February Book

Girls since you all know I am not a big reader I have to look to others for guidance on this whole picking a book...

That being said, my niece recommended:
The Giver
By Lois Lowry

I don't know if it will be ok but that is all I got... if you don't want to read it then I will understand. I thought about that book we read in High School about that old man that his wife dies and he marries a younger woman... any remember that one? I remember that I loved the book but can't remember the title so that is why I picked the other one.

I hope all is well with everyone.

January Book

Joan of Arc

by Mark Twain

Mark Twain claims this book to be his best and he spent 12 years researching the life of Joan. I am interested to learn her story. I don't believe this book is like his others in light of his story telling abilities but it received strong reviews overall.

At Least Out Loud I Won't Say I'm in Love

Amy Powell: 6066066
Interview date: June of 1996

Amy, a UVSC student, recently rejoiced in the return of her brother from his mission in Venezuela. Amy is on the institute council and working toward and elementary education degree. She worked at Larsen's Nursing Home as a CNA but is now employed with SOS Temporary Service.

Amy's favorite color is navy blue, favorite movie is While You Were Sleeping, favorite season is spring and favorite shoes are sandals. Amy's perfect man is tall, dark and handsome with a sweet personality. Amy refuses to tell her most humbling experience and her favorite feature are her eyes. Her most irrational acts were flirting with number eight, the quarterback on the football team, chasing him to Vittles and catching a ride home with his dad. A most embarrassing moment was when she got in a car accident and JB picked her up, asked her out for that evening and took her to his home where he had another date waiting for him. She went home at that point and the following day he asked her out again. She told him she was going to the movies with her family, still, he stopped by and found her home. That was when Amy got her first kiss. Three words that best describe Amy are stubborn, stubborn, stubborn (I can think of a few others such as compassionaite, strong, romantic, considerate, loyal...).

Amie Christofferson
Interview date: June of 1996

Amie is attending UVSC and plans on getting her college degree, get married and raise a family. She is employed with Scrooge and Marley's and her favorite color is pink. Her favorite movie is "That Thing You Do," her favorite season is "every single one," she doesn't have a favorite pair of shoes and her hero is her mom.

The best times of her life are "anytime, I live for the moment" and a bad time for Amie was when she tripped in the hall, twice, in ninth grade. Amie had a wonderful time on Heritage Tours and she can't recall her most irrational act. Her most embarrassing moment was when she tripped in the hall, twice, in ninth grade.

If Amie could change one thing about herself, she would be good at sports and she is better than anyone else when it comes to whistling. Three words to describe Amie are darling, kind, and happy. "And there's nothing greater in the whole wide world than a happy girl."

"If you want to be happy - be," Amie Webb.
