Book List: #1-5

Here are the first 5 items on what I hope grows to be a giant of a book list throughout the next few months. These are in no particular order. All 5 are incredible stories!

1. The Lovely Bones

Apparently I was really missing out by forgetting to grab a copy of this for so long. 

2. The Host

So good. Definitely not what you expect from the author of Twilight. I loved the series but this is actually a much more interesting story and it's catches your attention for sure.

3. The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Touching. It shows so many sides of people, how our choices in one moment continually effect our lives and the lives of others forever.

4. Sarah's Key

Historical Fiction. I wanted this story to be real. Amazing how events from years and years apart connect and intertwine the lives of so many people.

5. The Vow

Kim Carpenter opens up about the accident that changes his life forever when he and his new wife are in an accident, leaving her with no memory of their short marriage. Definitely opens your eyes to the powers of true love and prayer, as they push forward and fall in love all over again.

{Niece Moments} #1- Finley

This morning Little Foo and I went to the park to play before it became too hot outside to stand it. We were already out and about to drop Big Girl off at acting camp and a 9 a.m. trip to the playground just felt right.
At the park, we played on the play ground and then walked around on the track and over a little bridge. Foo-Foo found a tiny ADORABLE bunny rabbit eating breakfast and we watch it for ever! So precious! We decided to name it and Finley insisted that HIS name be Sarah. Why? I have no idea.

I'm a total NookWorm now.

Okay, so of course one of my first posts has to be about my nook. I am completely in love with this tiny device that has given me a chance to actually knock out most of my summer reading list in the past month. It will go down as the best birthday gift ever. I'm not sure how I even talked K into getting it for me. I was still shocked when I opened the box as soon as we got in the car. Seriously though, I have read so much these past few weeks and I love it! I've always loved a good read and try to get my hands on a good book anytime I have some free time. And this nook has made it that much easier. (Below is the moment I opened the box that held my precious nook baby!)

Excitement!

I hope to turn this little blog into everything I want it to be. If nothing else, it will give me something to mess around with and a place to rant and ramble and post ridiculous pictures of my semi-boring life on.
