Pictures of You


Ok, so not so great. I finished it, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was fine enough, but very choppy and almost written in a child-like way. Now, on to the next book.....still haven't figured out what that is going to be.

Preschool

Sage goes to daycare 3 days a week. It is a wonderful home based daycare. They do some learning activities there, but I have felt like Sage needs some more advanced preschool learning type of stuff. So, Santa set us up with a desk and some fun workbooks. We do "preschool" on most of our days off. It is working out really well. Sage is learning to write her letters. We just finished little e and big E. She is really hard on herself. If she doesn't get something correct, she will say (in all seriousness) "I'm a loser". We are working on that :)

Cutting For Stone

Wow, I finished it. It was super long and I devoured it in about 5 days. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is a story set in Ethiopia and America. Historical fiction. Medically based. I learned so much and fell in love with the characters. A must read as far as I am concerned. Now, on to the next one......

Left Neglected

OK, so I finihed this book in 3 days. LOVED IT! This is by the same author who wrote "Still Alice" which is in my top 10 of best books ever. "Left Neglected" is not as good as "Still Alice", but it was a great read that I really enjoyed. Sidenote to Laura....you would LOVE "Still Alice". Get it at the library ASAP. I am starting a new book tonight. It is called "Cutting For Stone" and it is a long one, so hopefully I can finish it in a timely manner. I will report back :)

The Lonely Polygamist


I love to read. LOVE IT! Unfortunately, I also love to watch TV. My two loves compete against each other. So, to motivate me to read more (which is the better option between the 2, right?), I'm going to document the books I read in 2011. I'm sad to say that it took me nearly 3 weeks to read The Lonely Polygamist. Not becuase it wasn't good, but because I've been too busy watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Top Chef, Brothers & Sisters, Selling New York, Modern Family, and embarrasingly The Young and The Restless. I really enjoyed The Lonely Polygamist. It is very much a black comedy and not the usual type of book that I read. It was quirky and fun. I give it a good solid B!
