The Year of Fog continued

So I am still reading this book.  Some books I can get into and I do not want to put them down, guess this is not one of those books.  It's not that I don;t like it because its not that bad, just doesn't really grab my attention.  I did have a sick kid this week so maybe I just didn't have the time or energy to get into it.  They are still searching for Emma. Abby keeps going back to the beach everyday to replay that day that Emma became missing.  The police have volunteers searching day and night.  The police seem to think that she was swept under a tide, but Abby believes that is not the case.  She knows that Emma would not get close enough to the water for that to happen.  The search for Abby is really taking a tole on her relationship with Jake. 

Could not seem to get my 90 minutes in this week.  Hopefully I will finish this book next week and move on to one that can get me hooked!

Week 2 reading blog

For my next book I am reading The Year of Fog.  I called up my cousin the other day to tell her I needed some books to read and she brought over 5-6 books.  I picked this one to read first.  I have had so much going on this week so I have had to read like 10-15 minutes here and there.  I would prefer to just sit down and read for an hour or two but it doesn't always work out that way! 

Anyway, this book is about a woman named Abby who is a photographer.  She is engaged to Jake who is a teacher.  Jake has a daughter who is 6, Emma.  So far in the story Jake has went out of town for a weekend and left Emma in Abby's care.  Abby takes Emma to the beach and finds something she would like to take a picture of.  She let go of Emma's hand only for a few seconds and then when she looked up she couldn't find Emma.  It was really foggy that day, Abby took a look around and couldn't find her.  She called 911 and she called Jake.  Jake came back home and now the whole town is searching for Emma.  So far there are no clues as to what could have happened to Emma.  Her mother could have seen her and decided to take her, she could have drowned in the ocean, a stranger could have taken her, right now no one knows.  I am pretty tempted to look in the back of the book to see if they ever find her, but for now I won't!

Week 1 Reading Blog

For my first week of pleasure reading I read the book Heaven is for Real.  This book is a story told by Todd Burpo.  Todd and his wife Sonja have a daughter Cassie, a son Colton, and a son Colby.  Sonja at one time was pregnant with another child but had a miscarriage.  Todd owns a garage door company and is a pastor at a church.  Sonja works part time as a teacher.  The family does a little bit of traveling, when they do they run into a series of bumps along the way.  Colton starts to feel sick and they take him to the doctor and they were told it was the stomach flu.  It ended up getting worse as their vacation went on.  They had to take him to the hospital and found out his appendix had ruptured.  We later find out that while Colton was in surgery he went to heaven.  As time goes on he shares more and more details of heaven with his family. 

I have heard several people talk a about this book over the past year or so.  I thought I would give it a shot.  I found the story to be very touching.  It was a nice break from the type of books that I would usually read.  It was a very easy book to read, wasn't hard to follow at all.  Because of that, I found it hard to put down and I ended up reading it in one day!

Monday 10-3-11  - I read for 140 minutes.
