Summer lovin happened so fast........

Well, my summer is coming to an end...and NO, I'm not a teacher. I say that because I have the patience of a mule, and teacher, I am not made to be.....that takes a special heart! But I have conveniently been on "summer break" with my bed rest and maternity leave. When I go back to work, I will have been out 11 days shy of 4 months. I cannot tell you how blessed I am to have an employer who hires me in February, I go out the end of April, and don't come back until mid August. I feel so blessed to have them and that has helped make my maternity leave stress free (as much as around the clock feedings, a screaming baby, keeping up the house, and trying to lose baby weight can be stress free). Since I've been out of work, I vowed to bump up my reading since I really didn't have an excuse at that point.....here is the list of books that sums up my vacation induldgences.....
Something Borrowed (aggh!! one of the best books I've ever read)
Something Blue (almost as good)
Love the One You're With
Baby Proof (almost done, slowly tredging through this one)
**Yes, you see a pattern here, all of these are by the same author, Emily Griffin**
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah (RUN and get this book, it's AMAZING)
7th Heaven
6th Target
Sail
**all by James Patterson, one of the greatest mystery writers**
I am about to reread Sullivan's Island so that I can start on Return to Sullivan's Island both y Dorothea Benton Frank
I vow to not let my return to work slow my book worminess!!!!!

  1. Love the new blog look, and the pictures from the beach are great!

    And I've read almost all of those books....love, love, love Emily Giffin!

    I'm reading Jennifer Weiner's new one, Best Friends Forever, right now and it's pretty good, but probably not her best.

    Have a great weekend!
