A friend has asked me to review the books I have listed on the sidebar. Kind of funny, but ok, I'll do it. First off, I'm reviewing them based entirely on my opinion. I'll start with the latest two I've read.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society...I thought this book was delightful. I chuckled out loud while on the treadmill and I may name my next pet Juliet because I loved this saucy, independent, sweet character. There is history, romance, comedy and drama. Three out of five stars.
Bloody Jack...This is a young adult novel, written for 12-18 year olds. I chose it because I wanted something light and fun to read. It was. The main character, Mary/Jacky, pretends to be a boy and joins the crew of a ship. She is tough and sensitive. Fun reading, and I think the main plot conflict was resolved nicely. For its genre, three out of five stars.
I just started Eat, Pray, Love. It's been on my reading list forever. By the second page I started thinking this may be one of my favorite books of all time. I can't wait to read more!
There you are, my dear friend (you know who you are!). If this review stuff goes badly it is all your fault!

Easter
I have some catching up to do on this site! We were home for Easter, went to church in the morning then had dinner here with aunt, uncle, and cousins. It was nice enough to have an Easter egg hunt outside without bundling up! This has been the nicest spring I remember.We started the day with Easter baskets. What cool bunny girls!
Anja had to show me the chocolate bunny she was eating...
The egg hunt was a big hit...
Anja was learning to blow bubbles...
The kids LOVED silly string!

Science Girls
We made a visit to the Science Center in Bemidji a few weeks ago. Just to update, Elise still loves snakes and asked to hold every single one. By the end of our time there Anja also asked to hold one!
