Book of the year

A new thing this year, we are doing a book of the year. Why? Because it may take me a year to read it :). This is the unabridged version 1400-some odd pages. But I have read that this is one of the best books ever written. "A great tale of revenge and adventure." We have a year to read and it can be done!!

January book of the month

It is time for a classic. The Hobbit By JRR Tolkien, is the prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is a book that I wish I would have read in school but for some reason this wasn't on my reading lists. Plus I hear that there is a movie in the works.
This is the story of Bilbo Baggins adventures with Gandalf the Grey.It also introduces Gollum who is the one with the ring until Bilbo gets it.

December Book of the Month!

To go along with the Christmas Holiday, we have chosen The Tale of Despereaux for the month of December.

A very brave gentlemen mouse meets and instantly falls in love with a princess by the name of Pea. Pea gets kidnapped and Despereaux realizes that he is the only one that can rescue her, and that even the tiniest, cutest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor.

This book will be a fast read and the movie comes out December 19, 2008.

November book of the month

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the time of year that we all take a small moment and be thankful for all that we have, we are choosing The Sunflower by Richard Paul Evans as the book of the month. Its about two girls who go to Peru on a group trip for charity. They work at an ophanage and meet someone who changes their lives.

October Book of the Month

We have decided to choose the newest book by Nicholas Sparks, "The Lucky One".

Not really familiar with the book, but I do know that it is about a man that has a brush with death and that leads him to the love of his life.

If you are a Nicholas Sparks fan like I am, then I'm sure you will not be dissapointed in this choice of book.

If you do decide to read it, any feedback is appreciated.

Better late then never...

Yes, it has been 3 months since our last post. I guess you could say we have been busy. We are truly sorry!

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good read for Halloween? If you love halloween as much as we do, I'm sure you can come up with something.

July Book of the month..

Sorry about the lack of posting. It is hard to keep up with stuff like this, but we will try and be better. :) So, we have chosen The Book Thief as the July book of the month. Bethie has been wanting to read this book for awhile now, so now is her chance...get busy girl!! lol
The Book Thief is about a 9 year old girl that goes to Germany to live with a foster family and she has just stolen her first book,even though she has not yet learned how to read. Her foster father uses the book to help put her to sleep when she has nightmares about her younger brothers death. Throughout the years, she steals more books and makes more friends.
I don't know much more about the book, so get busy reading and don't forget to share your thoughts! :)
