The Condie Times: computer nerd

we got a new laptop and were outside cleaning the garage. Shaun came in to find Carter like this. good thing we got the protection plan

2011 Books

The Uglies- Scott Westerfeld. I was very hesitant to read because it seemed weird. its about a society that at 16 makes everyone "pretty" kinda like Hunger games and Enders game. Its from the prospective of a 15 yr old who wants to be pretty but then changes her mind when she meets people from "the Smoke"
Christmas Jars- Jason F. Wright. Great christmas story about giving and hope. I bought the Kid version for the kids and we have started our own jar.
Dexter in The Dark- Jeff Lindsay. book 3. it wasnt as quick as the other 2. I like the story line and dexters voice, but when IT talks i dont like the writing. But I do like Dexter and his sense of humor. Still bad language though.
Dearly Devoted Dexter- Jeff Lindsay. Same story different murder. just as good as read
Darkly Dreaming Dexter- Jeff Lindsay. About a cop who kills criminals that can't get caught. It was a good muder book, had some bad language. It wasnt to graffic so that was good. I liked it
Moloka'i-Alan Brennert true story of the leprosy island. It was a good book, kinda sad but overall happy and informative
The Corner of Bitter and Sweet- Henry Lee Ford . Historical fiction baswed around WWII when the japanese were put in camps. About a Chinese boy and a Japanese girl.
The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Pie Society-Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows Historical fiction about gurnsey. Kinda boring, easy to put down, but it was still a good read.
The Good Wife Strikes Back- Elizabeth Buchan. Ficton. about a 40-50 something wife who tries to decided "why" she is sticking in her marriage. It was funny and a light easy read
Little White Lies- Gemma Townley. A girl moves out to London to change things up. Mail for the previosu tenant is delivered and she opens it up and takes on the life she imagines this previosu tenant would have had. Funny, british author. light read, easy and quick. mindless but kept my attention
