I really enjoyed this book! It was kinda hard to read because I have a friend whos mom is actually going through something very similar to what Alice went through so I teared up a lot. The complaint I have about the book is where were the editors before this book went to print?!?!?! There was several spelling errors, but even missing spaces between words.

I listened to this in audio. I really enjoyed the story, but thought that Jeannette Walls would of done a little better in *reading* the story. She sounded like she was reading out of a textbook. Please stick to writing! :)

Ok let's see if I can get into the habit of this!!
Today is Monday!!! I am reading "What Alice Forgot" by Liane Moriarty. I am reading it on my Coby Kyros Tablet (WHICH I LOVE!!). It's the first book I've read on this tablet and won't be the last. I downloaded it from my library which was super easy to do!
Ok..this isn't a post about my Coby Kyros..though I should probably do a post Jen (momx3lovesbooks)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948290809705630058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12359260.post-78364623963422942062012-02-06T13:43:00.000-06:002012-02-06T13:43:07.894-06:00"The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane SetterfieldThe Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
This book was pretty good. I saw the ending coming about 3/4 into the book but it didn't disappoint me. Some parts were bit dragged out but it kept me reading.

This was a pretty good book. It was really slow going until the last 3-4 chapters. Reading about a circus train was very interesting though! I'd enjoy reading more about circus trains and the people who lived and worked on them.

Finally finished the last book in this series! It took me 2 years of on/off reading and Im so glad that I committed to it and finished the series.
The ending was great. I haven't seen any of the movies so it was all new to me. I had no idea if Harry would live or die. I really enjoyed this series!!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I read this awhile ago. It was hard to get through as some of Moore's books are. You really have to be in the mood to read a novel by Christopher Moore and Im not sure I was quite in the right frame of mind when I started this book. It was funny but not as much as I thought it would be, but Jen (momx3lovesbooks)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948290809705630058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12359260.post-31200067223144364702011-11-25T22:27:00.000-06:002011-11-25T22:27:20.638-06:00Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo

Yet for a few months the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond.
