I had heard something about the brother/relationship being intense. I will try and read it before him, since he will surely finish it before me if I try and read it with him:)carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518787822161413711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-90539396961398492742012-03-10T13:02:16.572-07:002012-03-10T13:02:16.572-07:00If Josh read Hunger Games I don't see anything...If Josh read Hunger Games I don't see anything wrong with Ender's Game. It is similar and it does involve killing and death (and his brother does some demented things), but the overall story in the end teaches compassion for others. Because of the mature subject matter I think you should read it with him or before him just so you can discuss some of the things in there. It follows Ender at such a young age that there is really no language or intimacy (but they do use the word fart in name calling a lot! That actually made me laugh).tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306159552034405859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-32007934333032643472012-03-10T07:35:46.094-07:002012-03-10T07:35:46.094-07:00I love good book recomendations . . .

Right now Quinn and I are reading "Killing Lincoln", and it's really good. I'm like you Caroline . . . when I find a book I love, I have a hard time putting it down until it's done. That's one of the reasons that it takes me awhile to start a new one after I finish one. I gotta get caught up on things . . . like paying attention to my family. ;)kjirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073901278084476715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-44300466104806169632012-03-09T19:59:07.314-07:002012-03-09T19:59:07.314-07:00thanks for the suggestion, caroline! it IS hard t...thanks for the suggestion, caroline! it IS hard to find time to read when you're a mom, but i love getting into a good book and i keep feeling like i need to start a new one soon. like everything else in my life, i've created a pinterest board for books, so i pinned this on to it and hopefully i can find time for it, soon. one of my favorites was The Help. i'm betting you read it but if not, it's most definitely worth the time. you won't want to put it down though. i was SO SAD when i finished it.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449129505158179549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-54423560307055286202012-03-09T15:39:58.956-07:002012-03-09T15:39:58.956-07:00Thanks for the ideas and suggestions girls! Becaus...Thanks for the ideas and suggestions girls! Because I don't read often enough, like you said Sare it's nice to have a list of goods ones on hand when the opportunity presents itself. Sare- your book sounds really interesting! Tare-you will enjoy the discussion of this book at your meeting, for sure!! I have heard Enders Game is a good one. Josh wants to read it- do you think it's appropriate for his age? I did let him read Hunger Games (because I read them, enjoyed them and felt ok about it). In your eyes, how does it compare to hunger games?carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518787822161413711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-24571739088659305952012-03-09T14:23:34.743-07:002012-03-09T14:23:34.743-07:00I'm the book club host for our book club in No...I'm the book club host for our book club in November and this is the book I chose! I'm so glad to hear you recommend it since I haven't read it and was just hoping it would be good. Its always scary to choose a book for book club if you haven't read it, but now I can feel a little more comfortable with my choice :) I read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card in Jan. and really enjoyed it, maybe you would too (its nothing like Unbroken, its just a recommendation)!tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306159552034405859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-40921228496729689292012-03-09T14:20:35.904-07:002012-03-09T14:20:35.904-07:00I love suggestions for books, even if I don't ...I love suggestions for books, even if I don't read too often! Its nice to already have a list of books when I'm finally in the mood to read.<br /><br />Everyone has probably already read this series, but I really like Hunger Games (I'm excited for the movie to come out!). Right now I'm reading The Well Trained Mind. Its really interesting and gets your brain thinking about your kids and their education. So far, its about HOW to homeschool, but for me, its just opening my mind to other possibilities even along with public school.<br /><br />ps. Crossing my fingers that the people coming by today will love the house!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976293698501585719noreply@blogger.com
