Books, Books, Books...

I love books, but once I became a mother books have definitely taken a back seat. In fact, except for a few Agatha Christies, the only adult book I can remember reading is the DaVinci Code. I just cant understand how all my friends find so much time to read. They have book shelves on their blog, and they go to book clubs. Almost every woman and girl I knew was reading the Twilight books last year. Those books are huge!! How do they do it? A few years ago, when my daughter was still reading children's books, I would pick them up and read too. I love children's books. Even If I had the time for more mature reading, I think I would still prefer the children's books. Anyway... a few months ago, my daughter asked me if I remembered the book we had read with the girl who finds a secret door, and it had dolls in it with button eyes. Yes, I said, I do remember reading that book and I remember it was a good one, but neither of us could remember the name. She wanted to read it again. Only a few days latter we saw the commercial for a movie with the name "Coraline" that was it. We went to the library, and checked it out. The plan was that we could all read it, and then go and see the movie. Kayla read it first, then it was my turn. It was so fun to be reading again. I picked up the book every chance that I got and read. Thank goodness the chapters were short! I could read a little bit in between all of my mom duties, and when ever Adam was not looking, I was reading. I even found myself one day trying to play wii bowling with Adam with the baby in my lap. I was holding the book in one hand and the wii remote in the other, I would read, bowl, read, bowl. I was a woman obsessed, Luckily, it is a short book. The book was good, but I have yet to see the movie. Next I saw a commercial for the movie Inkheart. Another children's book. I thought hey, I should read that one too. Big mistake, again I was obsessed, and this time the chapters were longer and the book was over 500 pages. I found myself reading every chance I could and forgetting to do things like make dinner. LOL! my kids did not mind that to much! Oh well as much as I want to pick up another good book, It will have to wait until I get caught up on the house. Then again, everyone else is doing it why cant I?
