Book Obession!

I really fell in love with reading in about the 5th or 6th grade, I have never been a fast reader (I tend to read every word on the page). I learned to read with the help of my oldest sister, Teresa, and a Berenstain Bears book at the age of 5, I was in Kindergarten. I remember curling up next to Tee-Tee in the evenings with our book  in our dad's red recliner and her helping me to sound out words and to recognize them. And since then a few books and authors have stood out over the years:

- The Chocolate Touch
- The Harry Potter series (though I never finished Book 7 = shame)
- Pride & Prejudice
- V.C. Andrews (author)
- Jane Green (author)
- The Godfather
- The Time Traveller's Wife
- The Twilight Saga
And I just recently finished The Hunger Games Trilogy (AMAZING)! I can't wait for the movie (3/24/12)!
Now, I know there are a lot of great books out there that I haven't read. When I read, I read for pleasure and entertainment, not to really make me think too hard!!

Do you have a love of reading too? What has been your favorite book? Any suggestions?

Sad Day...

So my post last week about possibly adding to our family has been halted! We both got freaked out and decided that for now we like just the two of us and with the money up front that a pet would cost us, we could do a lot more for our home! Ugh being a grown up sucks sometimes!

But we did the responsible thing and really sat down and thought it through! Plus we want to take a trip for our anniversary this November and would prefer not to have a dog to try and find somewhere for it to stay or take with us. So, we decided that we might revisit this whole addition thing next year!

I am sad but I freaked out! I've only ever had outside pets and living in the city would mean having an in-door pet, which I'm not sure I'm ready for just yet!
