Friday Reads

Well... did you read something this week?

Did you love it?  Or hate it?  Or not really care if you finished it?

I read Catching Air by Sarah Pekkanen last weekend, and even though I finished it in only a couple days, it wasn't my favorite book of hers.  Don't get me wrong... it's a great book, but her earlier work, especially Skipping a Beat, was exceptional.  If you haven't read that one yet, you MUST.  It's still in my top 10 favorite books of all time.

So, this week I have two things for you to read.

The first one comes to me by way of Marcy, my book guru.  If Marcy says to read something, you read it.  You don't ask questions.  You don't inquire what it's about.

You just buy the book and read it.

And that's what I did.  I bought the book, and will spend a leisurely weekend reading it.

Eleanor & Park, by Rainbow Rowell (yes, that's for real) is the book, and I was told that it would remind you why you love to read.  I can't wait to start it and let you know all about it.

Now, the next thing I want you to read isn't a book but a website.  Not sure how I found this one, but I  started off following it on Instagram and just find myself drawn to her website all the time (it might have something to do with her monthly 30 day challenges).  The Everygirl website has a little bit of everything, and I could spend hours going through all of the articles on there.  

Trust me, you'll love it.

Start by following it on Instagram and you'll see what I mean.  Beautiful pictures every day.

Well, that's it... my #fridayreads list for you.

I hope you're reading something good this week.

Happy Friday!

Instagram

No, I am not a 12 year-old girl.

But I do love Instagram.

I have found it to be more fun that Facebook at times, because it forces you to 'see' the world, your world, differently.  Things you wouldn't think were interesting can look completely different with a change of filter or color, and presto-chango, you're a photographer!

I do realize that I take all together way too many pictures of Goldie, but seriously, her face is too cute, and my life isn't the most exciting on most days.  I'm working on it.  Recently, I have been trying to take at least one picture a day... kinda makes for a really interesting photo journal of sorts.

So do me a favor and join Instagram and follow me.  I'll do the same.

And together we can learn to appreciate the little things in our lives.
