My Kiddo's and picnic's

So most of you know I work for and with people who have disabilities. I love them...I really do. I think they are amazing. I think they are so cute, and precious. So yesterday was our yearly picnic with our families who are taking care of our kiddo's (some biological families, and some foster families). We had this huge bounce house and a bounce slide. (HUGE success) We had a puppet show and so much food. YUMM!! They had sooo much fun and watching them have so much fun was so great. Plus we had amazing prizes that we gave out. (thanks to all the donations we received) I am so lucky to work in a field where I can see such amazing things.

So it's true I do sometimes follow the masses. I really wasn't too excited about this book. I had read the other three AND the Host. I think that is why I wasn't as excited. I felt like I had had enough with the super natural love triangles. But then a good friend started talking about it (thanks Mel) and before I knew it I was excited about it. How pathetic am I??? Well at least I am NOT alone. And I did start reading the series before the movie was really being talked about. So I didn't START by following the crowd...I was one of the leaders...at least I tell myself that to feel better. :)

So what did I think??? I actually liked it. I liked how she seemed less helpless and how she doesn't question what her feelings for Jacob are. (that would have REALLY bugged me). I don't want to give too much away, so I will leave it at that. I think it took me a total of like 11 or 12 hours. I started Monday night and then had to go to bed. But then finished it the next day. Good think I was feeling horrible, when I am feeling horrible i like to read...lets be honest I almost always like to read. :)

IF anyone has a desire to read this series, but not pay for all the books I do have them so you are welcome to borrow them.
