Pure Joy

Oh, how I loved this book!!

I know not everyone has read it, so I won't say anything except that I loved it and think Stephenie Meyer is a genius!! Such a great read!!!

Distress!

Despite a couple of books from Ryann & my brother-in-law, I had nothing I was excited about reading, and still a couple of weeks to go before Breaking Dawn... I can't live without a good book! I had noticed a lot of you loved this one, so even though it's not the kind of book I usually read, I picked it up out of desperation. When I was packing for Utah, this book was the smallest and consequently won it's way into my bulging suitcase... I was hooked as soon as I started!! I really didn't remember much about Anne Boleyn, so a little more than halfway in, I stupidly decided to check her out on wikipedia to see how historically accurate the book is. Why did I do that?? I was totally distraught to discover that Henry had her beheaded!! So harsh!!

I am still loving the book and almost done. I feel like I can totally relate to Mary's longing for a simple life just raising her children. I can't wait to get the dvd and see if they did the book justice. I will definitely read another book by Phillipa Gregory - thanks to everyone who mentioned it! :)
