really terrible library jokes

It  has been  a while – so  I  had  to  go find  something funny  about  libraries.  And  these are some of the worst  jokes I’ve  ever  heard.   But than  again  a pun  should make you  groan.

Book Review: Everlasting

So on  Monday  I  complained  about not  reading enough , which  encouraged  me to  finish Inside  Out and  start Everlasting .   And I finished that one on  Tuesday night, so I  am really  glad  I  picked  up  the book.

Everlasting  by Angie  Frazier is  a  mixture  of  historical  fiction  and some  magic.  Seventeen year  old Camille  is engaged,  but  before she gets married, her  father  is taking  her on  one  last  sailing trip. What  Camille  doesn’t  know  is  that  her  father has a  few  secrets , about the  journey and her mother.  After a  mysterious  storm and a  shipwreck , she decides  to  follow  the secrets and a magical treasure  map.

I  don’t  remember  why I picked  this book up ,  but I’m  glad  I did .  It is historical  fiction,  but it is told  like Indiana  Jones or The Pirates of  the Caribbean. A lot  of  danger, a little  romance, lots  of  adventure ,and a  little  magic.  A  fun  book.

Book review: Inside Out

“…I’m Trella. I’m a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping inside clean for the Uppers. I’ve got one friend, do my job, and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels. The only neck at risk is my own…until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to-girl to lead a revolution”–

Why did I pick it up? I love the accidental hero. The story of someone who gets caught up in circumstances that cause them to reach a point of answering a big question – that will always grab me. Why did I keep reading? the pacing. It was frustrating at the beginning - you want to shove people along and get them to hurry, but in real life things take time. But of course things get faster and faster until the end. it has a high level of violence, but no gore for gore’s sake. There is a sequel , but the book is complete without it.

Reading log update

When I first looked at this reading challenge - I saw that it was a little more than 5 hours a week. I was worried I’d finish too fast. Ha. No wonder my reading isn’t what it used to be, I don’t even read everyday! Actually, I do , but more of it is a little here and a little here on the internet; not much sit down and read a good book. Which is a little sad , because it is one of my favorite things to do. So today I am happy for this challenge, because it is reminding me to take the time to do one of thing I like to do – read a good book.

Opens today: Cars 2

Well, I  might  not  see  this at  the movies, but I will see it eventually:

reading program update

So that is where I was Saturday Morning. Notice that one title is mixed in the middle of the book I’m reading. Yes, sometimes I am reading more than once. And right now I am listening to a book on my iphone as well. One book is not always enough.
