Ever been enthralled with a good book? I’m smak dab in the middle of InkDeath, the third book in the Inkheart series. I started reading these books by Cornelia Funke because Brandon wanted to read them, and from the reviews I read, they were for older children. Well InkHeart was ok for him to read, so I read InkSpell and that was a bit graphic so we walked through some of the more physical parts together and talked about them. Oh, don’t get me wrong, they are not even as graphic as the Star Wars movies, but I still like to pre read things Brandon is interested in so that when he has questions about things we can talk about them parent to child. Call me overprotective! I fully embrace that title!
Well as I was saying, this was one of those pre-read books again and I’m finding myself really enjoying this one! I can’t seem to put it down! Who can think of reality when there is a bookbinder, his wife and his daughter that have all been pulled into their favorite story, forced to live out lives of poverty and mystery while they try and figure out how to be read back into their own story!
...The laundry is piling up, the dog smells, well, like a DOG, and the dry cleaners are probably wondering if I will EVER come back to claim Michael’s shirts!
Ahhh, the joys of a good book. When the weather gets cold, I grab a quilted throw, a hot cup of spiced tea, a pair of fuzzy slippers, and just curl up with a good book!
Happy Reading!

I am with you Michelle! I pre-read all of Michael's books. It is a nice way to know what he is reading as well as if it is ok that he does read it. I do miss my kind of books a bit, but I catch up on that on weekends:)
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one!
Ok, guys and gals, things are heating up near the middle of the book and a strange perception of 'death' enters the picture. The way they portray this particular concept is 'real' instead of fantasy. If your tween's want to read this story, your going to have to sit them down and explain a bit on fantasy vs reality and how this concept of death in the book is fantasy and in fact NOT reality. They personify death in the book and it becomes a physical being. A subject most parents don't breach with their kids till the teen years. So fair warning. Good book, but a very askew perception of the afterlife.
