Reblogged from : Good Morning! I had an amazing day yesterday :) We started our day at Findlay market. Findlay was actually somewhat of a disappointment I think its because it was a week day and still early in the season. None of the local vendors were there but the ones who are always inside were … Continue reading »
Gone Girl.
I was involved in a book club at my old church; however, they meet on Sunday nights (which makes it difficult for me to attend; we typically have family dinner with my parents and sister on Sunday nights.) While I really enjoy and miss the women in that club, I also love being active and involved in … Continue reading »
Girls In White Dresses.
Author: Jennifer Close Finished: October 16th, 2012 My Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars I can’t say that I disliked this book because it was definitely entertaining (and a quick read); however, it didn’t have much of a point to it. A bunch of girls envious of their friends relationships? The pitfalls of dating? The awkwardness … Continue reading »
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?
Author: Mindy Kaling Finished: September 21st, 2012 My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars When I first picked up Kaling’s book I didn’t know much about her (other than that she stars on The Office.) I’ve read a couple of comical memoirs/novels over the past couple of months and really enjoyed them so I figured I’d enjoy this … Continue reading »
The Descendants.
Author: Kaui Hart Hemmings Finished: June 21st, 2012 My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed The Descendants. Kaui Hart Hemmings is a brillant author who evokes a range of emotions throughout her heartbreaking story. I was captivated within the first few pages. The characters are well developed; it’s like listening to a good … Continue reading »
Promises to Keep.
Author: Jane Green Finished: July 10th, 2012 My Rating: 2 out of 5 stars I went back and forth between two and three stars. In my opinion, Green wrote a well thought out and emotional story. The writing was well done but not the best. I enjoy reading Green’s stories because they are easy to get … Continue reading »
From the Page to the Screen.
“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one…just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” – Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby Can I just say that I am so excited to see The Great Gatsby? One of my favorite novels has, once again, been turned into a new … Continue reading »
Heart of the Matter
Author: Emily Giffin Finished: July 2nd, 2012 My Rating: 2 out of 5 stars Before my review, I have to say that I’m sorry for being M.I.A. over the last six months. Life really has been a whirlwind as of lately but, dare I say, I think it is finally slowing down. With graduation, the … Continue reading »
Yes, My Darling Daughter
Author: Margaret Leroy Finished: January 8th, 2011 My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars I will say that I really enjoyed this book. I never would’ve picked it up had it not have been for my book club (as my friend Erin mentions in her blog: book club = awesome.) It really does set you up with books … Continue reading »
Embroideries
Author: Marjane Satrapi Finished: December 17th, 2011 Rating: 2 out of 5 stars I jumped on the Marjane Satrapi bandwagon after reading her popular graphic novel, Persepolis. I absolutely loved Persepolis and assumed I’d love anything else that Satrapi wrote. Over Christmas break, I decided to rent another graphic novel by Satrapi - Embroideries. I hate … Continue reading »

Book Club Meeting: December 11th (’11)
Yesterday was a wonderful, lazy Sunday consisting of reading all afternoon and then book club in the evening. I was so excited to get back to book club after having missed the last 3-4 months due to the busy wedding planning (now that the wedding has passed and fall quarter is over, I can get … Continue reading »
it’s been awhile…
Wow – I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve posted on here. I definitely have been behind on my reading but I didn’t realize how behind. I really enjoy going to school and am honestly going to miss many aspects of college once I graduate in the Spring; however, the thing that … Continue reading »
Top Ten (Well, Seven) Tuesday: Fictional Crushes
Diane’s “Top Ten (Well, Seven) Fictional Crushes” In no particular order (as always). Note: I couldn’t think of ten crushes, therefore there are only seven. 1) Michael from Redeeming Love (Francine Rivers): Reading this book was easy (and it’s a huge book – so easy wouldn’t be the first word that comes to mind). It … Continue reading »

This Is A Book
Author: Demetri Martin Finished: August 30th, 2011 My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars One of the most hysterical books I have ever read (if not the most hysterical). I laughed out loud more times than I can count. I had honestly never heard of Demetri Martin until I saw this book sitting in a pile … Continue reading »
Animal Farm
Author: George Orwell Finished: August 23rd, 2011 My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars I’d been wanting to pick up Animal Farm for a while now and yet, another book would always prove to be more worthwhile. Well, as I walked past my bookshelf last week, I finally decided to pick up this Orwell classic. It’s a … Continue reading »
Neglected
Well, it has been over a month since my last post. I’m sorry for the neglect but there are legitimate reasons (really)! One being: my fiance proposed on July 16th. It was unexpected and with a wedding date of October 22nd; wedding planning has been top priority ever since. Two: I’ve had classes and haven’t been reading as … Continue reading »
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close…the Movie??
Being that this novel is one of my all time favorite books, I was a bit saddened to see that it was being made into a film (a film starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock no less). I feel that in most instances, the movie is never as good as the book (Exceptions to this … Continue reading »
