i'm hungry!

i recently finished reading

COLD SASSY TREE

and my stomach is still rumbling!

i want

coconut cake

and

pound cake

and

pie

and fried chicken...

the book is set in the late 1800's early 1900's in the south.

i guess it's that southern hospitality.

everyone in the book seems to always have a cake or pie ready to share with a neighbor-

when they are trying to get close enough to catch the latest gossip,

or to serve when visitors drop by

or to comfort others when tragedy strikes.

i want a cake sitting on my counter to share (and to eat myself-of course).

a part of me wishes we still lived like this-

but

then i remember that i like

flushing toilets

and

quiet cars

and

shoes on my children's feet.

finished

so, i got all my "chores" done this morning and then neglected everything for the rest of the day and finished the book-finally!

it was very good but in the rare case that there is someone besides me out there who still hasn't finished it i won't say anything. sad that this may be the last of Harry-or is it?

well, i better go find my kids-i'm sure they're hungry-he-he!

good read

several people have been talking about the good books they have been reading. personally i don't have a book going on right now but last summer i read a great book! Goose Girl by Shannon Hale!
i loved it! like i said in my profile, i love juvenile literature! it was just such a good read! i actually didn't want to keep reading because i didn't want it to end! i need to find another good one like this!
