Everything I Need to Know I Learned From A Little Golden Book by Diane Muldrow

I got this book on my Kindle from the Library. I expected a lot more from it. It had less words then an actual Little Golden Book. I was glad it was a book a borrowed and not a book I bought!

Labor Day by Joyce Maynard

SUMMARY: With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend looming in the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, thirteen-year-old Henry—lonely, friendless, not too good at sports—spends most of his time watching television, reading, and daydreaming about the soft skin and budding bodies of his female classmates. For company Henry has his long-divorced mother, Adele—a onetime dancer whose summer project was to teach him how to foxtrot; his hamster, Joe; and awkward Saturday-night outings to Friendly's with his estranged father and new step family. As much as he tries, Henry knows that even with his jokes and his "Husband for a Day" coupon, he still can't make his emotionally fragile mother happy. Adele has a secret that makes it hard for her to leave their house, and seems to possess an irreparably broken heart. But all that changes on the Thursday before Labor Day, when a mysterious bleeding man named Frank approaches Henry and asks for a hand. Over the next five days, Henry will learn some of life's most valuable lessons: how to throw a baseball, the secret to perfect pie crust, the breathless pain of jealousy, the power of betrayal, and the importance of putting others—especially those we love—above ourselves. And the knowledge that real love is worth waiting for.

I picked this book up at the library because it looked interesting and it was being made into a movie. I was not that impressed with this book at all. I didn't understand the love story or the attraction between the characters. I was glad I borrowed this book and didn't purchase it.

Can't decide if I like this version or not...

Emptied my piggy bank!

I finally decided to empty my big blue bottle where I put all my coins.  It filled a gallon bag and weighted in at 30.4 lbs! My plan is to take it to the Coinstar, because the thought of rolling these seems daunting. I saw on Clark Howard if you get a gift card, you don't get charged a fee. So I'm going to try it out.
