The first time I posted this, my blog was not allowing comments. I couldn’t figure out the problem, so I am re-posting hoping it solves itself. Please leave a comment if you can.

Mardi Gras loot
I had the pleasure of spending time with my sister’s family over the Mardi Gras break. Every time I visit with them, I learn about apps I want to try, music I’d like to listen to, and books I’d like to read. This time I learned about Vine and Feeddler apps from my sister. You can make videos with Vine and Feeddler holds your blog roll. Watching the Grammy Awards with them, I learned about the new band Fun. and decided to download their album. Taylor, my 13 year old niece, recommended Out of my Mind. by Sharon Draper. I bought a copy and have already jumped in.
A rainy Mardi Gras Day hanging out in the Barnes and Noble cafe.
Conversations are often centered around books. Jack turned 8 last week, but he has already become an avid reader. He started reading the Harry Potter series. During the visit, he finished the third in the series. He was left with nothing to read, so a trip to Barnes and Noble was in order. We talked about whether the book was better than the movie. Jack told his dad, “The book is always better than the movie.” So, I asked him if I could interview him for this blog post.
What is your vote? Book or movie?
Lmk if this works before I leave a “real” comment. Still trying to comment from my phone.
This can’t be good for your wrists. I appreciate your persistence. I had to re-post to get the comment button back on. The mysteries of technology!
Jack is one awesome reader! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting today. I am partial to Jack, but I love to talk to him about the books he is reading.
So, so serious, wasn’t he? I bet he loved doing this, Margaret. Tell him I think books are better too, but there are a few movies (from books) I dearly love.
So cute! Big thinking from a little guy! Thanks for sharing what you did on the break-nothing better than a trip to the bookstore!
Enjoyed the interview. Nice to “tag along” on a family day. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Let us know how you like Out of My Mind!
