This week's question is....

Letter to Santa: Tell Santa what books you want for Christmas!

Hmmmm considering I have been checking out a lot of books from the library lately and not buying them... it's hard to say. I would like to get the third Hunger Games book on my Kindle. And I would like to get the full Harry Potter series of books, since I only recently started reading them and I really like them a lot. Maybe also a bunch of John Grisham books and all of the Twilight books since I never bought them, but always just borrowed from my sister.

The question of the week is.... (drum roll please....)

Question: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran's Day tell us about your favorite soldier and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.

I don't just have one favorite soldier, I have many. When I was getting ready to graduate High School I had tons of friends who decided to go into the service, in various branches. In particular I would like to mention Danny (my bestest best best friend's husband) who serves in the Air Force, Stephanie (a long time friend) who also serves in the Air Force, Dave who serves in the Air Force, Jeremy who serves in the Army, Shelly who serves in the Army, Josh who served in the Air Force, Gary who serves in the Army, Jason who served in the Marine Corps, and many more whom I cannot think of right now, but whom should not be forgotten or appreciated.
