Making progress

I've been reading a 993 page book (with smallish print... it's definitely an adult based book), and it's slow going. I was able to make some progress today, which was a nice feeling

books

We went to a thrift store and Winco, and found these great books there. J LOVES the puzzle book and keeps asking to read it (even if he hasn't quite got the puzzle part down yet)

platypuses on the ark

we were reading through a noah's ark book today, and I happened to noticed that there was a pair of platypuses that were coming off the ark. I was rather amused.

Sisters Grimm

I don't know if any of you have heard of these books... The Sisters Grimm Series. Its been a fun read so far, and I'm only two books in.  I highly suggest it for anyone interested.

Ender's Game

In my children's lit class, we are divided into groups to teach a certain genre of book.  our group has sci-fi/fantasy.  this is one of the books i get to teach (my group wouldn't believe me it wasn't a children's book).  the other is Magic School bus :)

Snack of the Day

In my Children's Lit. class, we had an assignment to create a book.  this is the one my group came up with.  no one else took it when it was handed back to to us, so I got to bring it home.  I'm actually rather excited for it

New Books

the bookstore finally got in the books i needed for my Children's lit class.

Harry Potter

I spent a better part of the day (unrealized by me) finishing up the last Harry Potter book.  I had a goal to finish them all this fall break, and it looks like it worked!

repeat of yesterday

including the fact that i was sick at work. i was going to call in, but since work has just recently moved, no one yet knows the number.

reading

I spent a large part of today fighting with my stomach, and otherwise trying to ignore it by reading. here was my literature of choice for today. on an upside, i also had work, and was sick all day at work too.

digital fortress

book shelves

this is only two out of three that i have in my room. the one on the left is the one i cleaned off, and left all the family books (or books that are now family books) on. the one on the right, and the other one that is still left (which has just as many books, if not a few more) are all full of my books. i didn't realize till today just how many i owned.

The boy (or girl) camper

a good friend has been kind enough to send dante and i 6 different books of activities to do while he's off track. we got this one in the mail today (the fifth out of 6), and dante saw it and said "this one must be for you, min:

cookbooks

If anyone has seen my library account recently, they will know that i've had about half the system of cook books (especially slow cooker books, but others too) going through. I looked through these two, expecting a few that i would want to write down. Sadly, i wish i could buy the whole book (yes, both of them) and eat everything in there. i'm resisting going to amazon :)

Reading

Textbook

I've been reading my Roommates psychology book recently. It is fascinating... but not enough to take the class. I already know i have a messed up mind. no need to go to a class and find out just how much more messed up it is

Ender's Shadow

I spent a majority of the night reading (and finishing) this book. I forgot how much i enjoyed it before. Now i'll need to find something new to read at work. any suggestions?
