I FINISHED THE BOOK!!

I finished reading Shanghai Girls. Definitely a very moving book. Original in all ways. Having sisters myself, I felt the strong bond between the characters of the book. The information of the events before the war are horrendous. It is a sad, and extremely emotive book, but it is worth to read.
In a totally different note, I wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the revolution that has caused Diary of a Wimpy Kid , not only for my own kids but for a lot of children. I went to the Bookstore the day the latest book was released, and it was amazing how mostly of the kids had that yellow book in their hands. No wonder the books have been on The New York Times Best Seller List for lost of weeks. I have read parts of the books when I found out that they are part of the accelerated reader program at the school. Remember what I told you about connecting with the kids? Definitely the author connected with the mind of the children. Now comes the movie of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. The whole 5Th grade class in my child’s school is going. Well what a success! Great for the author Jeff Kinney. You should find some time to read more about the author, it is very interesting.
