Dinner discussion

The Llagaland is always abuzz with conversation come dinner time. From jokes to trigonometry to Greek mythology or just movie scenes or sometimes TV shows. Yup, we cover all the bases. From nonsense tv shows to noble causes. Hahaha!

Wanna know my fave dinner time though? I love it when we discuss books we've read. The 3 Little Monkeys read tons of books, I can't even keep up. And if you know me- I read a lot.

Tonite, we were discussing the Ember books. The City of Ember, The People of Sparks, The Prophet of Yonwood and The Diamond of Dark Hole is a great series by Jeanne DuPrau. If you ask me, better than Percy Jackson series and Hunger Games-- waaay better than the Twilight series. Not even close. Sorry Twilight fans. It comes second to Harry Potter if I compare it to what they call adolescent series of late. I will tell you later what's my fave series of all time. I can't seem to make up my mind.

Oh, oh... Did I tell you Pherry read the Shopaholic series ( Confessions of a Shopaholic) because he wanted to know what KC and I discuss? Oh sure he did! It's funny to hear a boy's perspective on the subject matter! Now, it's more fun to talk about Becky being crazy and it's fun to laugh together when they see similarities of Rebecca and me and my friends. Oh, fun!

How about you? What is your fave family time? What books do you let your kids read? Do you try to read books so you can relate to your kids? Do tell!
