and it's cold!

So it's December are we are out of school due to ice and very cold nights, which we usually do not have that much of. All the better to read with! ALLEGANT....what did you think? I couldn't wait for it, and loved it. Except (WARNING HERE COMES A SPOILER!!) I was so upset that you know who didn't make it in the end. I mean after all she had been through......really?..............well she didn't and maybe that makes it more realistic. I think I have overdosed on HALLMARK movies while we have been out....somewhat unrealistic but nice to watch. THE BOY ON THE WOODEN BOX by Leon Leyson, one of the new Lone Stars, was quite fabulous. Not an exactly happy read, but it seemed realist to me. A sad time. We must read so that we never repeat the same mistake. Such Horrors!!!!!!! We have so much to be thankful for. I think I will always remember one quote from the book....when something else was taken away from them whether it be the only blanket they had a night, or so many other things that were taken away, they repeated, "If this is all that happens,...... meaning they could survive this, thus giving themselves hope. What a brave man Leon Leyson was and what a remarkable memoir this is! Don't miss it!
