Press to Film

Today I decided to venture out on this tax free weekend to Barnes and Noble.  I had recently won a $100 gift card and just had to spend it today.  ALL three of my kids came with me.  The youngest whom is soon to be 1 year old was all packed in his stroller and the other two were on foot.  We found our way to the kids section in the very back of Barnes and Noble.  My mission was to find a book for my youngest first birthday.  The theme by chance is trains.  The clerk working the kids section suggested "The Little Engine That Could".  I never even thought of that book, but how appropriate is it for a first birthday.  I plan to have the guests at his party to sign the book with a warm wish or prayer.  I love that it is a classic and that I can read it to him for years to come.  But all that has nothing to do with my title "Press to Film"... For myself I purchase "The Giver".  This book will be coming to theaters on August 15th.  I  have always wanted to read a book and then see the movie.  This gives me two weeks to read this book.  I figured that being a mom of three with two going back to school in a couple of weeks why not do it now.  Going to see the movie might be my celebration of the end of summer break.  :D  The book seems to be a good read from the few pages I perused in the middle of B&N.  It's about a community where everything is the same for everyone and no one questions it except one person who finds himself in love with someone other than whom they've predetermined him to marry.  It seems to be a thrilling love story.  I will let you know how quickly or slowly I read the book and my opinion on the read.  For now the youngest has awoken from his nap and my fairy tale moment must end.  Until next time...
