To Best the Boys

TheAromaofBooks These all sound fun!! I've read The Last Unicorn, but am not opposed to a reread as it has been a LONG time! 5y

Chili I haven‘t read any of them. They all sound good. 5y

ameliashley @hes7 I‘m not in your group but The Last Unicorn was my favorite movie when I was too young to even understand it! 😆 I didn‘t even know it was a book!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks Also just realized that you said you had it narrowed down to five and there are definitely six 😂 But six look nicer in a collage, so I'm down for it! 5y

Jerdencon I haven‘t read any of them- they all look good! 5y

hes7 @TheAromaofBooks 😂😂😂 I totally did have five. Then, I was pulling them off my shelves and was like, “Ooh, this one looks good, too.” 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂 5y

TheAromaofBooks I sadly had trouble narrowing it down to six! 5y

hes7 @TheAromaofBooks It‘s so hard to pick! I think I‘m going to have to use a random number generator or something to make my final choice. 😂 5y

so-so

True to my word, I finished this book. I struggle to rate it and have opted for So-So. This book would have been more interesting had it focused entirely on 1940s France. Having the more modern time period took up space that needed to be filled in elsewhere. That being said, I'm also glad I read it.

Since I got home at 4, I've unloaded the car, done four loads of laundry, made my bed, and read seven pages more than I did the entire week I was on "vacation" with four kids. The nights not over yet. Maybe I can double that page count. ?

Julsmarshall After awhile I learned not to call them "vacations" when I was with my kids. They were "trips". That way, I wasn't so bummed when I came home more exhausted than when I left ??? 8y

LitHousewife @Julsmarshall That is a great tip! The most relaxing part of this "trip" has been the unpacking. ? 8y

Bkwurm I've learned that I have to go on a trip by myself for it to be a "vacation." ? Welcome home and happy reading! 8y

Beckys_Books I'm leaving in the morning for a conference and am hoping to skip most of the networking events and catch up on some reading in the evenings. Might be better than a vacation! 8y

My hermit crab is in Virginia, but two of these four monkeys aren't mine. Does that count for #funphotoFriday?

Liberty

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hahaha! Monkeys definitely count for me! 8y

LitHousewife @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I still haven't reached page 50. I keep trying, though. My husband has promised to take our kids once we get home on Sunday. I going to need it. 😆 8y

They say that God won't give you any more than you can handle. I've found that to be true. The strangers who gave Ethan an emergency inhaler before I got him to the hospital are now fast friends for me and the kids. I went from frazzled stressed out to having the best day in a very long time.

NatalieR Glad to hear everything worked out well for everyone! 👏 8y

Coleen Hooray for you! 8y

Rhondareads So nice😊 8y

I spoke too soon this morning. Those few precious pages at read at breakfast were my only pages. At the ER because my friend's son developed croup/allergies. What a vacation!

CherylDeFranceschi Oh noes! So sorry. 8y

LitHousewife @CherylDeFranceschi Thank you! It's to the point now where I just have to laugh. He's fine now and will be as hyper as the girls. 😊 8y

CherylDeFranceschi @LitHousewife If I remember correctly from when my daughter was little, he'll be even more so because of the steroids! Glad he feels better. Hope the vacation is all uphill from here on!!! 8y

It may not be much, but it's stopped raining and the kids are off exploring. A quiet breakfast with a book and a Diet Coke should never, ever be underestimated.

Megabooks Sorry it didn't last! ☹️ 8y
