Nutz4 Reading's Thoughts....

I just want to let everyone know to keep watching Nutz4reading's Thoughts.  More reviews will be posted this week.  And look for an upcoming giveaway to happen in the future.  I am hoping to start doing some more giveaways and interviews soon. Start following so you are in the know!!

I just wanted to let all my readers know that I am fine and that I had no problems during the hurricane.  I was very lucky to not have lost power or have any major damage to myself, family, house etc. I would like it if everyone would just remember those that did suffer some sort of damage during the hurricane. The east coast was very lucky and the storm turned out to be less threatening than expected.  I did have a tornado watch for our area which frightened me a lot.  I did learn one thing during this hurricane.  Do not look at all the posts on Facebook about the Hurricane.  I was more worried when reading the posts then any other time.

I am sure everyone has heard of the hurricane/tropical storm that is scheduled to hit the eastern states today (Aug. 27, 2011) and continue into late Sunday.  I am in that path and decided to post to let everyone know that I am hoping to get a lot of reading done during this storm. I believe I have myself prepared with new flash lights.  I couldn't find any of the ones I already own.  They just up and walked off I think.  I even put jugs of water in the freezer so that if the power goes off I at least have some cold water to drink and use for other things if needed. The past couple of days have been very interesting.  So many people running out and buying water, food, generators and other things.  We were talking at work about how some people we saw with gallons of water, and milk.  One person had 8 loaves of bread.  I hope she has a huge family otherwise the birds are going to be well fed in her area. I am not trying to take this storm lightly.  I just figure I am not going to

Well the end of Summer is drawing nearer everyday.  I will be going back to normal work hours next week, yeah!!  Which means 8 hours days instead of 10 hour days.  It will take me forever to learn to sleep past 5 am.  I do like to be up early and stay up late.  Now hopefully I will be able to get some reading done before going to bed at night. Now that Summer is winding down in the U.S., at least, do you have plans now that the kids will be going back to school.  Did your children do any summer reading?  Did you have to force them to read?  What did they read? I remember when my children were young taking them to one of the local libraries and checking out books for them to read.  Sometimes they were all gung ho about it and other times they could care less.  The library also had some camps for them to do.  I signed them up one year and they enjoyed themselves.  My son did one for Science.  I can't remember what my daughter decided to do. Now my children are older and I don&#

I want to thank Mr. Artie Van Why for giving me a chance to read his story on the events of September 11, 2001. That Day in September is the first book I have ever read about that fateful day. I do have a fascination about actual events and to have the chance to feel what it was like to be there through the words of someone that was there is one that I will never pass up. That Day In September had me tearing up right from the beginning. I know what I was doing when the attack happened and it touch me then and it touch me again reading this book. Yet to read a first hand experience makes me realize how much different it was for me then for everyone in New York. I cannot even start to say what it was like to be working right next to the World Trade Center and hearing a loud boom. Mr. Van Why writes from the heart as he recounts his steps during the attack on the World Trade Center and the days and months that follow. Most of us may have suffered for a few days but those who live and work
