I am a 32 year old stay at home mother of two busy and fun kids. Most nights you can find me plopped in bed with my book next to my husband who is watching tv! I have my masters degree in education and taught elementary school before I became a mom. I hope to pass on my love for reading to my younger ones. One of my favorite quotes is,... more »

    Saw your review on Toobin's The Nine and wondered if you'd like to join a group I just established: The US Supreme Court.

    The group is found at

    Hope to see you there.

    I think Water for Elephants was great! Really entertaining. What can I say about it? it's about love, circus life (including what the animals endour), really a life he didn't expect to find himself in. hard to stop reading

    Instead of Water for Elephants choose: Modoc, or Echo of the Elephants (good photos), or the movie by Disney entitled Whispers. Enjoy!

    I do highly recommend East of Eden. It is the best of John Steinbeck.

    Over all of those other books, I recommend Time Traveler's Wife if you haven't already read it. I have a copy for you to borrow. One of my all time faves!

    Yes. The story is so unusual and random, but I really did like it. I'm reading a fun book right now that I think you'd like called Outlander. A good vacation book. I'd offer you my copy, but I'm in the middle of it still. I bet you could find it at the library b/c it's been around awhile. Another great vacation book is Eat Pray Love (if you haven't read it already). When do you leave for Hawaii?

    I loved East of Eden. I read it one year at Lake Powell. I think you would like it. It's really long and it's Steinbeck, so there are spots where he describes the landscape of Central Cali in great detail, but I remember REALLY liking it. I totally loved Water for Elephants! um...Yes, Come Back is a true story. It is hard to read because of that fact, but it's taking me forever to finish because I have so much reading for school! :-(
    I love you!!

    Hi~ I actually was surprised at how much I liked it. It was a fast and easy read. I wanted to watch the movie again after reading it and of course, it was better than the movie. Very detailed and is very entertaining. I'll give you my copy- when I see you next (hopefully this week). Talk to you soon.
