I told myself I wanted to do book reviews every so often just to keep it real. I love to read. I love the written word. I love the smell of books. I love the sound of pages turning. I love fiction. I love coffee table books. I love children's books. I fall in love with authors. I devour stories. I despise myself for reading horrid authors with cliques and bad sentence structures. I despise people who move the book I am reading or steal it or read over my shoulder or, perish the thought, don't want to hear a funny line.
Stories are the yarns with which we unravel the mysteries of reality and understand the intricate weavings of being. God Himself reveals Glorious Truths in stories. I love stories. A truly good story can wrap me up and spit me out a few hours later just a little different. Because of my delight in fiction I struggle a little with carnivores. In other words, I dislike people who tote their reading lists only full of non fiction. I prefer to refer to myself as an omnivoristic reader. Hey did I just write that little bit of hilarious brilliance. I did!
Honestly I have never in my life referred to myself as an omnivoristic reader. I cannot wait for somewhere to use this distinctly strange and rather insipid sounding statement just to see my Hubster's response.
This is beginning to sound like a call to readers instead of Mothers. So I am going to throw what I am reading into the mix. Side note to say sorry to the one lovely lady who I dearly love who I know reads this and is not yet married (maybe there are more) but to you, TD.... "hey lovely lady buy this book for later!"

It is a great book.
My computer won't let me put photos on my pages. I think google is punishing me for not signing up for Google Wallet. Hmmmm.
I will write more on this book and include a cover in days to come. So far best book I have read on mothering. Very convicting, simple, and helpful.
