My 4 Favorite Books of My Junior High Years on 4/4



To say S.E. Hinton was like a old friend from Junior High would be an understatement.  These four books were read, reread, and read some more during my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade years. I did love the movies as well, but the books were amazing.  I remember when a classmate tried to fudge on a book report on The Outsiders, our English teacher just looked at my best friend and I and shook her head.  I think we had looks of horror on our faces as if he had committed a crime.  My hope is that my children can find a series like this that touches their heart and soul and becomes a part of who they are.  Stay Gold!!!

I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
