In reply to Allie. Hi Allie, the weather has been unseasonably warm for the most part, with a moderate amount of snow. We are supposed to get some rather blizzardy weather tomorrow, but we'll see... I think these milder temps are spoiling me! I have ordered the book from the library, so it should be here soon and I can start on it. :-)

In reply to Christy Stansbury. Wow, you are ahead of me Christy. I stopped at chapter 11 a few days ago and I'm dying to finish it. I'm headed south for the weekend tomorrow and taking this book along for the plane trip.

In reply to Christy Stansbury. Finished in less than 24 hours. Yes, my kids had cereal for dinner and I fell asleep with the book around midnight. Amazing story. Glad I have some time to process before we "discuss."

Allie, you mom is a gem for not giving up on Cindy – and wow – what a miracle for her to reawaken! I know first hand how hard it is to have a seemingly one way conversation – my dad was very ill and often could not communicate what he needed to before he moved from here on to his forever home.
I so love that you shared the Ghost Boy – I opened the link in a new tab and I hope to get it – what a beautiful story of God’s ability to surprise us -eh? Love it – Im gonna try and make your deadline but no promises. BTW – Allie thank you for sharing this

In reply to Mandi Korn.

Dear Mandi, I so hear you. I don’t watch the news anymore. Just can’t take it. I scan the highlights on the internet so my head’s not completely in the sand. (Or snowbank around here. Ha.) Anyway, I do think this will be an emotional book, FYI. I’ve read through Chapter 11 so far. I’ve laughed and also cried. But it may not be the right time for you to read it, and only you would know. Speaking of, right after Hudson was born, the book Unbroken came out. I have STILL not read it.. I did see the movie. But anyway, I knew I was not in a frame of mind where I could read about the torture in the Japanese prison camps, etc. Someday I’ll read it. So no pressure, and you can come back and read people’s comments on the 19th and maybe get a better idea if you ever want to read it. I think Martin’s journey is excruciating, but his eventual triumph is over the top incredible. Hope you and Boo are enjoying the snow! Drink lots of hot chocolate and snuggle often. (and take some pics.!) xo

In reply to Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary. Friend, I so look forward to hearing from you on my weekend posts. I will try to be very careful not to mention spoilers on the 19th. I've been marking interesting passages as I go with little stick it notes. Thanks for the love, love you back girl. I'm glad you got snow at your house and wish I was in that snow globe too. Enjoy! XOXO

In reply to Carina. Hey thanks Carina, how are you doing up there? Did you get snow last weekend? We missed out on the white stuff around here. Hope you can read the book, but I know you are super super busy right now. I am in Chapter 11 and have already laughed and cried. The chapters are super short. What a story though. XOXO
