February Reads

  1. Smart Organizing by Sandra Felton Well, even though it made me feel "unsmart" for a season I am determined to get better at this. The reason I didn't read more this month becuase I was trying to get smart. Ummmm,...didn't happen. I really thought the book gave wonderful tips for each room in your home.
  2. Lemon Tart by Josi Kilpack I thought it was okay. I liked English Trifle better. Light & fluffy mystery. Oh yeah the recipes are a fun addition.
  3. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer This book was recommended by Neil and I would have never discovered this book otherwise. It was just fascinating and crazy and sad to me all at the same time. It is about this young man, recently graduated from college, who decides to leave his home, $, and most of his belongings and head across the US with hopes to take a trek in Alaska. He makes tons of friends along the way. He has his ups and downs with trying to make money to get what he know realizes he will need in Alaska. Despite his efforts and positive attitude about the adventure...he is unsuccessful in returning from Alaska to share the story with his new found friends. His body was later found by a hunter. That is the sad part. True story. I appreciate the recommendation.
  4. What the scriptures teach us about raising a child by Michael S. Wilcox Excellent My second time around reading this one.
  5. Weight Watchers Magazine. This is my fun new discovery. I can't just eat cupcakes all the time now can I? How many points would that be anyway? I think if I sent in the recipe to make it over they would just email me back and say "absolutely do not eat those cupcakes" I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading it. I picked up a couple issues at the library (where else?)

Well, not as much reading as in January, but I was trying to organize and I watched a bunch of the Olympics. Go USA! Happy Reading to you!
