I really liked Twilight, but I'll be the first one to admit that those books aren't the height of literature. They were just fun.<br /><br />We just recently got a Bumbo for Lucia, but unfortunately it seems like it might have been a little late because she's getting ready to sit up all on her own.

You will probably want to read them all back to back. I thought they were well written and very suspenseful but what I liked most about them was that they were "clean" - no sex, no swearing. It was quite refreshing...if a book about young people fighting to the death can be refreshing :)Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-70327760744116410262012-04-27T21:57:36.458-04:002012-04-27T21:57:36.458-04:00I'm so glad your first day of subbing went wel...I'm so glad your first day of subbing went well! Yay for you! And I too want to start making more cards...they are just more special than a store bought card. If I find any tutorials I'll send them your way! I used to make some out of scrapbook paper and stamps, but they weren't very impressive.Brittany Fullwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-26471386762592243122012-04-27T12:42:08.964-04:002012-04-27T12:42:08.964-04:00I seem to be in the minority that thinks that the ...I seem to be in the minority that thinks that the Hunger Games were rather cliche' and not terribly well written. I actually found them so boring and predictable that I couldn't finish the series. But then, I hated Twilight too. <br /><br />Lucia's stripey pants are so cute! She looks like a big girl sitting in her stroller. I am trying to reconcile myself to the fact that my 12 week old can sit up in his Bumbo. He is still supposed to be a newborn!Emily Gaddininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-90479875034844532312012-04-27T11:40:09.924-04:002012-04-27T11:40:09.924-04:00Yes, the Hunger Games trilogy will totally suck yo...Yes, the Hunger Games trilogy will totally suck you in! I had to keep myself from getting the 2nd and 3rd books from the library until my thesis was done. Katniss is a better heroine than Bella for sure. The series raises a lot of moral/ethical questions about war and violence, so there is also some food for thought there.

I enjoyed it, and look forward to the next one as soon as I can find someone to borrow it from. I am glad that subbing went well!Ann-Marienoreply@blogger.com
