February Reads

I am not going to make a list of what I read this time.  Some of my friends tease me about going to the library...so I thought I would tell you what I have checked out right now

Anne of Green Gables movie, Anne of Avonlea movie, Batman movie, Artemis Fowl, Cutie Pies, The Darcys and the Bingleys, The Power of Nice, A Jane Austen Education, Deceptively Delicious (it totally works), Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Sunset.  See I don't even have that many things checked out.  

I will finish these books up and be ready for Darkfall #3, Beyonders #2, and Pioneer Woman's new cookbook.  Happy Reading!

This month I was actually a bit under the weather so I didn't get to read very much.
I started Artemis Fowl and was enjoying it when I had to return it.  Cutie Pies is a book I would buy.  The pies turn out perfect.  The crust forms well and is flaky and holds all the goodness that each recipe suggests.  The power of nice I have read several times...obviously I like it because my intention was to read it again.  It is written by two business women about how companies can thrive by being nice and then it has homework assignments after each chapter.  I remember that I really liked that part. 
Deceptively Delicious I have mentioned before too but since we hid veggies in the burgers with such success I decided to look at what other recipes might work. I didn't get to any Jane Austen book-a-likes but did watch Mansfield Park.  I loved the line "I love you like a man loves a woman, like a hero loves his heroine."  Sunset is written by Michael Wilcox.  I have liked each of his books.  His wife passed away and while she was sick he kept a journal.  This book is not written in journal form at all.  It describes the road (the road he is still on) of suffering, loss, hope, and faith.  I found it to be written so well that it causes you to feel grief, sadness, and loss over a person who is a stranger.  You feel the reality of the Gospel also but you feel sad for such a love to be separated for a time.
