great read



Today I finish this book These is My Words by Nancy Turner. Wow what an amazing book. I couldn't put it down. I stayed up until 4 this morning trying to read it. I felt like I was living in the Territory. I'm amazed at the sacrifice that those before me made so that I could have it so nice. I hope I can leave as great as a legacy. It just made me think about the pioneers and my own ancestors that settled in the Mormon Colonies and Southern Arizona. What a hard life. If you haven't read it you should I would have to say that it is one of my all time favorites.

On a little side because I did finish this book so fast, I laugh at myself because I love read so much. If someone was to tell me that would enjoy reading more than sleeping sometimes I would have laughed at them. I hated to read as a kid. I guess I found it bothersome to read inside of hanging out with friends or watching t.v. I think it's also funny that I have a key chain that has my name on it(you know the little kiosk you see at the mall) well on the key chain to describe says "I'm a great leader and lover of books" When I got that key chain I laughed because reading wasn't my thing who would have thought I would change my mind.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that book. There are two more in the series, neither of which I've read, but I hear they are good too.
