Weekend Fun..

Finally, it's almost the weekend! We have some fun plans, looks like we are going camping.  I haven't been camping since I was a kid, so it should be interesting.  It will be nice to relax and unplug even if it is just for a few days. I will try to post later a chicken recipe I made this week that was pretty amazing.

Summer Reading

So it's no secret to anyone that knows me.  But I love to read. Not only do I work full time, but am pursuing my love of books and all things reading and studying for a Masters of Library Science degree.  Of course, work and school seriously cuts into reading time..lol, but I squeeze it in when I can. I typically finish a book every couple of weeks, so this blog would be a great place to share my thoughts on my latest reads.  I'm also a library thing member so if you want to catch up on the complete list, you can find it here.


I just finished, The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok.  It was a fascinating account on growing up and living with a schizophrenic mother.  I love memoirs, especially ones involving family relationships and this was a great book. I think my next couple of books may be some lighter reads, considering it's summer and most of my reading will be poolside...


My plan is to catch up on some Kristin Hannah novels.  Chick Lit is my guilty pleasure.  I read Firefly Lane for one of book clubs and was surprised by how addictive it got at the end, I couldn't put it down! I recently read Night Road and the same thing happened, it was one of those "just one more chapter, leads to finishing the book hours later" type of reads. I just picked up True Colors from the library. Stay tuned for my thoughts on that. The other thing I'm loving about Kristin Hannah, I've sobbed my eyes out after finishing those books. Nothing like a good cry every once in awhile.

Welcome...

Hello all. Thanks for stopping by.  I'm not sure what or where this blog will take me, but I hope you enjoy.  I'll be posting about everything I love, including cupcakes and flip flops. I hope to share some insights on my life and  interests and hopefully you will be interested too. :)
