this is like the only book i re-read

i dont usually re-read books because i feel like there are so many other books i want to read first but i am having a lot of fun re-reading pride and prejudice as i always do. i wonder why it is the kind of book that can be read again and again. i still feel like i want to know what happens... even though i already know what happens- it's that good!

anyway, how's is everyone else enjoying it?

done and done

well, i finished the chosen today!

it's a library book and it is due tomorrow (feb 3) and so i was determined to read it before we took it back.

i was on like page 30 yesterday morning and i read like 200 pgs. yesterday and finished the rest up today.

wow! what an inspiring book in so many ways! i want to be more of a scholar after reading that- did it make anyone else want to sit at a library and be able to just read book after book and absorb all that knowledge? i was seriously inspired.

i've been in kind of a reading slump lately, and this read-a-thon was the perfect kick in the buns to get reading again.

on to one of my favs- pride and prejudice! great pick kristen and thanks for your pick liko!

finished it, loved it

last night i finished 'the chosen' what a great book. i cried. has anyone read any of the authors other books? 

i am excited to start reading P and P. i love that book and i love it even more everytime i read it.

just wanna say

 i for one, LOVE our book club meetings/junk food eating/gossiping nights. 

i love each of you girls so much. and i really appreciate how we have similar beliefs but all have different opinions and ways of doing things. i like that about us. 

i think we are cool.

Who's this 'Megan' person?

haha! totally kidding, Megan! Yeah, ummm, our "book" club meetings usually have NOTHING to do with the book, I mean, it started that way and they have morphed into a social gathering of sorts. We talk and eat. So you're welcome to come, if you can, busy mama. No obligations. You can stay for as long or as short as you want.
Oh, and people, I apologize for how in-depth the book goes into Jewish principles and whatnot. I read it a l-o-o-o-n-g time ago and I think I just skipped the parts where they really get into explaining the Talmud and all that. It was a bit much, at times. But, I hope you all enjoyed it, those who have read it.
And Steph J. -- I totally forgot to bring that book to you. So, tomorrow?? Sorry.
See you tomorrow!

Thursday, Jan. 22, 8 p.m.

yes, so be there! my house. i guess it'll just be the usual: chatting while snacking, so bring a treat of your choice! call me for directions, or come prior to that date and we can play in the pool up top. there is guest parking, too. see you then!
