What I finished:
Royal Princes of Ruthenia- The perfect forget the laundry, the cat, the dog, go soak in a bubble bath up to your neck and oh was I supposed to cook dinner books. Really, I got lost in the romantic adventure and fun of these two stories.....

What the Cluck?! An Alternative Guide to Raising Chickens- Andrew Ayers- This was a great intro into the homesteading aspect of raising your own backyard chickens. I have wanted to raise my own chickens and eggs since I was a little girl on my grandparents farm. Alas, in 1980, the neighbors in little Carrollton , would have lost it if I had. Now though, it is cool to raise your own.

And last but certainly not least- Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed- It is letters from your cat about all the nutsy things they do. I laughed so hard I cried.

What an eclectic list! Lots of people I know have chickens...it seems a great idea and I'd love the fresh eggs but maybe not the extra work.

When I was first married in 1998, the old lady behind us had chickens and we thought she was crazy (she likely was, but not because of that). Now you're right, it's all the rage!
