Wonderful Wednesdays! What have I read lately?



Well, I finished the Divergent series, and started a new book by Jodi Picoult, "The Pact".  BIG DIFFERENCE in the subject matter/content, but both excellent reads.  The Divergent Series, last book, "Allegiant", didn't end quite the way I would have wanted, but was still good.  There's another book out by Victoria Roth that is a perspective of all the stories as told by another character in the series.  Personally, I think that may be a bit of overkill, so I'm not going to read it!  

"The Pact" was so amazing, and makes you think back to your teen years, and how hard things were to "get".   It also makes you think about just how well do you know your very own children??  

 I haven't read much by Jodi Picoult, but that is going to change!!!






On another note, what do I read now??  I have downloaded so many things on my Kindle, but I think I'm also ready to hold a book in my hands and smell the pages!  Sounds weird, but I do so love a good book and how it feels in my hands, so every once in a while, I will just read a real book!  I have a few of those stashed away for when I need a "fix".  Guess you will have to find out next week what I'm reading!  If we get a snow day, I may just have a couple of books read!!!  Hahaha!!

I also pre-ordered Deborah Raney's new book "Home to Chicory Lane:  Book 1".  Yay!  I love to read Deborah's (AKA Tobi's mom) books!  She writes Christian fiction, and Tobi got me hooked when we worked together at Zalma!  The sad part, it doesn't come out until August.  (picture me making a frownie face here)  Oh well, ANTICIPATION!!! Can't wait to read it!!

Happy Reading!!!

  1. Hey! I just found your blog--and then this post with a mention of my Mom! Fun! Also, have you read Sister's Keeper by Picoult? It's SOOOOOOO much better than the movie, which totally changed the story!
