playing catch up

one of my many many goals for this year is to read a book every week. so far i have kept this goal. (i won't bore you with more harry potter, but he did take up the first two weeks)

ender's game

by orson scott 

card

i decided to read it because madie loves it and it is where she got the name valentine (well one of the books anyways).... i couldn't put it down, a book that was to last the entire week instead took me a two days. the only thing that was hard for me was sometimes imagining a child going through all that ender goes through, and there were times when he was more like a little man in my mind than a child. i would definitely recommend ender's game to everyone.

confessions of a shopaholic, shopaholic takes manhattan and half of the third one

by sofie kinsella

i remembered that page loved these books so when i was at barnes and noble and it was sitting in the impulse buy section i thought why not. i really enjoyed it. it was a breezy read, i read the first book in a day and ran all around rexburg to find the second book, of all the places i went the unlikely k-mart which i had previously detested came through and about three hours later i was without the third book to keep my attention. no where in idaho has the third book, so lame, so lame. i read half of it while i was at the library with one of my kids from work, i am hoping tomorrow we go back and i can sneak in another couple of chapters. i will say that sometimes when she rambles on about prices and clothes i get a little bored, i never thought that would be something that would bore me but it does a little bit. any girl would enjoy these books i think, any boy would, i think, want to burn the book. 

coming soon..art of the month, woohoo...
