Good Morning, Campers!

Today we're going to talk about

IMPORTANT TOPICS.

What do I mean by that?

I'm talking about how you teach your children or how you were taught by your parents about the world around, things that are important to them, the sex talk etc.

In the news last night, I read about a dad whose 10 year old daughter had created a bunch of different social media accounts and had been pretending to be older than she is.  Apparently she also has a boyfriend (not sure how old he is), which is against his rules.

Dad's response?

He took a picture of her wearing a shirt saying she was 10 years old and in the fifth grade.  He also had her hair clipped up like a kid, and had her carrying a Sofia the First backpack. Then he posted it all over social media accounts.

While I absolutely support his decision to teach her about the possible dangers of social media for kids, I'm on the fence of his method of teaching/discipline.  But I don't know her, and maybe this would work for them.  Plus I'm sure he was super scared when he found out.

What do you think?  How do you teach your kids about these important topics?  And for those with and without kids, how were you taught as a child?

I know this may bring up possible hot button issues, please be respectful of your fellow campers when responding.

Diving Deep for Fan Fic Treasures

Each week I will brave the treacherous waters of Fan Fiction for buried treasure. Below are the gems I've found this week!

Slim Pickin's in the vast ocean of Fan Fic this week.  I read quite a few, but these are the only two that really jumped out and grabbed my interest.

Please don't forget to Read, Review and Recommend!
Enjoy!

Opprobrium by perpetually
He's going to ruin her just like how she watched everything disintegrate into debris for him. His revenge will be worthwhile until he sees only gentleness in her eyes.

This writer has a hat trick for the month of October in the Fic Dive!  She's rolling out great stories!   This Edward....yikes.  He's hell bent on revenge and Bella is his unsuspecting target. 

My Nightingale by Edward's Eternal
Edward, a photographer without roots, meets Bella, a nurse in the ER after a slight mishap. He is everything she isn't allowed. She is everything he didn't know he needed. Together they make their way, fighting against what threatens to separate them.

The prologue sets up a great "WTF?" moment for Edward.  Edward is immediately enchanted by Bella and they start off on a sweet romance. 
 

FLASH BACK FIC DIVE:
Again, some of these I've re-read recently, some I haven't read in a while, but know that I enjoyed them when I did.  Feel free to fill in some blanks in the comments and add in your thoughts.

Fatty by kitkat681
Edward Cullen can't find something that's very important to him...his wang. But that's what happens when you are 363 pounds. Bella Swan is his only chance to live a real life and find what's missing and so much more. No angst, a tiny bit of drama. Rated M 

Weight issues are something that many women deal with in their lives.  This is an interesting take on Edward dealing with a weight problem.

Readjusted by muggleinlove
Bella is a single mom who was jaded by her ex-husband, Mike. She is struggling to put her life back on track when she meets Edward. Edward is a hot shot corporate lawyer who has sworn off love and kids. What happens when the two meet at a club?

Read this one forever ago.  Bella's little boy is adorable.

The Mirrors by adorablecullens
Teddy's secret and magical childhood is lost when a family heirloom is destroyed, changing his life forever. Now an adult, can Edward open himself back up to magic and love when he meets a beautiful - and hauntingly familiar - woman in real life?

Just read this one for the first time and was blown away!  All human with a magical/fantasy element to it. 

A World Away by wandb
Bella thinks military men are arrogant womanizers. That is, until she meets Edward, a hot and unpredictable Navy SEAL who quickly deploys for six months. Will he change her mind or leave her brokenhearted? Rated M for language and lemons. BxE.

I love all Military-wards.  Love the relationship they build through their e-mails from worlds away.

As always, THANK YOU for your amazing support for this campfire.  I appreciate all of your comments.
 

Come on in to your weekly book campfire and tell us what you are reading this week?

I just finished this book and it was good enough for me to very enthusiastically recommend it on the front page

Halloween is nearly upon us. Let's talk about the scariest books you've ever read.

Or if you're a wimp like me, let's talk best books starring supernatural creatures. 'Tis the season for ghosts and witches, y'all.
