Books Books Books!!!

Well, everyone seems to think that while I am incapacitated I have lots of leisurely time to relax and enjoy! HA!

Due to the computer age, I can still do 90% of my job and have planned and organized all of the pieces, even if I can't carry them out. In addition, I have done every puzzle known to man with Noah, played every board game, read every book (none of which I am complaining about!).

But, I have managed to squeeze in a few books over the past month and a half (yes I've been sitting here since Dec. 2nd -- almost 7 weeks).This is a fantastic story of a normal family faced with trouble, all told from a dog's perspective. It totally made me appreciate my dog a lot more. The sweet dog in the book wants so desperately to hug his master and tell him life will be okay, if only he had opposeable thumbs. Great read.


This was a TOUGH book to read, emotionally. It was easy to get through as far as readability, but as far as the content... it is amazing to think that there are really people who go through these sorts of situations. It is the story of a young girl who was abused by her parents and never taught to read. It is unbelievable how she overcomes her circumstances to succeed. There is also a movie out about this book which we have ready to watch on netflix.

Having studied in Germany I am often inclined to read Holocaust Fiction. This book was the story of the children who were rounded up in France at the beginning of the war and one girl who escaped the camps. It was an interesting twist.

All for your viewing pleasure!!!!!

I have a few more on the pile that I'm about to begin. Oh how I love to read!!!
