So in the theme on 2013 (The year of no excuses) I am
brining back my little blog for Together on Tuesday. This week we have chosen “What are you
Reading. This topic is near and dear to
my heart because I am what you would call a bookworm. It has to be from when I was little….my
parents always read to us when we were little and as we grew older we had
“Quite Time” 30 mins before bedtime when we would have to read. I loved this time as a kid and I also loved
going to the library and when I got older going to the bookstore. My favorite thing was when my dad would tell
us yes you can each get a book. I was so
happy in getting a new book and I was one of those kids that could read the
same book over and over again. Now that
I am older I still love reading. It’s
the one thing I have not let me crazy job take over in my life. I read all day at work…emails, evaluations,
awards, regulations the list seems endless so when I come home I love to find a
quite moment and just read for a little bit.
I am one of the crazy people that can read a few books at a time so I
have decided to just tell you what is on my Ipad and tell you why I downloaded
the book. Here goes nothing.
“Lies that Chelsea Handler Told me” by Chelsea’s Family,
Friends and other Victims. Okay I love
Chelsea Handler she just makes me laugh.
So whenever I am in the need of a laugh I gravitate to her books.
“Total Frat Move” by W.R Bolen. So I was in a Sorority in college and pledged
an elite group in Air Force ROTC so when I looked at the charts in ITunes under
humor this just called out to me. I
started reading it last night and its funny that 11 years later I can still
laugh at the crazy things the Greek systems does and how we as young adult
justify it. Last night when I should
have been sleeping I kept saying just one more chapter…that’s how I know I
enjoy the book.
“Hopeless” by Colleen Hoover. This was another chance book I
found on Itunes and I am so glad I did.
It’s a coming of age book about an 18-year-old girl and her finding out
for herself what is real in her life and what is a lie. Took a little bit to get into because I had
no idea where the story line was going but yesterday I turned the music up on
my apple TV and sat and read for over 3 hrs before going for a run and I am
glad I did because the book came full circle.
I will defiantly be looking for more books by this author.
“Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott. By far one of my favorite books of all
time. I can’t even begin to tell you how
many times I have read this book. It is
the epitome of a classic book. Every
time I read it I wish I was a March sister and wonder how different the story
could have ended up. The other thing I
find very interesting every time I read the book my “favorite” sister
changes. I think that is amazing that as
I grow older I relate to a different character.
I might be hitting the road for a few long trips and I am pretty sure
that I will be reading this book again during the long flights.
“Most Talkative” by Andy Cohen. Okay I hate to admit it but I love everything
Bravo TV. I know its crazy and the
reality TV is out of control but I still love it. Also, the nights show Andy’s Clubhouse has to
be one on the best “talk shows” on TV. I
have always heard about the incredible story of how Andy Cohen worked his way
up to the job he has now so I had to read it for myself and it’s a great story…..MAZEL
I could go on forever when it comes to books but I am sure I
would bore just about all my readers except my Daddy. My Daddy and I can talk books for ages…I am
so glad he installed in me the thirst for reading.
