Monday Must Haves: Book Club

I recently finished this book.  I loved it!  I was hesitant to read it just because I'm an avid reader of her blog and thought I knew everything about the accident, her new life, etc.  Even at my son's swimming lessons I overheard someone saying it was kind of cheesy.

Cheesy?  Sign me up.

No, really.  I'll admit.  The beginning is a tad cheesy but you have to have those parts to really understand her love for Christian and her family.  And then it just draws you in from there.  On more than one occasion on my morning walks, my eyes filled with tears and stained my cheeks.  I was just hoping no one ever saw me blubber away.  There was so much more that I learned about her and her family as well as her struggles to get better after crash.  It makes me want to go back and read her blog during her recovery again.

I highly recommend this book but don't say I didn't warn you to have Kleenex near by.

Monday's Must Read

I finished yet another audio book and LOVED it!  I loved that the author was the narrator on the audio version.  It made it that much more real to me.  This book is the story of her being a Chinese mother in a Western culture.  This next picture is so fitting.  I highly recommend this book to everyone!

Monday Must Reads

So, my new addiction is listening to books while I walk/exercise.  I used to "read" or listen to books on my way to work but now I don't spend as much time in the car as I used to so I rarely get a chance to read.  If I wait until bedtime I fall asleep and there will be no reading getting accomplished.  The first book of the new year is Open by Andre Agassi.  I really liked it.  It was truly an eye opener for me in some ways.  One thing I didn't like was the language.  Foul!  It is so harsh when you listen to it rather than read it.  Good book.  I highly recommend it.

Next up on my list is:

What are some good books you have read lately that I should download?

Blog Book

Sorry I've been kind of MIA lately.  I've either given in to my urge to sleep while my son is taking a nap or working on my blog book from Blurb.  I turn my family blog into a book every year so it is like a journal.  We love looking back at year's past.  Since I don't really print out pictures it is nice to have something to read and look at pictures in.  In fact, my son and I looked at pictures of when I was pregnant with him and when he was a baby.  He loved it!

So, excuse me if I'm absent a bit.  I have to get this done ASAP.

Thanks!
