Mine and Jeff's newest obsession is the library, seriously. The Central Arkansas Library System is amazingly organized and the hold/delivery system on the website is a beast, for real. It's really like a book nerd's version of Christmas; you find the book you want, put it on hold, and they deliver it to the library of your choosing. My bank account and my back thank me (One time I moved 25 plastic totes of books, honestly, 25).
I have been meaning to get a replacement card since taking my 5th graders in the spring, but finally went a few weeks ago. After I talked Jeff's ear off about them delivering the
I think Jeff has a copy of every single John Grisham book on his nightstand. I have a copy of 11/22/63, which will be my first ever Stephen King book to read and, as a polar opposite, The Little Lady Agency. I am typically a nonfiction gal, but during the summer I love to read fiction! I have already read and returned The Apple Orchard, which I loved!
I'm on the hold list for Sparkly Green Earrings, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet, Kisses from Katie and Start.
What are you reading? What else should I put on my list?
Aren't libraries great? I recommend Where Did You Go Bernadette, and as always, anything by Jen Lancaster. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely addicted; I still have never read any Jen Lancaster and need to! I'll check the other out as well. Here's to my growing hold list!
DeleteHey Ellen, this is Betsy! I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of reading suggestions for you:
1) The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin. I just started it yesterday, and her witty stories have me hooked! The premise for the book is wonderful to.
2) Cold Tangerines, by Shauna Niequest. One of my favorites! It's a collection of short essays about celebrating everyday life. Very inspiring!
3) The Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine Rivers. It starts with "A Voice in the Wind" and I couldn't put it down!
If you're ever looking for other suggestions, my friend reviews books every month on her blog: http://anniesbutterworth.blogspot.com/. I go there to look for new reads myself!
Happy reading :)

Oh, thanks for the book suggestions! I'll add those to my list; the only Francine Rivers book I have read is Redeeming Love, but I hear most of hers are fantastic. I think I saw part of that trilogy at the library closest to my house, but I couldn't figure out which book was first. Hope you guys are settling in well!
