And I thought I was the reader in the family!
B.E. came for a visit this weekend and brought her reading material. She finished Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard yesterday. She gave up on Paolini's Eldest, a bit much for a nine-year-old.
Both B.E. and Mila have been fans of the Warrior Cats series for a long time. She quizzed me about the names of some of the cats, and I admitted that I read only a couple of the books and so long ago that I couldn't remember their names off the top of my head. (Yeah, I think I was previewing possible books for Mila at the time--because I don't normally read children's fiction...right?) Anyway, she promised to bring me the first book in the first series, Dawn of the Clans, the next time she comes to visit so I can refresh my memory.
After breakfast this morning, we had breakfast dessert-- a Nutty Buddy each. I should be ashamed, but sometimes the kid has such good ideas.
Ever walk into a room and forget the reason you entered?
I hate it when that happens! Saw this on Ronni Bennet's Time Goes By blog and it explained a lot of things! Now, maybe I'll think a little harder before crossing a doorway.
I often forget why I walked into a room, I usually have to go out and then come back in, even then it doesn't a;ways work.
ReplyDeleteI made the comment and then watched the video, nice to know I am not stupid apart from not watching the video first
DeleteIt certainly made me feel better! I know everyone does this, but the older I get the more it frustrates me. :)
DeleteGood to know young B.E. is a reader too. You will have the pleasure of sharing enthusiasms in future years!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased that all the grands love books! We don't always share the same opinion about books--they love the Percy Jackson books, but I read Rick Riordan's first one several years ago and wasn't impressed. I'm thinking I should give old Percy another try. :)
DeleteOh, good for B. E. ! If children enjoy reading now they always love reading. I had no Internet connection for 3 days. I cannot really say I missed it. I did a lot of enjoyable reading. I do forget what I went after. Usually looking back or returning to where I was reminds me what I was after.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see how people would spend their time if there were no internet connection for three days! I'd be like you and reach for a book, but not everyone enjoys reading. One thing that would be nice is that I wouldn't get so upset about the news for three days!
