So, here is a new post. I know it's been a while but I haven't felt like I have had anything great to post about. I am still going to do my tagged post but I've been putting it off because I want to be creative. I also have been wanting to do a post about the book "Cane River" recommended by Susie. So here is my review of "Cane River".
I loved it! Thanks for recommending it, Susie. What I loved most is that it is historical fiction about the author, Lalita Tademy's, family. I loved how we get to look at 4 generations of women who really lived and the amazing and tragic experiences they had. It really made me want to focus on my family history because I'm sure that there are amazing stories and experiences I could discover.
Something else I wanted to post but forgot my camera, this weekend was my Dad's 60th birthday. Luckily Anna did a post about this so refer to her blog. I will try to be better about posting because I know how annoying it is to keep checking someone's blog and have nothing new. If you're not going to post, why have a blog? Right?

I'm glad to read a new blog and I'm happy someone in the family gets to read!
I love book reviews, that sounds good I'll have to check it out! Are you guys going to Danville this weekend? I'm so excited to go home!
We're gonna come down Saturday afternoon. We are going to Trevor's play at 7:30 but then we want to hang out with you and then we'll go to Michelle's homecoming talk, of course. Let me know what your plans are.
I'm so honored that you'd take my reccomendation! You're on my new top favorite list, Emily Coons! Wasn't it so interesting and good? Stick with me, Em dear, there are more recommends for you!
Keep the recommendations coming. In fact, I just got "The Bell Jar" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" from the library. I'm excited to read them, even though you didn't give "The Bell Jar" a raving review.
Em, I just finished the Glass Castle. I thought the beginning was kind of the same old writing style I had seen tons of times (I had to read a lot of memoirs in my major). There was also kind of a slow part in the middle. But I ended up thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good read! I really liked how she somehow didn't make you feel sorry for her through all of the stuff she went through (though with some of it you couldn't help but feel bad for them). It was definitely a refreshing and very humorous approach to the same old troubled childhood story. By the end of it I was very impressed with her writing.
