book worm??

I am a book worm! I love that I am too. I feel in love with reading a young age and never stopped. I was an only child, which left me pretty alone in quite times. It wasn't a bad childhood but it defiantly put a lot of time on my hands. I think that's why I loved picking up a book like Black Beauty when I was young and imaging my self in that time area and with those friends. As my birthday approaches  I am nearing the rip old age of 31 and I am reflecting back on life and find myself still looking into books for a different version of life. What the world could look like if the world ended or what would happen if we ever came upon aliens or remembering those feelings in a love story. at 31 one I love books just  a much if not more than I did as a child. I have read hundreds of books now and have viewed hundreds of different perspectives of how others see our world or how we could be. I read fiction but it all stems from somewhere does it not. This is why I find it incredibly important for my children to read or be read to. I want them to see different view points different plots that gives them ideas for themselves. I am a book worm my children will be book worms and that's great because we will be to view the world differently, and that is exciting!

when you get a book and hate it.

ok here is a doozy of a deal, when you hear about how great a book is and you can't wait to read it and it is a total absolute fail. what do you do??? stick it out read it to add to you number of read books on good reads? do you give up and move on? come back to it later? I have had this happening more and more since I read the "Lunar Chronicles," its like this ..... in my head every thing is still happening with cinder and winter and scarlet lets not forget cress. These characters were my best friends from 8:30pm to 11pm they were my escape from my beautiful loving children that scream at me how much they love me. I need their story to continue. I have tried to read "First & Then" but it was not my style all the way around I ended up reading about two chapters and walking away from it. then I tried to read "Mechanica" which is a retelling of a fairy tail (great right up my ally) no epic flop. Then "Mangolia" which I will say was interesting but kind of morbid. girl in the book is dying then dies and then ends up not dying but really living in a ship above the clouds while her super smart friend tried epically to find her against all crazy town remarks from his two moms. I have to say its one of the first books where I read about someone having two moms and was adopted (whoo hoo for culture change in books!!!!) but ultimately it was way too far stretched and to say that she was part bird was odd. I just couldn't get into it. Lucky me though my copy of the Glass Sword came in and I am ecstatic to read it!!! until then!!!

faviorte apps about books

Being that I am new to being a stay at home mom of two, I am always looking for a new way to save money. I started with cutting down on buying things I do not need. I have a love of books and books are not cheep. Books became my best friends in high school and into my young adult years. so giving up on my love for books was not an option, who knew that the library was linked with amazon on E-books!!! my problem solved I use an app called over drive. I love it the only down fall is that sometimes I have to wait a long period time to read books. recently I finished the Red Queen and it is a three part series that I have been waiting almost a month to read the second book. but hey its cheaper than buying to books to read once.  over drive also allows you to down load the files to listen to the audio version. I love that for my long drives to my in laws with the kids. recently harry potter went to audio and my three year old loves listening to it in the car. I would highly recommend the app I have fallen in love with it!!! everyone keep reading and exploring life through books.

The Abolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

where do I start with this book. first off it won a national book award. second I love that it takes place in my home state. third do I think that it was good??? I liked it to some extent I love coming of ages books don't get me wrong "Perks of being a Wall Flower" was awesome. this book had a lot of boner talk in it for me, yes its written in a first person point of view and the first person is an Indian teenager but my god if that was taken out of the book I think that I would have loved it.  I think it is true in nature of how Indians are perceived in the 20th century. The Absolutley True Diary of a Part Time Indian, took place in Spokane and on a reservation that is poor and its one young boys journey out of there and to bigger better things.  I loved the struggle between him and his best friend I felt a real connection with the book and how high school can be at times. I hated the fact that most of this book is o true with the amount of tragic death that happens to Indians. I felt like the whole time i was reading this that something magical was going to happen in the end. to some extent a friendship mended is magical but i wanted this kid to get out of Spokane and move on with the grades he received and the journey his life took him on you just keep wishing for more for him. This book has a lot of language in it that I feel only high school kids should probably read if it was for kids. I wouldn't want my 12 year old daughter read it.
