My how time flies

Geez, is it December already? And I haven't done much posting since school started. This is basically because I haven't been reading as much, but I have a guilty confession as to the real reason. My daughter had a bad fever the first week of school and I had her sleep in my bed, which she had never really done before. Well, she got used to it. And actually so did I. Now she doesn't sleep with me EVERY night, but probably more often than not. And it really cuts into my reading time. On the good side, I've been going to sleep a lot earlier and getting more sleep and staying healthier because of it! So to get past my questionable parenting skills and on to the real reason for my post: books!

I am currently reading The Alchemyst by Michael Scott and very much enjoying it. I will finish it before the end of the year as I'm already 63% done. I don't want to make any comments about the story as yet, but will say that I am reading this one on the Kindle app on my iPad instead of on my Kobo. One thing I like about this, is that I can read in the dark because of the backlighting. Which is nice when a little one is in bed with me. Another is the ability to turn the page with just a small movement of my finger on any part of the screen. It's really nice having multiple options for reading - my Kobo, my iPad and a real book.

The last book I finished I just loved. It's called The Snow Child. I picked it up at Target and it was just delightful. I loved the fact that it was set in Alaska. I love the fact that it is a spin off an old fairy tale - one that I was not familiar with. I loved the characters. I loved the ending. Read it, read it!!!

And while I ordinarily don't talk about movies on here, I watched a documentary that I believe every American should watch called The One Percent, made by Johnson and Johnson's son Jamie Johnson. Very eye-opening and I think until the majority of the country understands and questions how things work, the gap is just going to continue to grow. Watch it, watch it!!
