"Ordinary Heroes"

I had mentioned before that I had gotten a few books from the Library a couple of weeks ago and this was one of them waiting for me to read. 



 I have to say that from my last book feast I had a hard time even wanting to read another book but I did force myself to begin this one.  I really did try, honestly, but I found some of the language in it bothered me and I couldn't concentrate as much as would have liked. Therefore, I only got to the middle of chapter 2 and then skipped to the last 2 chapters in this book.  I'm not too sure what spoiled it for me?  The swearing?  The fact that I think nothing can  compare to the joy I felt as I read the Twilight series?  Or that my eyes are having a hard time focusing (I think I used them too much last week)?  Whatever the reason I didn't get into this book like I thought I would.  Oh well, I got the gist of it and that was ok for me.  The next one I have is a "Gardening in Alberta" by a lady who lives in Magrath AB, I believe. I hope to find some great advice and help as I start to plan out my vegetable garden and flower beds for this year.  

I must admit I'm  still "swooning" a bit but am closer then ever to the reality that awaits me.  Hope every one is having a happy and sunny day like we are.

Eh, not every one can do the WW II books and all they entail (language), I just got really involved in the characters.
Dawn ordered the Twilight series and is having it delivered here. So I will dive in to it some time this week.
No sleep week, here we come!
