RIP Abbigale VonRotten

Well today when I came home I found my baby girl had finaly passed away. I will miss her so much, but I am also very happy for her. She has had such a hard life, from having puppies at an early age to getting her leg amputated, having a puppy pulled out of her while pregnant and finaly going blind and getting diabetes. We've been struggling with the later for about a year and a half now and it was definately time that she went and played with Schultz again. I feel sad that I will never feel or see her love for me again, but I think she stuck around way too long for me.

We will love and miss you forever Abbs. You will forever be my princess.


Back in her hayday...

Together again.

The day we brought our new puppy home....

Don't laugh.

Reading Update

I know all 4 of you really enjoyed reading my post about reading so I've decided to keep it going......maybe a bit more updating as I go..

The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich

What can I say other than, just watch the movie? Basically the same thing as the movie with less information. You don't know how the trial ends, or anything about the trial and what took place after so really much less information. I'm glad I read it but really unless your like totally into it then just forget it was ever written.

Pale Demon (The Rachel Morgan series #9)by Kim Harrison.

This is the latest installment of my favorite series. It left me giggling in the restroom days after finishing it. Kim Harrison definitely has a way of leaving you feeling good at the end of every book no matter what has happened during the events of that book. I loved this book and will probably love all the rest she plans to write for this series. Greatest paranormal series ever!!!! Like a million times better than Twilight, and we all know I loved those.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

After sitting on my shelf for three years I finally dusted this one off and decided to really dig in and get it over with.....I started it when it came out of course because I was a Twilight freak, but could never really get into it, so it went back on the shelf. I have to say I am liking it more than I thought I would, but its still not my favorite. I'm not sure anything is really gonna happen in this one. The story is just completely lacking.......I don't know what else to say about it. I don't dislike it by any means. I guess we'll see if anything exciting happens in the next 224 pgs.I'll keep you updated.

GoodReads.com

Well its a new year, and I haven't posted yet.

At the beginning of the year I set a goal on my goodreads page to read 15 books this year...........well I've already done that so I bumped it up a bit to 25. If any of you don't have a goodreads page and you like to read, be it just occasionally or often like my family, you should really sign up. Its a great resource to find new books you wouldn't have discovered otherwise and you can read lots of other people's comments on the books. Since I have signed up I have significantly branched out my reading. GoodReads.com

So far I have read this year the Millennium series...ya know, the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo....I really enjoyed these books, they definitely aren't for the faint of heart though. Lots of violence against women kinda books but ends on a good note. They are also very detailed and I know so people don't like this kind of writing so I'll leave that up to you.

I have also read the entire Pretty Little Liars series. These are really fun quick reads at about 300 pages each and written I believe on about a ninth grade maybe even tenth grade level. They are very dramatic and leave you wondering what in the world they could possibly find out next. Anyway I found them very entertaining and I had a hard time not laughing out loud while reading at work. I'm very excited for the ninth book that comes out in July and am very glad the Author decided to continue with the series.

The last series I have read recently is the Percy Jackson series, I loved these books. They were so cute and just fun to read. I will probably read them again one day. They are about a boy who's father is Poseidon, so you get to learn a lot about Greek Mythology which I thought was fun, since I've always been a bit curious about it. If anyone likes Harry Potter, these are definitely a close second. HP will always be my favorite. These are also a bit less complicated and a lot easier to read and keep straight than the HP series too, which I think actually makes them a bit more appropriate for the age group they were intended.

Right now I am in the middle of reading The Accidental Billionaires. The story of Facebook. So far its not far off of the movie. If you haven't seen the Social Network its worth seeing. Its very interesting and I enjoyed the way the movie was put together and how they tell the story. Though I'm not sure if its all accurate I still find it interesting. I guess I'll see how the book works out compared to the movie, though I've heard that the book was written before they reached a settlement so it kinda leaves you hanging. Good reason to read the book before you see the movie if you ask me.
