I just finished reading These is my Words by Nancy Turner and I definitely recommend it to anyone. It is easily the best book I've read this year. It is fiction, but is based on the author's family memoirs. It tells the story of Sarah Prine, in her own words, who lived in the Arizona territories in the late 1800's. I won't go into detail, just trust me, it's a good book. The book inspired me to:
1. Keep a journal, which is something I struggle with, but would like to do.
2. Read more good books and continually seek to educate myself.
3. Learn to shoot a rifle while riding a horse. Just kidding...but she is one tough chick.
Now I'm reading The Perfect Mile, recommended by my brother Nate (a runner). I'll let you know how it is.

I have heard this was a good book. I will definitely have to read it. I hope work doesn't suck too bad tonight. I am just hopping into bed. Not to make you jealous or anything, but....
I loved this book! I have been trying to get JoRae to read it for YEARS (you'll have to work on her too). And, just so you know, I didn't change my background because of you, I just needed a change. I won't even be bugged if you copied me on my new one. The truth will just be known. You want to be JUST like me!
emma- when you learn to ride a horse and shoot a rifle show me how so i can add it to my talents -you know since we don't have mary poppins genes.
