  43. donnadmb – I love God and my family, like reviewing products, giveaways, cowboy boots, horses, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am the Mama of 3, Grand Mama of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I struggle daily with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, so I have a big heart, what's wrong with that? I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.

    I’d love to read all of the books on that list. I always think that if someone doesn’t want it read then the book is pretty good and has something of true value in it. A developing awareness of our world – sometimes even who we really might be (Bless Me Ultima — a high school read changed me, well, developed me into a wiser and more self aware person). I’d love to actually read the Twilight series but I think Persepolis would win my pick for something new and informative.
