back to books

i've taken a break from watching television and started reading again. when i left 'the count of monte cristo' about a month ago, i was about halfway through and monsieur count was just introducing himself to the parisian society. i'm a few chapters back in now and the break renewed my excitement for it. i plan to finish it by the end of the month.

i also am super excited to read the millennium trilogy, which i have just ordered off amazon. i love brand new books. i can't wait for them to get here on thursday. i want to read them all before the movie comes out - which looks fantastic. the movie looks pretty intense, but i'm thinking if i know the story i could handle the movie. we'll see.

speaking of trilogies... i have gotten my whole family hooked on 'the hunger games'.. they're fighting over them now. i love those books. i can't wait for the movie to come out next year.

and along the lines of another trilogy - i already have my ticket for 'breaking dawn' which comes out in a few weeks. can't wait!!!

in other news... isaac is still stable in the NICU and you can read the most recent update on him here. i've still yet to be able to meet him, but hopefully that will happen this week sometime. i was gonna go see him yesterday, but little guy had a lot of doctors visiting him, so it didn't work out. i'll meet him soon though and i'll tell him we were just saving the best for last. ;)
