NOVEL OBSESSION

We bought C The Hunger Games trilogy for Easter. He's really got into them and on the second book which is very impressive for Connor.

 I must admit the only hype I had heard about this trilogy was through movie promos until I read TL's blog- Novel Obsession. She not only inspired me to buy the books for Connor but read them myself and read again in general, after a long hiatus of not reading anything other than baby books.  If you are looking for some fresh reading material I really like this blog, she has a great assortment of book reviews.

Steve grabbed the first book out of his room last night and I'm on chapter 4 and easily getting through it while breastfeeding. (Yes, I can finally read a book while I feed Euan) 

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie as a family after I'm finished reading it.

Love you forever, by Robert Munsch

My husband loves Robert Munch. He was his preschool teacher in Guelph and is a favourite in our family at reading time. We have most of his books which we started to read to Euan while he was still in my tummy. My favourite story is Love you forever. Steve can do a lot of Bob's voices just like this video.... Enjoy, it's a great one!

THE GIRLFRIENDS GUIDE TO PREGNANCY

I received this book in the post last week from a Canadian mother also here in England and what a treat! I laughed so hard I cried when I shared some of the chapters with my husband. It was so nice to be reassured that I'm not the only mad mom to be out there. I'm in my 3rd trimester now and loving it!

MR MEN

Yes Please! Sometimes I like to post things on my blog so Husband remembers how much I love it. I know it's too early to buy books for baby but I really love the Mr. Men books.

GILLESPIE AND I

As soon I saw this book my heart flipped with the desire to read it. I hope the read is as good as the title. *wink*

By Jane Harris:

As she sits in her Bloomsbury home, with her two birds for company, elderly Harriet Baxter sets out to relate the story of her acquaintance, nearly four decades previously, with Ned Gillespie, a talented artist who never achieved the fame she maintains he deserved. Back in 1888, the young, art-loving, Harriet arrives in Glasgow at the time of the International Exhibition. After a chance encounter she befriends the Gillespie family and soon becomes a fixture in all of their lives. But when tragedy strikes - leading to a notorious criminal trial - the promise and certainties of this world all too rapidly disorientate into mystery and deception. Featuring a memorable cast of characters, infused with atmosphere and period detail, and shot through with wicked humour, "Gillespie and I" is a tour de force from one of the emerging names of British fiction.
