 <title>FIMBY Goodreads</title>
 <link>http://fimby.tougas.net/FIMBY_goodreads</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in the days before I spent all my spare time creating &lt;a href=&quot;/Whats_Fimby&quot;&gt;FIMBY&lt;/a&gt; I used to respond to family e-mails (sorry guys I haven&#039;t forgotten about you), watch movies with my husband, write the occasional blog, take hot baths, make luscious homemade soap, go to bed at a decent hour &lt;i&gt;AND&lt;/i&gt; read just for the fun of it.  Lots of books, I love to read.  A friend had introduced me to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/&quot;&gt;Goodreads&lt;/a&gt; where I started to keep track, in my spare time, of my favorite books I read in my spare time!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well I&#039;m very happy to report that the intense start up of FIMBY is coming to an end and I hopefully will be reading once more and going to be earlier than 11pm.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Goodreads has these cool applications called widgets that I imported to the first 5 sections of my blog - first 5 in header menu. Even if you are aren&#039;t a member of Goodreads (it&#039;s free by the way) you can hover over the book pictures in my blog sidebar and see the title, author and my star rating below.   Not making sense?? Just try it and see what I mean.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/The_Homestead&quot;&gt;The Homestead&lt;/a&gt; page has Homestead Reads which is my widget for home &amp;amp; garden related books such as cookbooks or gardening.  For homeschooling and parenting type books check &lt;a href=&quot;/Mama_Speak&quot;&gt;Mama Speak&lt;/a&gt;.  Or if you want to know what I read for pleasure see Fine Reads in &lt;a href=&quot;/Finer_Points&quot;&gt;Finer Points&lt;/a&gt;.  I have a widget for each main page, check them out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And of course I didn&#039;t want to neglect good children&#039;s books which I love just as much as my &#039;adult&#039; reading material.  I haven&#039;t put much in here, hard to keep up since I read several books to the kids everyday - that&#039;s a lot of books.&lt;span class=&quot;inline center&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
