Time for an update

I'm still slowly working my way through Jacob Have I Loved. I do like it so far, but the main character is a little whiny so far for my taste.

The article that Flusi posted on the newbery site about a controversial word in The Higher Power of Lucky is amazing. The book has created quite a stir among parents but this article by the author of the book is just a great inspirational read. I don't even know what the stir is about...i mean, every single one i've read, besides Sarah Plain and Tall uses some form of curse words and I wonder what makes the use of this word worse than the others. Beats me, but I can't wait to read it after checking out the article!
