Cutest little counting story about a little girl playing in the rain. Love it. It's probably the Oregonian in me. Allie loves the very last page, it's a picture of the little girl in pigtails on a swing. "That's me on the Glenwood swing!"
Our very own copy arrived this week from the poor snow-covered UPS man. And thank you Amazon for your 10 cent books!
Nate and I both won free books from goodreads giveaways this past week. Score! Authors give away copies on the site before they are officially published, so that they can get early feedback. Nate's book arrived already, and it's really cool! It's not even the official book yet, the cover is just plain, and it doesn't have the dedication or finished title page yet. It is a murder mystery, but I'm still excited to read it, even though that's not really my type of book. Nate is starting to get more into reading lately, which I love. I'm converting him to reading, and he's converted me to miracle whip (this took about 6 years...). A good marriage is all about compromise, folks! :) I absolutely LOVE a quiet evening snuggled on the sofa, each of us with a book, some jazz playing. So much better than those lame zombie shows he likes. Love you, honey!!
Let's do a little daydreaming, shall we? (Lindsay, I know you'll be with me on this...!)
Someday.
I would love a room in my house just for books and reading.

I loveeee that first room. You could make that happen in your apartment right? haha you do have that long window. Seeing kids books and hearing you adore your babies makes me want both of those things: babies and a reason to buy kids books. I love them. I got Jeremy a kids book about love for part of his Valentines gift. I am going to make it a tradition on V-day to buy a book about love (probably kids ones) so by the time I have kids of my own I'll have a good collection in the works
Someday I will have a floor to ceiling library in my house. On a side note, I LOVE miracle whip. I'm still trying to convert Spencer. He'll eat it but it's not his favorite. I can't believe that someone doesn't like it. It's so much better than mayo!
The first was my favorite too! I feel like I have a good queue of books to read for the next little while--should keep me reading. Miracle Whip--ewww! :)
This Lindsay is TOTALLY with you. A few of those pics gave me CHILLS! Fun post, and YAY for good books!!
Okay, first and somewhat random, and idea I heard that I want to share with Laura Beth (first comment above). When the time comes and you do get pregnant with your first child... at the baby shower... instead of people giving you a card with your gift... have them give a children's book - a GREAT way to start a home library for your children! I so wish I had known about it when I was pregnant with #1 and now that I'm pregnant with #3 it is sort of pointless because we have a TON of books already!
LOVE all the photos of the library/reading rooms... not sure which would be my favourite but if we ever live in a big house (doubtful) I will have a dedicated library/reading room!
And I'm with DeAnn, Miracle Whip is DISGUSTING!! :-)
