Reading Reading Reading

For Mother's Day the kids each gave me 2 books. I read all four books in a week. Sunday to Sunday. It was a happy week. Now I am sad that I don't exactly have anything to read. Though I do need to step up my Harry Potter reading challenge. I think that one will be better tackled once school is out, *crossing fingers*.

So the books I read this week were:

1. Band of Sisters by Annette Lyon. I really liked this book. I enjoyed reading about other people who were "new" to a group and all of them felt like they didn't belong, but they all ended up being a vital member of the group. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed! Highly recommended.

2. Imprints by Rachel Ann Nunes. I had a hard time with the book since the main character can "read" memories off of objects. I don't really believe that those kinds of things can happen. It was an enjoyable story once I just took it as complete fiction. It got me wanting to be more natural and more of a "locavore." Somewhat recommended.

3. Courting Miss Lancaster by Sarah M. Eden. I was afraid I wouldn't like this story very much as I don't seem to be as big of a fan of Jane Austin as most people I know and the Author is a HUGE fan. I did get into the language and was able to enjoy it thoroughly, though it could have been longer. Maybe a sequel? Recommended.

4. Dangerous Connections by Julie Coulter Bellon. Another one that I wished was longer, again hoping for a sequel. It did seem a little predictable but I still enjoyed finding out how much I was able to figure out on my own. I love a mystery/love story. Recommended.

My Funeral

The past couple days at school we have been watching October Sky. In one period at the end it mentions that the teacher died at age 31 of Hodgkins Disease. I asked one class if they would be sad if I died.

"YES!"

"We would cry!"

"We would all come to your funeral."

"I would play the Pi Song at your funeral."
"You realize I don't really like the pi song, right?"
"yes, :D"
