September Book

Well, it looks like I only had two ideas for books this month. So since I already own it, but have never read it I am going to go with 1984 by George Orwell. It's always good to read the classics. Plus I hear 1984 has a pretty good message about anti-communism--it is where the term "Big Brother" came from after all. And with the presidential election coming up I think we could all use a brush up on politics.
If you'd like to join in reading this book you can probably pick up a copy at your local library or in paperback from any bookstore. (It's most likely only a few dollars.) Happy reading!

Name the blog

So I don't really like the name of this blog, but I couldn't come up with anything clever. If you have any ideas, let me know.

Breaking Dawn

I finally finished the book! It took me a week and I totally neglected my house for the last two days to push to get it done. I did cook dinner and feed the children, but that was about it.
DON'T CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE BOOK!!
I'm not sure that I like that the series is over, it seemed like there could be other books, but then they would kind of be redundant too. Call it my need for torment, but I'm not sure if I really like the way it ended. It's like she felt the need to tie up all the loose ends. I'm not sure I needed or wanted it to all end with the typical Happily Ever After. I think it could've ended where "Bella" began. I was totally convinced that Bella was dead and the rest of the book was going to be about Edward trying to kill himself and Jacob and Renesmee carrying on. I cried. I like the way things turned out between Bella and Jacob, but it seemed a little too perfect that Jacob imprinted on Renesmee and forgot all about Bella.
I almost cried again when Alice left. I thought, "no way she could abandon them like that...either she is coming back or they all really are going to die." What a great series. Let's hear what you think.
