Bought from Habitat for Humanity in a grab bag for $2.00. My 22 mth old daughter helped me fill the bag so perhaps this wasn't my choice of reading but shall give it a go! Had to love the enthusiasm though.

I have just finished my current read Sugar Cage by Connie May Fowler, and have literally rolled the dice to see what I am about to read next. And, ta-da, this book is up next. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to crack it open this evening :)

I'm going to do something a little different here - make a daily entry. My sig file on my email has a passage from my current read. This changes daily, usually first thing in the morning. I thought it would be nice for you to see these quotes, too.

Why these particular passages? I look at the spot where I stopped when we turned out the light, hubby reads too, and see if anything is worthwhile sharing. Sometimes it's cliche but when it is, I often suspend my preconceptions and look at it as if seeing it for the first time. Often the imagery is sharp. Anyhow enough babbling. …

Royce sat braced against a large rock staring at the night sky. Hundreds of stars sparkled against the darkness, almost as if each wished to prove their own brilliance. p315

As we're moving back over the ocean to New Zealand I am finally releasing some books. I am sending this to some fellow pre-school teachers.
