Recently finished reading: The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer. And I loved it--Lucy, Hugo, Jack and Christopher, Clock Island, and the contest! It was magical.
"Only brave children get their wishes....Because only brave children know that wishing is never enough. You have to try to make your own wishes come true." --Meg Shaffer
This John Atkinson cartoon totally made me laugh. Check out his website, Wrong Hands, for more clever and humorous art. It'll make your day!
My latest library haul...I know, once again I checked out too many books, and five more holds will probably come in tomorrow, but it's my bookish addiction, and there's no 12-step program for it:
Murder at King's Crossing by Andrea Penrose
Cat's Paw by Roger Scarlett
The Next Everest by Jim Davidson
Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliot
The Hunter's Daughter by Nicola Solvinic
The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig
Snowed In by Catherine Walsh
The Novice by Taran Matheru
Miles Bailey Gets Down on One Knee by Jen Atkinson
Chicken Dinner News by Jeff Billington
Gathering Mist by Margaret Mizushima
And my list of glad things from October:
- I saw chickadees on my walk this morning...they're my favorite little bird and always make me smile.
- Tracker has started again! It's so good...one of my favorite TV shows this season.
- I'm also really loving Jelly Roll's new album, especially his song I'm Not Okay.
- I found some favorite books on sale at my library's used book sale...picked up 5 of them for only 50 cents. Any day with new books in it is a good day!
- My family got together for a fun game night last weekend; we played Zombie Run (a fast, easy and fun card game) and Mycelia.
- And my football team won their last 3 games! They are now 8-0. Go BYU!
