my bookshelf - divergent


There are only a few things I love more than a good book (let's see wine, chocolate covered strawberries, celebrity gossip..oh yeah and God, family, and friends of course). The other day, I was thinking about the type of books that I'm drawn to.  I really don't have one specific genre.  I love everything from ChickLit, to Historical Fiction, Young Adult Novels, Spiritual Books...the list continues. You name it and I've read it, and loved it.  As I was thinking about the books I've read lately that I just could NOT put down, they all seemed to have one thing in common, a strong, resilient, profound main character, usually a female (girl power).  This week I finished the book, Divergent, by Veronica Roth.  ADDICTING!  I would stay up until 1:00 in the morning, huddled around my little bedside lamp reading chapter after chapter.  Luckily this is trilogy (YAY). I can't wait to read the next book, although it's not available until May (sigh).  In the meantime, I've got a few books on my nook that I have yet to begin.  Happy Reading!

March was a busy month for us.  John turned the big 3-0 (o-l-d) and our adorable niece, Kaitlin, turned five. We celebrated both birthdays in Disney World.  Another huge, and I mean HUGE event took place this month.. the Hunger Games movie came out!  Obviously we were there opening night, Ashley, Kristin, myself and every tween in the county.
