Thankfully Reading Weekend
November 28th, 2009 by the1stdaughter
This weekend the Book Blog Social Club is hosting the “Thankfully Reading Weekend” and we are taking this opportunity to participate. I truly am so thankful for the chance we have to read and the blessing it is to be able to teach others (especially my own children) the joy that books can bring to your life.
During our Thanksgiving festivities we had the chance to talk about some of our favorite books with relatives including our recently reviewed I’ve Seen Santa by David Bedford. One of the books that was the topic of conversation throughout many of the conversations was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It’s a favorite and there was no way to get around sharing it with everyone.
For now though, it’s off to finish reading Hummingbirds by Joshua Gaylord for The1stdaughter and Merry Christmas Mouse! by Laura Numeroff for The Turkeybird.

We talked about a few books to at Thanksgiving. I didn’t think of bringing up the Hunger Games.
I love Laura Numeroff! She has been a family favorite for years. I just saw (at the Pioneer Woman signing in fact) “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake…” and was sorely tempted to purchase it.
Beth F – I had to bring it up, I was around a group of girls who all loved the Twilight books and hadn’t read anything since. It’s such a great transitional book from the Twilight books and so much better!
Robyn – I know! I remember reading it when we were little and I was tempted to buy the little stuffed mouse they have at Kohl’s because it’s so cute and only $5.
Happy reading!
