I got a little busy and fell a little behind on my goal for April. I should be able to make up for it this month. May is super busy but I am not working as much, so I want to read more.
I read "The Appeal" by John Grisham. I don't always need a flowery happy ending, but I don't want to read a whole book only to get to the end and find out that life always sucks and won't get any better. I wouldn't recommend this one (especially since I probably just ruined the end for you). I just really didn't like this book and its message at all.
I read "confessions of a shopaholic" and other than its slightly PG 13 rating for some bad language that you just couldn't see coming, I really enjoyed this book. I totally understood the main character and her convoluted logic. It also made me feel much better about my closet full of clothes and shoes. I would definitely recommend it, and you can borrow it because I bought it.
I read "Bridge to Terabithia". My main gripe with this book (other than another sucky ending)is that I read it out loud with students, and even though they are biblical swear words, it has a healthy smattering of cussing. The main character also says "lord" a lot, and although iffy as taking the name of the Lord in vain, just uncomfortable for the kids to say. I started editing out the bad words as I read and the kids picked up on that and did the same.
I'm working on several books right now and should be caught up soon.
