For Your Weekend
(apology for anyone who has tried to email me in the last 12 hours, my inbox has been cleaned out and is ready to receive email again!)
If you read yesterdays interview over at feeling stitchy you now know that I love to read. I realized though, that I have never shared any of my reading material with you, and I think I should. I recently finished an AMAZING book “These Is My Words” by Nancy Turner. It is a historical fiction account of Sarah Prine’s life in the Arizona Territory during the late 1800′s written as if it were her diary. Sarah is 17 when you meet her and you watch as she matures and grows. She is such a believable and real character in her naivety and her feminine insecurities. The book was on display at my library so I grabbed it, I could not put it down! I mentioned it to my SIL who said she had read many blog posts about what a good book it is. So, there you go; if you have some free time this weekend grab this book and a bowl of fresh popped popcorn and enjoy!
If you are interested I am currently reading: “Shadow Song” by Terry Kay, I’m about a 1/3 of the way through it and it has been an easy book to get into. What are you reading? Do you have any recommendations I should add to my summer reading list?
Just for fun, a picture I took last January at Laguna City Beach in OC. Makes you want to curl up near a window to this and read, doesn’t it?

I recently finished the Uglies series- they were very entertaining. I have intentions of reading more but think that I need to “save” stuff to do after I have the baby- but honestly I think I will be sleeping more than reading then.
After seeing that photo, I want to throw my boys in the car and head to the beach but since I am not allowed to go anywhere by myself, I will have to wait for help.

Go read “Eat Pray Love” again. I say again because I’m assuming you’ve already read it. But it must be read again. I am reading it again. Everyone must read it at least twice.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Excellent book. My absolute favorite. I couldn’t put it down. Right now i’m reading Bookends by Jane Green, she is a great “woman’s fiction” author.
