Mid Monday Inspiration

"I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people "participate."

— Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

Nerd Status: Up 10 Points

I spent a good part of my Sunday scouring Books a Million for a few books I could take along to Boca - cause lets face it, one of the best parts of beaching it up is getting lost in a really good book. My problem is that I only found one book that really caught my eye, The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff ... and cover drew me in so much that I read the back four times on the way home. Then I let myself read the first chapter when I got home - but only the first chapter I promised. Well, if you know anything about me, know this - I don't really "do" patience nor do I "do" self-restraint. The first chapter turned into me reading all 500+ pages in one sitting.

I'm Boca-bound in 3 days and book-less...

So please, dear lusty ones....

(That's your new name, I've decided... Try it on. Feels nice, doesn't it?)

Tell me you've got some great summer reads to recommend???

Please no Nicholas Sparks-y type cryfests though,... I enjoy having my SPF 70 not dribble down my face in a tidal wave of tears and snot.

Sunday Reading

I've holed myself up on the couch, under my warmest fuzzy blanket, and settled into Chris Rose's 1 Dead in Attic . I find myself getting goosebumps with every turn of the page, and making mental notes of every line that I wish I could pass on to you...

But for now, the dedication page says it all...
