I just had to share a site that I recently discovered.  They have a decent assortment of online children’s books for free.   They don’t have much for children over age 7, however, it’s perfect for us.  The more books you read online, the more books are donated across the world.  You can pick a campaign that you wish to read for and help bring books to children in communities that need them.

Speaking of books. . .LOL.  I got The Hunger Games trilogy for Christmas and finally got around to reading the first book.  I finished it a few nights ago and last night I started the next book.  I got thirty pages into it. . .THIRTY. . .and I realized I was reading the wrong book.   I was reading the third and not the second.  I was a bit confused, but I thought maybe they jumped ahead and then would go back and explain what happened.  As I got more into it, I realized that was not the case.  Wow, I felt foolish.  So, I will start on the correct book tonight.  Sheesh. . .

Hahaha. I can just see you thinking.."huh? This doesn't make sense."... Lol. At least you figured it out! But 30 pages is a pretty long time to read the wrong one! At least you made me laugh :) not as much as "woah. That is one big picture of my cat!".... I still laugh out loud when I type that. Sooo hit me so funny that day... Lol. Have a good night!

As abruptly as the second book ends, I wish I'd read the first 30 pages of the third book first! I hate when an author leaves you hanging. Even Alex was tight lipped about what would happen next, no matter how much I asked. I'm hoping that Katie can finish her required reading for school quick enough to finish the first book before the movie comes out.
