So boring, The Book Thief. Does it get better?
Comments (18)Reminds me of "Heidi" -- another book for children -- only set in a time of war, with Death as a larger character. The movie got some reviews that noted predictable, simplistic characters, especially the kindly father figure. You can actually find this book in the 'young adult' section of the library. I read and watched "Sarah's Key". Not my favorite in either version. Now I am stumped trying to remember the title of a book I read only a few months ago, also with a WWII setting. One character is a girl sent away from Berlin to live with her great-uncle towards the end of WWII. She isn't the main character, but her story has a realistic portrayal of the end of the war and Germans surviving guilt and deprivation. Anybody know the title? (Central character is a Londoner, raised by *his* uncle to be a cat burglar -- participates in the black market as a soldier in Berlin -- is recruited years later to get a woman out of East Berlin via a tunnel.)...See MoreWhat to do when you can't find the same floor tile?

Comments (17)The only place I can cook is home, and I never get bored at home because it's the only place I can do whatever wish. I get bored waiting for the bus but I can"t cook at the bus stop. If I get dejected at home and need to pick myself up I do something that would deject me anyway. The logic is that if I,m already in a bad mood I might as well do unpleasant tasks like sorting and filing documents or cleaning, which is necessary but boring. Sort of fight fire with fire. It works for me. Once I,m through with whatever burdensome task I feel better. I,d never cook when in a bad mood. Cooking is fun....See MoreOT wondering what you all do when you can't get out in the gardens.
Comments (39)They are indeed Hedgehogs, Signet. DIL chose the pattern...reason little one was all scrunched up in her ultrasounds every time...so they called her "Hedgie". Each of those squares was 30 individual pieces, so it was a bit of pressure to get it done in the two weeks before her shower. The book quilt was to honor my daughter's graduation with a BSN. She has been an RN for 10 years, and she is currently working full time and in school to become a nurse practitioner. I actually enjoyed designing that bookshelf quilt and kind of hated finishing it.. There is one column of blocks that doesn't show in this photo, and other details like a coffee cup with her name and a book showing collectible shoes since she collected the glass miniatures at one time. this kind of quilt should become a heirloom. I did the clock twice because the first time it didn't look right and spent a day doing the stethoscope block. Fun though...Mantis, DIL likes pink s and purples for the girls thus the colors. Glad y'all liked them. kay...See Moreplllog
