my first book review

I read this book over the Thanksgiving holiday while at the in-laws house, and finished it on the drive home today. It is a cute story about trusting in God and finding love and is very easy reading. Gretchen was jilted a month before her wedding. She turns to ice cream and HGTV as a way to cope without really coping. One day, she looks in the mirror and decides to take some action in her life and try flipping a house just like they do on the shows she loves to watch on HGTV.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cute, fun, easy read.

Done with Breaking Dawn

I'm Done! It was EXCELLENT! Better than the others, IMHO! I can't wait to discuss with people! If you've read it and want to chat about it, drop me a line at mommato5kidz@hotmail.com.

It's here...

My book came! See you in about a day and a half!

Are you kidding me?

Right now I SHOULD be reading Breaking Dawn, but I'm not. Ask me why I'm not. No really, cuz I want to whine about it some more.....

I ordered my book from Amazon.com in May, so that I wouldn't have to worry about being at Walmart at midnight or having the store sell out of books before I got mine. See I was thinking ahead. BUT....I got an email from Amazon a couple weeks ago that made it sound like my book wouldn't be coming on time. Hello! Freak out!

And then yes, this morning, in my hotmail inbox was the message saying that my book had been sent and would not be here until AUGUST 5TH! Are you stinking kidding me????

So, now I have to basically live in a cave until it comes and I can read it so that I don't "hear" any of what happens. I'm so miffed!

Twilight mania

I'm sure that it should be no surprise to anyone who reads my blog that I am a big Twilight fan! Not as big as Lauren, but still a big fan. I first read the books in November over Thanskgiving weekend while traveling to and from Idaho to spend the holiday with my side of the family. I could NOT put them down. From day one I have been a Jacob fan too. Oh yeah baby! Warm-blooded werewolves are way more my thing than cold statuesque vampires. Well...long story short....I just reread the books again in anticipation for Breaking Dawn's release and I found that yes, I still like Jacob a lot. Probably more for ME actually than for Bella. I have changed my tune a bit and I do now think that Bella and Edward belong together.
I have seen all the movie trailers and I am so excited! It is going to be a HUGE girls night out event with all my girlfriends. They are right on target with all the actors they got to play the different roles. I was a little iffy about who they got for Edward for a while, but I have changed my tune about that as well. He is very nice to look at.
Not so much in this picture. I think he looks weird, but I am still gonna buy the magazine anyway!Actually, it is this picture that convinced me. Seriously. I am not a teenager with raging hormones anymore. My husband would probably argue that I have lost my hormones (except the ornery ones that is), but HOLY COW! Is he not just HOT in this photo? I think I will take a page from Jenny's book and print off a copy of this to hang on my door! *(She has Jonas bros on hers)

I'm sure that Mike won't mind. ;]

Loved it...

I read the most fascinating book today. I heard it was a "good read" and so I put it on hold at the library a few months back. It finally came my turn to check it out and I did about a month ago. And it sat on my bedside table as I read other books first. I wish I would've read it the same day I got it.

It is a sweet story told through the letters that a husband wrote to his wife every Wednesday from the day they were married. Through all the good times and the bad. I cried and simply enjoyed getting wrapped up in this wonderful book.

I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great book to curl up with. And for all those out there who already read this book...what did you think? Did you like it? Let me know!

TWILIGHT

Have you read this book??? Oh my heck! I just started last Tuesday reading "Twilight" and had to go buy "New Moon" because I wasn't going to be able to get it from the library soon enough. Apparently everyone else in Davis County was reading them too! So I ran to Walmart and bought it and read almost the whole book on the way to Idaho for Thanksgiving. I.Can't.Put.It.Down! Anyway, on Saturday night I started the third book in the series called "Eclipse". I want to read it and find out what happens but at the same time I want to read it slowly because it is the last book and I don't want it to end! Have you ever felt that way about a book or series of books before?
