Finished So Yesterday and really enjoying Touching Spirit Bear. The main character reminds me of sooo many kids. Kids I deal with everyday! I wish we could send them to a remote island. HAH! I hadn't realized that So Yesterday was written in 2005. I thought it was more current than that. When I read books set in New York, I want to go to New York.
I am kinda on my last few drops of energy here. Fading fast. It is 2:25 here now. So. Sleepy.

The reading buddies
My babies. The children. She and He. I have many names for them. This morning, they have been chasing each other through the house. Now they are quietly sleeping, thus allowing me to read uninterrupted. They are normally not this angelic.
