I've actually been doing a ton of reading lately. I have been reacquainted with an old friend. The Public Library. My sweet boy shares my love of books so I decided that he would love the library as much as I did as a child. Our library has a neat little assortment of books for Wyatt to choose from and they are displayed in a "kid friendly" way. We usually leave with a fairly large stack including one or two for yours truly. Let's not forget that they are FREE! I have already saved quite a bit since I have been a frequent downloader for several years now. I am still downloading a few here and there but I am able to borrow a lot that is on my ever growing reading list. I am a book carrier which means that I am basically uncomfortable leaving home without my current selection tucked away in my bag. My nook is so convenient in its discreteness in that area. I just finished reading a book that was so big that it looked a lot like a textbook but hey...it's free :)
I'll start with Wyatt's current favorites this time.
This is Wyatt's new favorite book! He checked it out a few weeks ago and wanted to get it again the at our last trip to the library. Unfortunately it was checked out. He understood that someone else was taking a turn with it and hopefully it will be there next time. He loves it enough that it will most likely be added to his collection.
This book is just too cute. Wyatt is all about monsters, witches and all things scary these days. This book is perfect for little monsters on the go.
As for me, I have been busy reading quite a variety.
I wanted to see what all the hype was about with this series. Of course the fact that there is a movie coming out next year added to my curiosity. The Divergent Series also came highly recommended by a friend. It was great!! It sort of had a Hunger Games feel to it, which I loved. If you are a Hunger Games fan you will definitely want to check this out.
A few weeks ago my brother in law was telling me about scoring some Stephen King books really cheap at a thrift store. I haven't read Stephen King in about fifteen years or so. Needless to say I had him to bring a few over so I could scratch that itch. I am loving them!! So far here is what I have been consumed with.
The Dark Half. It is as dark as the cover I promise!!
This is a story that I know all to well since I've seen the movie about a million times but I found a three part book at the library that included this one so I decided to read it. It was a short read but I liked it. It was fun to add to the movie story that I already knew.
This was the first time I have heard this story so it was particularly good. Very action packed from the get go. I found out that there was a movie made so you can bet I will check it out soon.
And then there is The Shining. I still say that there is nothing more creepy than a little mind reading, hearing voices and seeing things kid. I'll leave it at that and let you decide. Very disturbing indeed.
Here's what is next on my list....
Insurgent...the next installment of the Divergent Series! I'm excited to see where these characters go.
I am also working on Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series. I've had these books on my reading list for years but I just never seemed to get to them. I am reading book two at the moment and it is a wonderful light hearted break from all those Stephen King novels. The character in these books reminds me so much of Bridget Jones. Love her so far!!
I'll leave you with this sweet picture of my little bookworm on one of our trips to the library. It warms my heart. Happy Reading!!
