Overview Of Contents:
Josh Groban’s Awake
Il Divo’s Siempre
José Cura
The Saint by Ted Dekker
Latin Quips At Your Finger Tips
Practically Useless Information – Weddings
First, I’ll start out with the music that I got first! Josh Groban’s cd Awake was released back in November. The cd is AWESOME! I got the special edition with 15 tracks. He’s got about 9 songs in English this time. With multiple songs using falsetto jumps. He uses a much bigger range, and variety of tones that I haven’t heard in his previous cds. *****
Il Divo’s Siempre was also released in November. This 11 track cd has 1 songs in English, the rest in Italian and Spanish. They cover the classics, Nights In White Satin, Without You, Music, and Somewhere, as well of many I hadn’t heard of before. They have a couple of really fun up-beat songs on this album, with a more Latin feel to them. They, of course, blend beautifully, and have incredible solos as well. *****
Third cd I got for Christmas was José Cura Artist Portrait. José Cura is an Argentinean born Tenor. Classically trained, he has a beautiful big voice. This cd is full of Tenor Arias and well known tenor highlights from well known operas. His Nessun Dorma is gorgeous, and his voice really reminds me of Luciano Pavorotti. *****
Books I’ve read!
The Saint by Ted Dekker is an exciting thriller with lots of twists! You never really know what’s going to happen next, or what’s real. The main character is a specially trained sniper, at least he thinks so. He has some memory loss, or holes. I can’t really tell you more or I’d ruin the book!
Latin Quips At Your Finger Tips is a fun book full of phrases in Latin. The quotes are each attributed to famous Romans. ‘Bibamus Moriendum Est’ ‘Death is inevitable, let’s have a drink!’ and ‘Fortis fortuna adiuvat’ ‘Fortune favors the brave’ are only a few of the priceless gems.
I’m a sucker for Useless Information books! This one is all about weddings. It has suggestions for weddings, traditions, meanings behind colors, flowers, stones, and oh soooo much more! A few silly actual laws to whet your appetite – It is illegal in Hartford, Connecticut for a man to kiss his wife on Sunday. If you introduce someone as your spouse in Texas 3 times, you are legally married. If you sign a hotel register in North Carolina as husband and wife, you are legally married. It is against the law to get married on an ice skating rink in Portland, Oregon.

I got Saint for my Birthday in November. It was really good, but my Mom wouldn't let my bro read it........hm, I don't wonder why.....Anyway, yeah, it was really good!
Good post....I like.
The Special Edition was the one with the bonus DVD. Yeah, it was twice as expensive, but it had extra songs! One called Awake is beautiful!
*correction* the Il Divo Siempre is a 10 track cd. Unless you buy it at Target, then it's 12 track.
