A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
The stake put on a seminary program and had each ward/branch put on a skit from a certain section of the D&C. It was LOOOOOONG and I still don't understand why everyone loves to put on LOOOOOOONG skits that are, quite frankly, slightly boring. Everyone did basically the same thing: The kids would wander on and off the stage while some narrator would drone on and on in a flat tone of voice. Not sure how that's supposed to inspire these kids to want to read more. It made me want to go home and watch a good movie. Then, after THREE AND A HALF HOURS of this, they told us that now they're going to play fun games and rotate through the church, then eat some food and have a party! Andrew, Claire, and I left. I'm glad we did, too. We got there at 3:30pm. We left at 7pm. The activity ended at almost 10pm. No. Way. Maybe I'm evil not wanting to spend my entire Saturday afternoon at an activity that I was told would only be TOPS 2 hours long. My time is precious and I'd rather spend it with my kids--especially since they had to finish up their finals! Good times.

Emily's books
by Dan Brown
I like that the plot twists and turns a lot...and it makes you think. However, I don't appreciate Dan Brown's endings in his books. I find the endings incongruent with the rest of his stories--why make it a romance for the last chapter...

I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books.
