Writing Assignment: Mommywood

It's Mama Kat time again!

When I saw her prompts this week, I just knew which one I wanted to do.

5.) Book review time! What winter read has you snuggled in and turning pages?

Not that I have actually read a book from start to finish in less than a week, or a month or even a year for that matter. Nope. Not me!

You see, I was actually given my sTori Telling book (by none other than Tori Spelling) over a year ago. Mother's Day '08 to be exact. I started reading the book, a chapter every week or more. You see, I don't have time to read. I am a very busy gal. You'll rarely see me sitting.....unless of course I'm on the computer ;O)

Anyways, I had been reading my book last year and it got to a point that I was getting close to the end. Not sure how many chapters but the fact that I was more than half way through the book made me nervous. So you know what I did?

I stopped reading it!!

Until a year later on my birthday (this year) when I received my new book by Tori Spelling, Mommywood. But I didn't start reading it again then. It was only until a month ago or so when I ran out of work to do at work. So I picked up my book and finally finished it.

I knew I could finish that book now because I had a backup. I have now started reading Tori's new book and it is so good.

You see, I feel I can relate to Miss Tori too. She's a mom, I'm a mom. She cooks dinners, I cook dinner. She loves to be with her babies and I love to be with my baby. She stresses about all the things mommy's stress about when it comes to her child(ren) as I do. She is so normal to me!

As I thumb through each page, it's so hard to put it down. I just look forward to the next chapter but that's wherein the problem lies. She doesn't have a backup book for me yet. What will I ever do if I come to the end of this book and there is no backup book?

So, guess what I have done?

I've stopped reading it again!

BUT....

Let's look on the bright side. I decided to read the Acknowledgments (yes, before I even finished the book. See, getting nervous the end is near) and she says, and I quote "Hilary Liftin...Once again you captured my voice to a tee. You make my book me. And we have fun doing it! Thank you. And ohhh, (this is the part...*giggle*!!!) the stories I already have for our next book!"

Oh yah!! Another book. Well, Miss Tori...you better get on the ball cause I'm half way through this book!
