My Latest Read

I just finished a great trilogy. They are futuristic books about what our society would be like if everyone was made supermodel beautiful. It should take away all eating disorders, hatred over races... but the kids don't have a choice as to whether or not they want to be beautiful. It's a great trilogy that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys reading. They are by Scott Westerfield. Uglies is the first book, followed by Pretties and then Specials.

Wouldn't that be nice if we were born that way...my personal opinion. Are these books hard to follow? I am not much a bookworm, but these look kinda cool. I forgot to ask you today, what kind of camera did you buy? Mine is broke, and if I can have pics like yours then I want your camera. I need help in that dept. I might even want you to take some pics for me of my brats. I guess I just want nice pics too!!!

I am reading those next! And I LOVED Twilight. (and the others). So, it is great to hear from you and catch up a bit. Where has the time gone? Your kids are beautiful and so are your pics. WTH?!! I need to learn how to do that. :)

OK so I'm so glad you found my blog and commented... it's so great to see you! You have an adorable family and I can't wait to read up on your whole blog. :) Does Kelly have a blog or something? You said you got to mine from her... but I don't see hers. Help me. Are you in AZ for a long time... what is the plan for when your hubby graduates? Maybe I should read your blog and get updated before I start in with all my questions! Ha ha! :) Anyway, it's good to be back in touch, it's been way too long... email me!

Holy cow... I just noticed the time on that comment (because I typed it 3 hours ago but didn't click publish until now). Jana is at my house right now visiting and we just stayed up all night talking like we are 17 again! Anyway, just had to tell you WTH I was commenting on your blog so late. :)

I really liked these books-did you know there is supposed to be another one out in October? I thought it was a trilogy, but with a fourth book, I guess that would make it a series instead....It's called Extras. Scott Westerfield has written a bunch of other books that I really like. All kind of that weird fantasy/reality mix. I liked the Midnighters series-there's one about vampires that I didn't like as much-I can't remember what it is called right now...I'll think of it later. Anyway, happy reading!

Hey Jen,

Your blog is so cute and your kids pictures look adorable. I need to learn how to do that with a camera (or maybe just find someone I can pay to take pictures like that). Can I borrow those books if you are done with them? I am always looking for a good read.
