32 Candles by Ernessa T. Carter

This has to be one of my favorite books to date. It was SOOOOOOO good. The characters were fresh and just funny. I found myself feeling SO sorry for the girl, but loving her at the same time. I couldn't put it down.

Didn't I Feed You Yesterday? By Laura Bennett

Ok, normally when I put a book up here, I've already read it and have moved on. Ok. I JUST finished this book and it is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!! Like I was literally laughing loud. OMG, if you have children, you HAVE to read this book.  Ok, that's all.

T.otal Eclipse of the Hea.rt

I read this book a few weeks ago (yep, I'm behind on posting my books lol) but it was OH SO GOOD.

This isn't your typical Z.an.e. book.

Don't go into it looking for all the hot and steamy $.e.x  that she is known for. This book is TOTALLY watered down.

The story line is just superb. I did NOT want to put it down. I actually got a little bit "emotional" lol while I was reading it.

It's almost like the story is just so close to what could happen in real life.

Pick this one up. Read it. You will NOT regret it!

13 1/2 by Nevada Barr

THIS BOOK SUCKS. I made it almost halfway and I just can't get into it. I mean the characters are okay, but that's about it lol. So ummm on to the next one lol. FYI, if y'all get a pic of JUST a book and no commentary, I must LOVE it. I'll only say something if is SUCKS. Like this one did lol.

A year in books...

This year I joined Goodreads which is a SUPERB site!!!

Adrienne's book montage

Umm For SOME reason my "montage" isn't working. Humph.

I only started adding my books in March lol.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE to read, and I love a varitey of books....from mindless reads to things that will help me improve as a person. My selections are just a varied as the music I listen too lol. I'm "well rounded" LOL

My FAVORITE book of the year HAD to be World Without End by Ken Follett. THis book was SUPERB! I hardly put it down.

My favorite new author was Jodi Picoult. WOW, she picks some really controversial topics!! I have a few of her other books on my list for next year!

I added a bunch of books to my "to read" list on goodreads Sunday night and I'm trying to decide what I want to read first! LOL

Ok...next list will be my knitting review of 2008 and goals for 2009. THAT one will be SHORT! LOL

Toodles!

If a picture is worth a thousand words.....

What would these pics say??


Jaelyn told me she wanted to go outside to read her book because it was "quiet" lol.  She took her blanket and wrapped up on the bench to read. I decided to check on her since I hadn't seen her in while and had to run back in to grab my camera. I don't even think she knew I was there lol.

She is REALLY loving this series and does not want it to end lol.

~Typepad users....what is with this whole typekey crap!?!? I mean seriously. I do NOT like it. I don't want to sign in with a typekey. Me no likey. Hmmm. Guess I will email them and see if I have the option to NOT use it. I like the new platform which a lot of you have already had for a while but I'm just getting it...like last week maybe. It's cool...this typekey crap? NOT SO MUCH!.

~Are y'all about finished cooking?? I just took my LAST cake out of the oven. I am ready to go to bed lol. I still have a few things to cook tomorrow but I will get 'er done lol.

~Can someone tell me why Kayla falls ALL.THE.TIME!?!? We have had her checked out...her equilibrium is fine, nothing going on in her head...she is just CLUMSY. She fell down the stairs today....I think she only fell down 8 of the 15 *eyeroll* going to the family room downstairs....THEN she fell down the ladder (why does this look like it's spelled incorrectly!?!?) getting out of her bed to go to the bathroom. Any suggestions other than wrapping her in bubble tape?

~I have a LOT to do tomorrow and most of my morning will be spent away from home. Hmmm. Yeah.

~The kids are ready to put the Christmas Tree up. I don't even have all the stuff pulled out yet. SOME but not all.

~ I printed the labels for my Christmas cards. I will mail them them December 5th. YAY! Oh I still need to get our family picture taken! LOL...gotta do it before the 5th huh? lol

~ WHY do I have my pictures printed at other places when I have THREE printers at home?!? I sent some pics to SAMS to be printed and I HATE them. Seriously. I told them they looked like crap and I could do a better job printing them out at my house. I got them for free but won't even use them. 90 pics! I ordered a bunch of ink for my Picturemate today. NEVER again. I'll print them myself.

~I do not like Lu and Ronalyn anymore. They have hooked me on 24!!!!! I watched six episodes of season one and LOVE IT! I ordered season 1-6 from Amazon yesterday. Let's call it a belated birthday gift! LOL I need to watch that on something larger than my 15inch laptop screen lol

Ok...I'm sleepy so I'm rambling lol. If you made it this far woo hoo lol. If not, I don't even blame you lol

Toodles!
