ROOM

     Recently I finished the book called ROOM. I loved this book and could not put it down and here is why. I loved the fact this book is from the perspective of a five year old little boy and to see the world that he lives in through his eyes. I felt like this book was wonderfully written when you stop and think about that. The story behind this is actually terrifying and in today's world is kind of not off base as something that could happen. 

    Jacks mom was kidnapped at sixteen and forced to live in a 12 X 12 shed.  She then becomes pregnant and has jack. fast forward five years and jack is a sweet boy that was raised with her in a room. no outside time no running and climbing. they had a bed, tv, wardrobe, small kitchen area and a small table. I couldn't image myself in this room but to think this woman had a child and raised him for five years. I have two kids, boys, and they are wild. It would literately drive me crazy being cooped up in a 12 X 12 space. they come up with a plan and the way the mom explains it to the boy is exactly like the way Dora the explorer explains things to the little boy (this is his favorite friend he has is Dora in the TV). I am amazed at the author here it was very clever way to have the story wrap around something like this that the child in the book could understand.  Jack pretends to be dead and the mother rolls him up in the rug and tells the man that stole her that he died. The man takes the rug out to the truck and drives off with Jack. At the first stop Jack jumps out of the truck and runs for help. 

    I wont give away the ending but I do think that you should read this book. Emma Donoghue is quite amazing. she also wrote a book called The Wonder, however i have not yet read this book yet. 

My favorite part about Room was that i got to read the book then watch the movie. books are better than movies though !!! book worm lover forever!! 

Reading Challenge

     Okay so life has caught up with me it feels like forever since I have had the time to blog. I have not stopped reading however, there is always time for that! I started a goodreads ( love that app) reading challenge for 2017 and I am half way done with it. 40 books in one year. It seems as if that would be easy, but lets remember that I am a mama with two boys. We are always on the go and we always have amazing adventures planed. so I am not going to go over all the books that i have read since my last post but rather some of my favorites i have come across.  

Harry potter and The Cursed Child

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

How do I feel about the Cursed Child. I was excited the temptation of reading another NEW Harry Potter book was unbearable , but did it deliver that is the question. knowing that this was not written by J.K. Rowling's but rather she had a hand in the book its self was enough for me to buy it. So, I am here to inform you of my thoughts on this magical world.

     I loved it, I was taken back to my childhood of reading way past my bed time. I was in the world and found my self glued to each page all over again. Harry is the father of Albus whom is in the sytherin  house feeling like a failure to his family starts to pull away adapting a friendship with the Malfoy's child. the set up of this book is amazing. I couldn't stop my boiling blood when I read about professor Umbrigde but quickly moved along. I am the biggest harry potter fan around and recommend the book to those young and old. it will be a classical just like the other seven books one day!
     I am excited to learn that there will be three novella's published on line as e-books by Rowling, in November. I will be reading those and posting about this as well!

Of mice and men

Of Mice and Men 

      I enjoyed this small read. Steinbeck did a great job of keeping you wondering through out the book where the plot was going to have a turning point, and then boom he shocks you. I liked reading the was Gorge looked out for his friend Lennie and keeping him as safe as possible. Lennie being as low as he was having someone to look to for guidance and protection. Until an accident happens creating a world shattering change and a hard choice for a friend to make. I recommend this book to view life from a different perspective, to know what it means to give graces to our friends. 

My lady Jane

My Lady Jane 

     Comical, laugh out load funny, mixed with a bit of history and a dash of magical. I loved the romance. This book was a battle of the monarchy to lead a country. A price out of his comfort zone a queen that would rather be reading the books and a horse that quotes poatry. I recommend this book for a laid back easy reading. Reading this book has lead me to start reading some of the classics and I am falling in love with books all over again.
