Reading Frenzy

I am on my sixth book this year which seems pretty unheard of for me.  I think a big part of it is that the kids can entertain themselves a lot better at this time.  It frees up a little more time for me.  And I think I am finally starting to learn how to relax.  I will curl up on the couch with a book when I get the chance.  I started reading while I am waiting for Maura to get out of school.  And I have stumbled upon a group of good books lately.
I finished the Little Heathens on Saturday morning.  It was great!  I recommend it and I am excited to see what Grandma and Grandpa think of it when they are done reading it.
I am finally delving into Daughter of Fortune.  I will tell more when I get a little more into it.

Little Heathens

This book is giving me a picture in my head of what my grandparents experienced as youngsters. This biography really resembles lots of stories I have heard from my grandma when she tells of her childhood. I like it a lot and would definitely recommend it to several people I know.

Finishing Up

So, I finished A Touch of Dead this morning. It basically gave details to some of the things referred to by Sookie in the Sookie Stackhouse series. It answered a few questions. It was unnecessary but a welcome addition to the series. I enjoyed it and was able to finish it quickly.

I started on Little Heathens this morning right after completing A Touch of Dead. I am not too far in but it is interesting so far and I look forward to getting into it.

Dead in the Family

Last night I read for about an hour before bed instead of watching TV. I finished the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I started reading a bonus book by Charlaine Harris today. It isn't in order if read after book nine so I am not sure where it fits in yet.
I am really excited to start reading a book called Little Heathens. It was suggested by my great aunt. She said that it could have been written by herself or my grandma because it mirrors their way of life in the 30's and 40's. I am anxious to get a peek into that life from another view though I have heard lots of stories from my grandma.


I also started reading Daughter of Fortune a couple weeks ago. I think it is a good book. But I haven't reached that point of no return yet where I just can't put it down or wait to pick it up.

I have read a few cute books with the kids. Nolan has been very interested in the Beatrix Potter series. HE read Jeremy Fisher to me the other night. It was very adorable. He made up the story according to the pictures and I appreciated it greatly. It doesn't happen too often that I am read to.

Wow, so it's been a while

I have finished another Charlaine Harris book. Maura seems to take after my own heart and has several bookmarked books going. She has been participating in Book It. But she says she doesn't like Pizza Hut so she has three unused certificates for a free pizza.
I am reading Dead and Gone right now but I started reading Daughter of Fortune too! And I started Balck Christmas while I was waiting for Dead to the World to come into the library.
