I've been reading

A couple months ago, Justin and I decided to forgo the TV. We only had the basic channels, but even with just that, I realized I had an addiction. As soon as the kids would go to bed, I'd plop on the couch, and watch whatever was on. I didn't care. I'd eat my bowl of Joe's O's and zone out until I was too tired to wash my face (but I'd always brush my teeth) and climb into bed. I could actually feel myself getting dumber.

Justin totally supported me in giving it up and I have no regrets, although sometimes I still miss it. I have caught up on a few episodes of 'Parks and Rec' and 'Modern Family' on the computer, so I still get my laughs in.

But now, I have so much more time to read. Justin too. He usually cranks through a book in a day or two. I've never met anyone like him. Me, I take a while, but I soak up every word. So this is what I've been up to...

I just started this one. So far, it's pretty amazing. And the crazy part is that it's true!

I'm also half way through this book about siblings. I've been having a problem with Charlie and Dylan being best friends and worst enemies, so this book came highly recommended. It makes so much sense. I have a lot of changes that I need to make, but I'm excited to get started.

'These is my Words' is one of my top three books of all time ever ever ever. SO GOOD! I couldn't put it down.


I HATED this book for the first 300 pages. But because I'm OCD, I had to finish, and I'm so glad I did. The only word to describe what I did when I finished the book is wept. Flat out sobbed. It's about a German family during WWII but it's written from the perspective of the Grim Reaper. So good. So so good.

I am now dumber from reading 'Graceling.' The heroine annoyed me.

'Gracelin O'Malley' was another amazing book. It's historical fiction about the Irish potato famine. Hated the ending, so I can't wait to read the sequel.
