So my stack of books “to read” is getting larger instead of smaller. That’s not supposed to be the case. I started with a small stack, and then came Allume and the wonderful swag bag full of amazing books. And then Christmas and after Christmas sales and then several people had wonderful new books released– and I snatched them up. And then I realized… I have a problem. I like to buy books. I like to start reading them. I have a hard time finding time to actually sit and read. But, I’m turning over a new leaf. This year. I’m finishing books. And so far, I’m doing pretty well! All of these books I’m either reading or wanting to read are so amazing and I cannot wait to dive into them– it just requires more self-discipline and planning on my part. So here’s to FINISHING books in 2014!
And to celebrate my newfound fervor for getting up/ going to bed early enough to do some actual reading–
We’re going to do a book giveaway of one of my favorite books!!!
If you are a mom or have a mom– you will love this book. Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn is a heartwarming and hilarious look at motherhood. this book would make an excellent gift for a first time mom– or even a great Mother’s Day gift for your own Mum! The author Melanie Shankle is the author of the Big Mama Blog and she is so stinkin’ funny. AND, Melanie’s 2nd book, The Antelope in the Living Room: The Real Story of Two People Sharing One Life

I like to read in bed snuggled under the warm blanket!
And I follow your blog. And on Sunday I almost called you from the bookstore for a book recommendation. I left frustrated and empty handed. 🙁
Oh no! Did you eventually remember what you wanted?
My favorite place ever used to be on the stairs. Just something about sitting in the middle of the staircase made me happy! (Drove my parents mad!!) Now, however, I’ll take any place quiet enough to ignore everything else in life 😉
I definitely follow your blog!
I love reading on the couch or in the car on long car rides. 🙂
I’ve been wanting to read this book! I’m kind of embarrassed I didn’t know who she was until Allume. I love to read in our favorite comfy chair that matches nothing else in our house, but it’s SO comfy, with a cup of warm tea.
I’m going to try again. I’m sorry if I commented twice! I like to read in the cozy, comfy chair that matches nothing else in our house, with a warm cup of tea. And of course, I also follow your blog.
I like reading on the couch when it’s nice and quiet. 🙂
And I just clicked to follow your blog!
