This is summer.These books swept me off my feet the past few weeks, and I turned the last page of the Twilight saga and couldn't help but want to be a vampire...
I love the crisp smell of new pages, or the lovable wear from the library.
Sucks me in easier than a dirt-devil vacuum. I've waited to read, read, read! My list keeps growing and my precious moments at school are spent desperately trying to balance life and school and not get smothered by assigned reading. The stories - the endless array of stories just begging me to love them!
And, I've had plenty of time because Colorado apparently missed the memo that it's July and was sympathetic to my shivering in Africa so, logically, shivering in Colorado must mean a smoother transition. It's rained buckets all summer and barely risen about 60 degrees. I huddle under blankets shivering while Seattle nearly melts in a puddle with record-breaking heat. I can't help but grumble through chattering teeth as Seattle continues to swelter.
So, time for another story to take me away from iceland and distract me for a while.
Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog :) And if you ever do want a set of cards...just email me and let me know what you're looking for :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I LOVE READING TOO...and I LOVE South Africa! My mom was born and raised there...and I've only been once but it was a wonderful trip. Looks like you had an amazing time there!
So what are you reading next? Need any good ideas?! Here are a few books that I just LOVED reading:
-The Secret Life of Bees
-The Other Boleyn Girl
-Water For Elephants
-The Time Traveler's Wife
-Memoirs of a Geisha (currently reading)
And I've heard that Pillars of the Earth and The Red Tent are fantastic reads as well...I just haven't gotten to them yet. :) And if you're not interested in reading any of these books and/or already have something picked out...HAPPY READING!!!
