Numbering the Bones by Anne Rinaldi....a favorite of mine!!

Numbering All the Bones Numbering All the Bones by Ann Rinaldi


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is one of my all time favorite books. Ann Rinaldi writes historical fiction books and this one happens to be about the events that took place at Andersonville. I wanted to read this book because my husband is in the movie. Once I saw the movie, I was inspired to read books about the events that took place there. This is definately a keeper on my bookshelf!

Birthday Bash!


On Monday, my little man turned 5 years old!!!! It's so hard to believe that he's growing up so fast! We get to start kindergarten in August and I'm scared. I still don't know if I want to send him or not. I want him to have friends but I want him to stay sweet and innocent. *SIGH*He is so proud of his new dinosaur!!

Concerns for the Future

While many people are concerned about their future in terms of finances and such, I'm concerned about those who will be the ones to take care of me when I'm older. In the past few days, I've seen such a lackadaisical manner in teenagers that has me greatly concerned. It's as though they have no concern for others or even themselves. They want to sit in front of their computers and play around, or watch TV and waste away the hours. There is absolutely NO motivation to get up and exercise, hunt for volunteer opportunities, or even improve their education. I hope to see a shift back to some responsibilities soon!!

My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a great book that spoke a lot about character. The book is definately better than the movie, imho. I have read this aloud to my children and they enjoy it more than the movie also.
