Life in Song

"Always look on the bright side of life."

 

"You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have.... the facts of life."

 

Its been a long, long rough week.  (Or a couple weeks... or maybe a month...  Okay, okay, there has been a problem that has been dragging out since the beginning of the year but whatever...)  And it's never until the next thing happens that you realize how easy you really had it.  It is that bittersweet moment that you need the bad to appreciate the good.  But right smack dab in the middle of this horrible, no good, rotten awful week, did this really have to happen?!?

 

 

 

Yep.  This is the capper, the shining moment of the week, the situation that makes me think... 

 

"You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run."

What I'm reading this week

 

This book is quite the change from what I've been reading recently.

 

Instead of an adult non-fiction book, I chose a teen fiction novel. 

 

This young adult trilogy is actually three years old but as a Children's Librarian this set never crossed my path.  It was while watching a movie one day that this most peculiar preview came on that just so happened to be based on a book that caught my attention.  As I have protested many times before, I long to find the time to read the book before watching the movie! Well, I finally decided that the time is now.  I will read the book for this awesome looking movie before heading to the theatre (or more like waiting for it to come out on DVD and borrowing it from the library) and I did just that.  Now off to read books 2 and 3 in case the director decides to ruin the series by combining all three books into one movie.  'Cause you know, movie directors like to do things like that.
