More reading books - Less time on the Interwebs.
I miss reading. I used to read all the time. I love it - I will read just about anything I can get my hands on. Or, as I said, I used to. I seem to spend all of my free time now pouring over wedding and baking blogs and working on wedding-related projects. I love you, Internet Friends, but you're sucking all my time away. My new goal is to read at least one book per month. In an effort to be budget-friendly and green, this also means I will be finding my local library. The Fiance's mother is a librarian - I have no excuse.
First of all, I need to finish the book I am currently stuck on:
I have lots of books sitting on my shelves to get through, like Eat Pray Love and Julie and Julia, but of course I had to get some fresh blood in there to keep me going.
Mmmmmm don't you just love the smell of bookstores? It's my favorite smell ever. What are you reading right now? Any recommendations for a born-again bookworm?
I finally coughed up $6 to buy a paperback copy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I put it on hold on the public library website and found out I was #394 in line!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a librarian too, and love to support the public library, but enough is enough! :-)
I love reading. Always did. I used to walk class to class with my nose in a book. I'd give up my ipod before I gave up books during my commute. And REAL books - none of this Kindle stuff. I go back & forth between heavy stuff and fluff. I just finished "The Kids Are All Right" - Liz Welch (actually it was written by all 4 Welch kids)- it's the true story of their childhood. Devastating.
ReplyDeleteRight now - I'm reading sTORI Telling. Yep. That's right. ;)
I can't get into the Larson books for some reason so let us know how you like them?
I love the smell of bookstores - I just like to go to Barnes and Noble and sit there with a coffee. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteRead "Prep" by curtis sittenfeld. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also like Sarah Dessen.
The Help. Best book I've read this year.
ReplyDeleteEclipse took me forever to read too! It was my least favorite of the whole series.
ReplyDeletePrep is definitely a good suggestion - I read it a few years ago and loved it.
I just finished reading "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay a few weeks ago. I did a review of it on my blog! Really good, but heavy subject matter, so don't read it if you're in the mood for a light, fluffy summer read.
P.S. I love libraries :)
Thanks for the suggestions! I am saving them!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I'm really into reading books about relationships. My relationship with my groom is perfect in my eyes, but I just like to read about them. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, which was a Weddingbee reading club book, is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE bookstores. I don't read as much as I should, but I still do. I read Eat, Pray, Love and it was wonderful. I just finished In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan and now am reading Real Food by Nina Planck.
ReplyDeleteWoo for reading!
I didn't realize Diana Gabaldon had a new book out. I started reading her "Outlander" series years ago and stopped mid-way through the 5th book. Books > Internet :)
