Our next book!

Those getting an early start on "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" are warning us that you may want to be ready to soak your feet or at least put them up before, while and after reading! You might want to check out some pictures of footbinding OR then again maybe not. Whatever the case is I don't think I will complain about my feet hurting anytime soon! Check out Lisa See's website for more information about this author and remeber she will be coming to Watermark in March.

I have almost finished my next library book entry for the Winter Reading Program at the public library. "Pomegranate Soup" is a wonderful food story that combines Iranian cooking in an Irish setting, an interesting combination! This will be entry number 3! How is everybody else doing? I'm pretty sure I'm going to win...I wish!

Finished Book Thief!

Moving and working have sure cut into my reading time but thanks to an unexpected snow day I have finished The Book Thief! I realized that I was reading slower and slower as I neared the end for two reasons. First, I really didn't want the book to end because I had become so attached to all the characters. I would be hard pressed to decide who was my favorite among the group! Secondly I was afraid to find out what was going to happen next. It is a mark of great writing that a book narrated by Death and set during such a harsh time in history could still be so positive and hopeful. It seems odd to say that I enjoyed this book and maybe it is more accurate to say that I was consumed and enthralled by this book. Can't wait to hear what everbody else thinks!
