So I think we, the Jones girls, have become the library's VIP customers. We go like every week and then lose books/have library fines...a lot. The homeless people there are our best friends. In conclusion we=book worms. Some of what we have been reading in the last week.
Amanda, Julia, and I read this one in like 2 days flat. It makes you realize your parents aren't crappy, the author's are.
I shared the Bridget Jones love with Julia. Now our conversations are peppered with words like "huzzah" and "v.g." and "squashy (more to come on squashy later)". She loved this book. Of course. It's in my top 10 of best books ever.
So sometime I try to be educational in my reading. Maybe my mind has been destroyed by the likes of Janet Evanovich and James Patterson, but... I didn't get it. I'm sure it was chock full of similes and metaphors, so whatev. But I'll give Steinbeck another shot.
I'm kind of on a frontier/ranch kick right now. This book rocked and wasn't very long. I recommend it.
People, people. If you love the show, please read the books. They are amazing. I love them. It helps tide you over until the fall when it comes back.
And finally, RIP to this show. The ending was kind of lame and thrown together but we'll forgive you because you had some awesome moments. I really wish you would have figured out the whole Ned/Chuck not being able to touch each other part. Rude.

Lantern in Her Hand was a book that Great Grandma Payne read and passed on to Mom. I read it when I was about 12 and it was an all-time favorite. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Mom gave that very book to your mom. The Reidster prolly has it in storage somewhere. It's a keeper.
Hooray for new book recommendations!! Someday when I can go to the library without 3 kids in tow, I'll pay my fine and pick them up.
Holy Moley!! I totally loved "A Lantern in her Hand"! I read it in high school. And it was a favorite of my mom's. I read it when I was on a women-in-the-frontier mode. Try "Mrs. Mike" - another great book. I hated Glass Castle. Those parents were awful. I guess I'm not such a bad parent.
Maybe I should learn to be more literate. Good thing I already read bridget so I can comment on your blog. VG
When I have nothing new to read or I'm pissed because the book I just read sucked really hard; enter Bridget Jones Diary. Probably have read it 7 times. Watched the movie again just last night. Both are always funny. Thank you for the trusted stand-bys.
