A Widget or a Wedgie

Will was laying next to me while I was getting my new widget built. At one point he said..."Mommy, why does that button say something about a wedgie"!!! It was "customize your widget"...what a kid! Anyway, check out the cool new bookshelf I put at the bottom of my page. These are the books I have enjoyed this year...I will keep adding as I read. Please feel free to post in the comments section about books you enjoy....I am always looking for the next book to add to the pile. Right now the current read is "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents"...it is written by the same author as "In the Time of Butterflies" and is set in the Dominican Republic. AHHHH...what a nice segue....
