I was once a reader. Somehow, life, kids, reality TV and a 40+ hour career got in the way. During one of the rare moments I was able to escape without kids or a to-do list in tow, I ended up at a hair salon. As the stylist and I chatted away about, nothing really, I found myself wishing I had a book on hand. After all, it’s a pre-iphone, yet still socially acceptable way to ignore people.
Moments later, a woman walked in with this book in her hands. The cover caught my eye and I made a mental note to “Amazon” it when I got home-and that I did.
It sat on my table for weeks. You know, that whole “life” thing got in the way again. One evening, with the kids hogging the TV and my spouse hogging the computer, I picked up the book…and didnt put it down.
I fell in love. In love with the characters, the story, the animals, the era, the research, the photos, the tone, the depth and the emotion this book evoked. But best of all…I fell in love with reading again.
During the occasions I was forced to put the book down, I found my mind was still filled with the story, characters and the world of a circus. Not many books have that ability, to remain in your thoughts even when the pages are no where near you.
Life has been good to me, but at times can be stressful and overwhelming. In the same way that a trip to the circus would be a welcomed escape to the world of any child, this book provided me with my own special vacation.
If only for a day…

I purchased this CD set for my class and could not be happier. I couldn’t imagine a library without it especially with so many reading (and time) impaired students, our dyslexic students are helped immeasurably by this audio. It does not hurt that the narrator is wonderfully expressive and truly brings the story to life. I could not recommend these five compact discs enough. Be sure to check your sellers rating before you buy.

I love my Kindle as most people do. I am really happy that I am able to take many books with me where ever I go. I recieved my Kindle for Christmas 2009. I asked for this for Christmas because a new book in a series had come out and it was 2.5 inches thick and heavy. The Kindle made it easy to read at work without the weight.
Can not live without my Kindle. Thanks Amazon.

This pedometer is absolutely super. It is accurate to a fault. Love the clip that keeps it in place and the extra security clip is fantastic. I would recommend this pedometer to anyone who is serious about 10,000 steps a day.
