Reading with me daughter

Books I read with my little lover :-) :
1. Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink By: Diane de Groat
2. There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves! By: Lucille Colandro (Maddie's favorite)
3. Princess Party By: Joy Allen

Date: November 19
Time: 8:00pm-8:30pm (Maddie's bedtime) :-)

I read books to Maddie every night and so I figured, why not write about it? Reading books with my daughter is probably my favorite part of the night because she is always nice and clean from her bath and she looks so comfortable in her pjs, plus it gives us a chance to snuggle, talk about our day a little more and really bond.  Maddie loves books and currently would rather have a book than a toy. I hope she will always enjoy reading that her passion for it never goes away.  I'm glad we can bond over books and that I get the opportunity to snuggle my little girl every night while reading to her.
Book: Breaking Dawn

Author: Stephanie Meyer

time read: november 26 5:30pm-12:00am

I tried to avoid reading anything associated with twilight because there was such a big deal about it and I didn't really want to follow the trend but the weekend my boyfriend insisted that stop boycotting it and decided that we should watch ALL the movies back to back. We did and then I instantly became hooked. I decided that I since I watched the movies I needed to read the books. I didn't put down the book Breaking Dawn until I was finished with the whole book. I tend to have that problem with any book though. :-) I must say that I found the books and the movies to be very similar, which is really rare because I think most of time when a book is turned into a movie they change many things in the process but that was wasn't the case with the twilight series.

New book

Book: The Memory Keeper's daughter

date read: November 4th

time read: I read at differnt times throughout the day/night.

I really enjoyed this book. Once I got into it, it was hard to put it down. I saw they turned this book into a movie on lifetime and I watched it but was not too impressed. The book is definitely better.  I found it hard to get into reading this week because it has been such a stressfull week but I am glad that I did read because like I mentioned last week in my post, when I do read, it tends to help me feel less stress.
