Watch Me Grow

Finished

I just finish The Host, and I have to say it was an amazing read.

I cannot believe the imagination that Stephanie Meyer has to create this other world inside our own.

I started it on Saturday (I had to finish the Faith of our Fathers series first), and I couldn't put it down. I read 619 pages in 1- 1/2 days!!

I don't want to spoil it, but she totally left it open for a sequal.

The Host

Since I first read the teaser about this book I have been waiting to get a copy.

First thing this morning, I was at the local bookshop(before it opened).

I got the first copy of the Host, by Stephanie Meyer! Now I will be reading today!

Book Tag

Ok!

I was tagged by Paige and Tiffini. This tag is different from all of those I have seen. Here's how it works:

1. Pick up the nearest book (one of at least 123 pages)

2. Open the page to 123

3. Find the 5th sentence.

4. Post the next 3 sentences

5. Tag 5 people.

The book closest to me (since I just finished reading it yesterday is Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught. It is a good romantic mystery book that I got from the library.

"The 'simple' meal consisted of fourteen courses, each served with a diffrent wine, and a great deal of animated conversation about the wars Britain was fighting with the French and Americans. In Morsham when Alexandra had read about bloody land battles with Napoleon's forces and the clashes taking place on the sea, it had all seamed so far away and unreal. Now, with warships lying anchor all around her, war was a tangible frightening thing."

Now I tag:

Danielle, Jennah, Lisa, Shannon M., and Lorna

Good luck! I hope you have something wonderful close by.

What I have been doing!!

Well may of my friends and family have asked about the slowing in my blog post over the past month and I decided that I would let you I on my new addiction.

I LOVE TO READ!!!

In the past six weeks I have read over 50 book! I know that is a lot, but I read pretty fast, and I haven't watched much TV at all. On average I read about 300 pages (about 2-3hours) every day. Mostly in the evening when the girls are in bed. I am still working at balancing my time better, but I am really enjoying my new passion. Most of the books I read are from Christian authors and are very uplifting too. Bonus!!

Here are a few of the books that I have read in the past few weeks. I just received 9 more in the mail yesterday from amazon.com that I am iching to dive into.

See YA!!
