The Glass Castle - Jeannette Walls  

Thursday, December 11, 2008



What an awesome read! While it was heartbreaking to see children suffer from the irresponsible actions of their addict-parents, it was inspiring to see these brave little souls overcome the crazy obstacles that an unstable childhood threw at them. It makes you just want to grab them and hug them! Children that are forced to grow up at such a young age just breaks my heart, but when you see them beat the odds it makes you want to jump up and do a victory dance for them! I couldn't help but Google Jeannette after finishing this book to learn of all of the accomplishments she's achieved even in the face of such adversity, and was surprised to find out that I've seen her countless times on MSNBC and would have never guessed that she had such a rough time growing up!

I LOVE Oberon's journals and I've had mine for what seems like forever. Well, they've recently come out with Kindle covers with the option of velcro or corners. Most of you know that I HATE velcro so I'll probably go for one with corners. I'm bummed that their design selection is kinda of meek at the moment, but I've been eyeing the Tree of Life Kindle cover for awhile now, and considering my most recent horror with an M-Edge cover purchase, I'm thinking of getting myself a nice one for a few bucks more! So help me decide before I end up getting one of each!

It's been a busy week of Christmas shopping so I haven't had time to blog at all, but i thought I'd post a quick tip for all the readers! If you're like me, sometimes you just can't figure out what to read next. Well, since I love Pandora for my music, I was thrilled when I stumbled across this handy little site!
