So I'm trying to be better about reading. I enjoy a good book I just don't usually take the time to find one is the problem. Last summer I read the first book Twilight of the Twilight series and enjoyed that and need to read the next ones, which I will. This past week, though, I bought a new book that a friend at work told me about, it's called Escape. It is written by Carolyn Jessop who escaped from the FLDS community! While this book is very interesting and I have a hard time putting it down, it somewhat makes me angry....actually no, it flat out makes me angry! I know it will have a happy ending, after all she escapes right!? Well the book is about her life and wow is it depressing to read because of so much abuse and cruelty. I will say this, it certainly makes me VERY thankful to know what being loved really feels like. I will finish this book, I need to see the happily ever after!
I have decided to put the book aside until after the weekend! So I bought me a new book today to read on my little weekend road trip that mostly made me laugh just by the title, My French Whore by Gene Wilder! My friends and I had a good laugh at lunch picking it out! But I am very open to suggestions! The Twilight series will be my little adventure books, I need some suggestions that will make me laugh, but a good mystery is alway fun too!
So please....do share!

I am right smack dab in the middle of Twilight right now. Some things about it are kind of annoying me, but I am still enjoying it.
I heard those Twilight Series are totally awesome. I may have to read those. I love Jodi Picoult! She tends to have some language sometimes though. I have several if you are interested. Also, The Kite Runner is good too. I heard you were sick, hope you are feeling better.
okay...my good friend Kelsey just got into this "Twilight" business, and I remember you raving about it all last summer..so I think I may have to give it a try. Everybody is talking about it still...I think it may be the next Harry Potter at this rate.
I'll send you an invite to "Goodreads." It's this fun little thing where you get lots of "friends" to join in and you review and post books that you have read, or want to read. I'm not very good at explaining it, but it's been fun to see what some of my friends read and what they recommend. I don't think I have your email address though, so give that to me and I'll send you the link and you can check it out.
Andy got me "New Moon" for Valentine's Day and I read it within 24 hours. I couldn't put it down! After teaching sixth grade, I still like reading a lot of children's lit, and my latest series is "Magyk" by Angie Sage. If I ever get to reading any adult books I'll let you know!
