HBRC Day 11

The 26th line on page 26 "...wire, storage batteries, and electricity."
Ray Bradbury's FAHRENHEIT 451

I finished this just last night.  I get the literal but please help me with any "hidden meanings".  I don't see how an 8th grader is going to understand this on their own.  I sure hope my son's teacher does a good job of teaching it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Challenge #10

Christmas day is winding down.  We had gifts at "Grandma's" house (my mom), helped prepare for and clean up after lunch at my brother's house (40 family members this year), and now sitting in the RV taking a break.

I have never received a book for Christmas other than one asked for...usually the Martha Stewart latest from mom.  This year, although I did mention it, my son and his girlfriend (the sweetest!) surprised me with Hugo Cabret AND Wonderstruck by Selznick.  These are special because it shows me my kids really do listen to me sometimes (or at least the girlfriends do!).

HBRC day 7 Challenge

My favorite book character this year has to be Firestar, the kitty-pet turned warrior and leader of Thunderclan.  Yes, most days he drove me crazy not seeing what was right in front of him but I do have to remember he was just a cat afterall.  I read all six of the WARRIORS series by Erin Hunter between February and April of this year on my kindle.  One day I will continue with the next two series.

Quilt side of my hobbies...

Thought I better add something to my blog about my #1 hobby of quilting.  These are some dresden plates I am working on for a block exchange with some online friends.  After all, I did name my blog with both quilting and children's literature in mind.

Fahrenheit 451

Started reading Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury last night.  My 14 year old son has to read it for school in the spring so thought I would get a jump on it. 

Also just submitted the HBRC day 6 challenge to Karin and Julie...woohoo!  Now I have a few more books on my "to read" list.  Thanks, girls!

ANSWER by David E. Link

Miss Lilly had all the answers for her clients until she met Meg.  Lilly had found her calling as a fortune teller and had some fairly impressive and accurate answers for her clients most days.  When Meg walked through her door that rainy morning with tear stained red cheeks everything changed.  Meg had run away from her abusive adopted parents and was determined to find her birth family.  Lilly couldn't see Meg's past or future and became obsessed with helping Lilly the old fashioned way.  Neither girl had any idea they would become linked the way they did.
