What I've Read - #1

Really good, but way too short! A professor gets his first Kindle and discovers that it contains newspapers from alternative timelines! What other histories will he discover?
Fascinating book! Definitely makes me look at marketing and social issues differently. He takes a look at what "tips" a situation from just a once-in-a-while event into a sweeping epidemic. Very intriguing read and quite insightful.



This book was much harder to get through than the first two in the series. I think this probably was because the depths of hopelessness were fully explored in it. I'm glad I read it though and I'm glad it ended like it did, but it was still a very sad and difficult book to read. 


(For anyone not familiar) this is the 3rd and final book in the Hunger Games series. If you plan to watch the upcoming HG movie, I highly recommend reading at least that first book first. That's the best one of the series, in my opinion, and is a very powerful and quick read.

    I'm probably the only person on earth that's never read Stephen King! Thanks for sharing!

    Ha, I've never read Stephen King either...I saw IT when I was way to young to be watching it, and I think I'm permanently scarred- and way to chicken to read his work!
    I did just finish Mockingjay though...ohmygoodness! What a crazy ending! I think it was a lot slower than the other two, and I was rooting for the other guy, but I liked how the story came full circle.

I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
