Ok so I just finished reading "Sweethearts" by Sara Zarr. It all started when I was desperate to find something to read because I do that at night before I go to sleep. It’s like my own quite time no kids no James, just me…
So I was at the library with Jordyn and went to the Teen section because the Twilight books are kept there and I just like to see what’s on display. So I picked this book I Kidd you not it was just because of the cute heart cookie on the cover....I know judging a book by the cover...so bad... I didn’t know anything about the story or the author just the cute cover is why it was picked.
Well anyways...I actually really liked it...no Jess you WON’T because it's in 1st person and oddly the parents are horrible....but I liked it. maybe I’m making up for the lack of reading as a teenager now that’s why I’m reading al these YA books...or it's just that my attention span is very limited on time unless it's something for my kids....but either way I liked this book and I could relate to it a bit....would I want my daughter to read it....well I’m really not looking forward to having my girls as teenagers, and I think it's just better no to think about them as teens yet for my own sanity. but like I said I enjoyed it but now I’m bookless again and will be going crazy if I don’t find anything soon....any suggestions are appreciated...
I'm trying to have the girls see me read for fun more too, to help encourage them to do it as well....lead by example right!!! Well I’m trying really I am...
Sorry if this is hard to understand I blog as if I’m just talking and for those who really know me I hardly stop for breath as it is..LOL
