archer farms real fruit twists
I am pretty sure these are the tastiest little morsels I have had in a long time! They are from Target's Archer Farms brand. They are these little twists of yumminess. They have tons of flavor and taste more like dried fruit than fruit snacks.
See…look how cute they are!
They are kind of like fruit snacks for adults. They are nice to grab just a couple when you need a small snack. I got the Strawberry/Mango combination.
They also had a Blueberry/Pomegranate combo. And they were equally as delicious!
These come in a seal-able sack. Which is a nice added bonus so you can eat just a few and leave the rest for later!
Enjoy!
the tenth circle
I recently finished this book. I have been borrowing Jodi Picoult books from people as often as I get the chance.
There's something so captivating about her books. I have only read a few, but I know I want to read more. I think that is the sign of a good author.
This one was about a family who has secrets and has some traumatic events occur. There's a little twist at the end, too.
This book had a bunch of drawings throughout the book. The father in the story draws comics and the mother teaches a course about Dante and Hell. The drawings sketch out another (mirroring) story before each chapter portraying the different levels of Hell. I thought it added a very interesting aspect to the book. I have read some criticism of these drawings on various websites, but I thought it was a good twist I hadn't seen in a book before.
Picoult really has a way of writing about topics that may be considered taboo to talk about. I think it's one of the things draws me to them so much. I don't want to say too much about the story. (You can read a synopsis online if you are interested…but it does give a lot away.)
So far, the books I have read by Picoult are easy reading (maybe because I don't want to put them down). If you haven't read anything by her before, I suggest that you do!
