The only thing worse than not reading a book in the last ninety days is not reading a book in the last ninety days and thinking it does not matter. ~Jim Rohn

Tuesday’s Thought For The Day!

Friday Fun Facts!
Rick Riordan (Richard Russell Riordan Jr.)
Born: June 5, 1964
Wrote: Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Heroes of Olympus series, The Kane Chronicles, and Rick worked on The 39 Clues series
Awards: Edgar Award, Hampshire Book Award, Anthony Award, Shamus Award
With two of his books being made into movies, (Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief; Percy Jackson and the Sea of monsters), Rick has gained quite a following of readers. I enjoy these books as much as my teenagers. They are fun to read, you don’t see blood, sex, or gore, and they are still exciting! Well, some blood and gore, but nothing I am concerned about my girls reading.
Quotes: If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.
People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can’t be fixed.
All serious daring starts from within. (I love this one!)

Happy (almost belated) Father’s Day!
Hoping all the Father’s had a most wonderful day, and got lots of books to read! My Dad is an avid reader and I love buying him new books! The easiest people to shop for are book-readers. At least in my opinion!
I hope your day was full of blessings, and surprises, and all of your loved ones!

Another Abraham Lincoln Book I Need to Read! (Oooops)
Boy did I goof. I know that Sarah Bush was Abe’s Step-Mother, and Nancy Hank was his birth mother. Hence, my post below is completely incorrect; although Abe did love his mother very much (and his step-mother) and I think I am going to read this book regardless. It is fairly small so although it smells like old books tend to, it should be a quick read. I apologize for my inaccurate information!
This book is about Mr. Lincoln and the relationship he had with his Step-Mother, whom he grew to love very dearly. He had a difficult time when his Mother passed away.

I had to “borrow” this. Even though I have a Nook, I will never give up my books! Actually, I use it to play crossword puzzles on, and get my magazines, so I can save a few trees.

Abraham Lincoln
I bought this book several years ago off Ebay, along with a smaller book about Abraham Lincoln and his Step-Mother. I really never had any intention of reading either, as I just purchased them to put with all the rest of my Abraham Lincoln things I have collected over the years.
With all the big names that contributed, I think I may indeed end up reading this!
