Some Good Reads

Today has been a quiet and peaceful rainy day, which makes it the perfect

day to snuggle under a blanket and read a good book, all while sipping

a hot cup of tea! :)  

There are a couple of books that I wanted to share with all of you that I think

many of you would really enjoy!

1.  The One and Only: Emily Giffin

This is the story of a middle-aged woman named Shea from a small Texas town

that is so set in her ways of what she finds to be "normal" and routine in her life.  She

is kind of afraid to try something new because of the risk of not knowing what it will be like.

She soon learns though that things are not always as the appear to be, even when you have been in the same routine for your whole life.  

I have to say, this was not my favorite book by Giffin, but I still did enjoy it and would

encourage you to try it!! 

2.  Keep Calm and Carry a Big Drink: Kim Gruenenfelder

This is what I am currently reading right now, but I wanted to share this 

with you because right now I am totally loving it! 

Mel is a young single lady, who lives with one of her best friends as she tries

to make ends meet as a math teacher (especially when her job is on the line due to budget cuts).

I am not that far into it and don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but I am really liking it so far!!

Summer is starting to slip away from us and I hope to squeeze in a few more books

before school starts up again!!  

What are you reading this summer?!  I would love to hear!! :)

Great Reads

One of my favorite things to do in life (besides shoe shopping and eating bacon)

is to read.  I have had so much time now that my summer class is over to catch

up on some books that were collecting dust on my shelf!

Over that course of time, I have read several books that I am highly recommending!

Thinking about making a page that has a list of books that I have read and

what I am currently reading.  What do you think?

This is about two people who are brought together after a tragic accident.

I don't want to say so much because it is so good!!  Giffin

is a terrific author who is clever and genuine.

A business woman with her own clothing store, she is a bit on the curvy size 

compared to the average woman.  After an abusive relationship, she is through 

with boys.  But there is a certain hottie that can't keep his eyes off of her!  

So, do they get together?  Find out!

Jamison is a hilarious author who keeps you flipping the pages!

Gemma is a middle-aged woman living in NYC and cooks for people.  

As you can tell from the cover, when in doubt, she clearly states how 

important the butter is.  A funny read that details her adventures of love, life 

and friendship.  

I am going to leave you with this for now.  More books suggestions to come!

And a few more links just for fun!

How adorable is this baby?!?!  

I love painting during my free time and this tutorial looks like something fun to try!

Need a new backpack for school?  Check out these Vera Bradley backpacks!

Seriously love her stuff.  Fantastic quality and so cute!  

These earrings from Kate Spade are gorgeous!

Sigh.  Wish I could afford them!

But more importantly, I want that baby! ;)

Hope you have a great night!
