOPE it's well-written.  This is THE premise for me right now.
4.  The Elements of Cooking, Michel Ruhlman - If this doesn't do the trick, I intend to request Ratio by the same author at the library.  I'm learning how to cook from real-life practice, but I figured it couldn't hurt to work in a little book learning.  Put it into science and I shall attempt to gobble it up.
5.  La petite maison dans la prairie, Laura Ingalls Wilder -  The Little House on the Prairie series were my first novels as a child, so it makes sense that they would be the same en Francais.  Problem?  I can't even read the title!  Au bord du ruisseau is the 2nd book, which my dictionary says means on the border of the creek, so I assume it's On the Banks of Plum Creek.  My dictionary will be my best friend while I go through this.
6.  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Stieg Larsson - Christine has the series and Pau has just finished this book, so it's my turn with it now.  Truth be told, I've been holding off on the series because it's big and it looks like it will hurt my pinky finger to hold it up when I'm reading in bed.  
7. Science Is Culture, edited by Adam Bly - Christine gave me this for this past Christmas.  Science IS culture?  I'm not sure about that, but I'd like to know what Seed Magazine thinks about it!  The book consists of a series of essays on subjects like Evolutionary Philosophy, Time, Music, Morality, and the Physics of Infinity. 
8.  The Help, Kathryn Stockett - It has a friendly yellow cover!
