If you know me you know, that like my Mother, I love to read a good book! Unlike my Mother though, I am pretty picky about books.
It has to be something that can suck me in and totally take up all of my time.
You know, like a good love story, or mystery.
Because of this, a couple of birthday's ago, Jonny bought me a Kindle fire.
Oh how I love that Kindle fire!
Well, a couple of months back I went to charge my precious little device, and found that it wasn't charging!!!!!!!!!
Noooooo!!! This can't be!
How? Why? What is happening!?
Everytime I plug it in, nothing happened. This was a sad, sad, day. How will I ever find out what is happening in the land of love, and mystery!?
I'm not sure if anyone has seen my posts on Facebook, about my cousin Rachel, but she is an author! Not just any ol' author, but a REALLY great one!
She writes fiction and fantasy. Two of my favorites! Well, while I am without my beautiful shiney book reader, Rachel is writing more and more! My Mom keeps telling me, "Oh Jen, you really need to read her latest, its SO good!!!"
You see, my beautiful, loving, mother likes to torture me sometimes... lovingly, of course.
So, time goes by and I do my housework, take the kids to school, pick them up, grocery shop, hang upside down, and soon accept the fact that life goes on without reading a book.
However, I'm sure this was God's plan, so that I would pick up the Bible more, and find some really great scripture to study.. and I did.
Then, He decided to bless me by finding Jonny's tablet (it had been lost)! So I pick that sucker up and start in on my cousin's newest creation!! My Mother was right!!! I am completely sucked in!
The problem is, when I get sucked in to such great writing, my kids find this the absolute BEST time to ask me 4,000 questions. Even better, my favorite.. "Mommy, can you come here???"
"What do you need?!"
"Please, come here, I can't explain it, you have to see it!"
So I geeet up, from my comfy reading position to go to where they are, and see THEM in there comfy position on there bed and they will usually say:
"Look how cute Dolly is laying on my bed!!"
Really!??!
"Yes, that is very cute... if you call me in here again to look at the dog laying on your bed, Daddy is going to get mad!"
"why?"
"Because, I am going to throw this tablet at you, and it will probably break on impact!!!" "I love you!"
They usually laugh at me, because they think I'm kidding.
So, anyway I am a very, very, happy lady, now that I have something to read again! All is right in the world.
If you like love, fantasy, and fiction, check out some of my cousin's books!!! Even better go to Amazon and type, Rachel Higginson.
