I always like to hear what my friends are reading and this summer The Fey's have been reading
a lot! I am currently reading
Belong To Me by Marisa
de los Santos. So far so good... it is about a woman who makes a big move to the
suburbs and has some regret...
hmmm... maybe
that's why I like.
I finished this one a few weeks back. It is a trilogy and everyone seems to love it, but it was really slow for me, but I liked the ending. I bought the second one when I bought the first, but have not started it yet... so has anyone read these? Should I keep going with the series? Anyone want me to mail them this first one?
Adam and I are both reading
Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey. We hope it will help make the transition from two nice paychecks down to one... without stressing Adam out and making me feel guilty. Our biggest challenge is letting go of our debit cards... we do not use credit so that was easy, but man I miss my debit card!
Just
in case anyone cares... Adam is currently reading Clive
Cussler (yawn). It is a best seller and Adam is not the
voracious reader I am , so if
it is fiction that keeps his attention it must be a good one!
The kids and I have been reading lots of books this summer with the local library summer reading program. This book,
The Bridge is Up! has been a big hit. It has every
vehicle boys love, plus animals, and it is
repetitive so my little emergent reader wants to hear it over and over...and over!
When Mike was a baby he liked the peek-a-boo flap books the best. We have worn several out
completely, but
Adelyn seems to prefer the books with real faces on them. She squeals and kicks her feet like a crazy woman.
Smile! is the book she earned in the reading program. I don't think I would have ever bought this book, but now I will buy it for baby gifts for sure.
(PS. Doesn't this cover just scream scrapbook inspiration)
So what is your family reading these days?

I think I'll be adding Belong to Me and The Bridge Is Up to my lists of books to buy...thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteMiss your smiling face, Kristy Fey!
Tricia
P.S. I just finished Heart of the Matter and enjoyed it. Now I'm reading Family History by Dani Shapiro. The thing is I think I read it a long time ago and have forgotten most of it, so it's new to me! How sad is that?!
I love the cover of Belong to Me but I can't imagine why you might like the story line. You can't relate it to your life in any way...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the financial transition... being at peace sounds sooo nice. I know lots of people who have followed Ramsey and liked it.
I've been windering if you liked the Stieg Larsson series. I might give it a try. And yes, Tricia, you have read that one cause you loaned it to me...I think. I'm reading Look Again by Lisa Scottoline on loan from Tricia. After that, Bringing Up Girls by James Dobson.
