I finished reading The Secret Garden!!! It was amazing, just as I thought it would be. ^-^ and I really want to see the movie for it now! So I'll be looking for that.
Speaking of gardens, I just got a really pretty plant that I named Blanca (after the lady who gave it to me) and I was tending my blueberry plants the other day too! Maybe I can plant and grow some other things too! My mom is doing square foot gardening and so we have four boxes made of wood in our garden. The plants are doing really well in their boxes! The only trouble is that our chickens like our garden too and I have to chase them out (which is actually really fun! XP)
Hope you people out there in the web of the Internet are reading books that make you smile too!!!

Books update
Hi all! What's up?
So, books I've been reading, am reading, and will be reading:
I just finished reading The Borrowers by Mary Norton. I had really wanted to read that since I watched The Secret World of Arrietty (which I posted about here) so I'm really glad that I finally had the time to read it! Very good book. ^-^
I'm starting The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. One of my favorite books when I was younger was an abridged version of this book. I still have it too and sometimes I read it and look at the artwork, so I figured I should read the real, unabridged version. I have a thing against abridged versions of books anyways- when I read Little Women, my dad had the abridged version and I didn't know what that meant, so I thought I read the whole thing and I hadn't and my friend started talking about the part of the book that had been cut out and I was so lost, so I had to read the whole unabridged version and I kept checking to make sure it was unabridged. It wasn't so fun for me because I didn't like reading back then. But I loved the book. ^-^ Anyways! The Secret Garden! I'm reading it!
After I finish The Secret Garden, I have Emma and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen that I want to read. Well, Pride and Prejudice is a re-read, but it's one of my favorite books and I just got both these books for my birthday last month, so I want to re-read and read these two books.
Yup, that's all for now! depending on how quickly I can read these I may have another books update in about a week or so. ^-^ should be fun, but there are other things to do too. Life is good for living and doing things and you should enjoy it while you can.
See ya!
