Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

4 Book Report

If you would like to borrow any of the following, I now own them all.

2 weeks ago:

Impossible

by Nancy Werlin (B+)

This was a fairy tale in the old sense, where not everything that is magic is nice and sweet. I bought it at the bookstore since I couldn’t wait till my online ordered books (see below) were delivered. When the urge to binge read comes, I must have my drug.


Last Week :

Conspiracy of KingsA Conspiracy of Kings

by Megan Turner (A-)

This is the 4th book in a series of potentially 6. I read the first 3 a few months ago after my sisters and mother suggested them. This one just came out this month, too. They are really good books, although they do start off slow. Give them a chance!

The Thief Queen of  Attolia King of  Attolia

This Week:

The Girl Who Chased the Moon

by Sarah Addison Allen (A)

This is Sarah’s third book and it just came out this month. I loved her fairy tail, magical first two books ‘Garden Spells’ & ‘The Sugar Queen’ and have been waiting for this one. They are really quick reads that are fun.

Next week:

Uglies, Pretties, & Specials

by Scott Westerfeld

I’ve been looking at this series for a long time and finally ordered it. It should come any day now. I know there is a 4th book (Specials) that I guess I’ll have to get next, too. Have you read them?

0 Book Binge

I am starting in on a book binge. I'm so low energy and need an escape. I've ordered/bought 9 books in the past week (there goes the last of my Christmas cash). Most are still in the mail, so I've only read one (see directly below this post). If you are feeling the itch to read, then join our book blog {I think it is open for the public to read and I can have Devony add you as an author if you want to post.}
