I WENT TO DISNEY WORLD!!!

My daughter and I went to Florida last week and had a FABULOUS time! We went to all four parks and to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.  I was keeping track of how many steps I walked and in those four days I walked over 90,000 steps and walked 39 miles!  I can’t wait to go back when Star Wars land opens in 2019.

 

I was able to get some reading done before I left and on the plane ride to Florida.  I read all the Halloween/Spooky/Creepy type books on my list.

Saturday Situation is put on by Pure Imagination. It is were we review our latest reads. Be sure to check out theirs as well.

I started reading the 7th Outlander book a while back when I had a lot of down time at work.  I wouldn’t say this was my favorite Outlander book but I will say I loved the two different story lines.  One takes place in 1778 and one in 1980.  Also, like most of the Outlander books, it ends with a great cliff hanger.  I have been enjoying the third season of the Outlander tv show on Starz.  Anyone else out there an Outlander fan?

Stacking the Shelves is put on by Tynga at Tynga’s Reviews. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves. Here are the books I have added to my TBR list this week.

I checked this book out at my local library.

Book Blurb

Like its ambitious companion novel, Replica, this far-reaching novel by powerhouse bestselling author Lauren Oliver digs deep into questions of how to be a human being in a world where humanity cannot be taken for granted.

I received this book from Netgalley.

Book Blurb

Based on the experience of real-life Auschwitz prisoner Dita Kraus, this is the incredible story of a girl who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the Holocaust.
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious volumes the prisoners have managed to sneak past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the librarian of Auschwitz.

Out of one of the darkest chapters of human history comes this extraordinary story of courage and hope.
