Books.....

2010-01-07T12:13:00.002-05:00

So, I finished Simple Wishes by Lisa Dale. It was a good book, not a quick read but then again I tried to read it over the holidays and with all the hoopla with that there wasn't much reading time. I have now begun to read The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I'll let you know how this one goes.

Simple Wishes

The book I'm currently reading is Simple Wishes by Lisa Dale. It's a VERY well written book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes romance books. I have also read It Happened One Night by Lisa as well. GREAT BOOK!! I wish I had read it during the winter months because I felt like I was actually there playing out the scenes in the book.

Book I'm reading...

So, the Twilight series (mind you I still haven't read all of them) got me into reading Vampire books. Right now, I'm reading Evermore by Alyson Noel. So far, it's really good and definitely a recommended read!

I went and saw New Moon so I will pick up Eclipse sometime next year.

The last book I read was It Happened One Night by Lisa Dale. This is a great book for a snowy, winter day.

Trip to Kentucky with Mom

2009-10-20T14:55:00.002-05:00

So, my Mom and I recently took a trip to Kentucky for her cousins wedding. We left on Wednesday and flew back the following Monday. We fit in so much on this trip it was AMAZING we weren't more tired. Here is a run down:
Saw Family, Kentucky's Largest Arts & Craft show, The Incredible Food Show with Bobby Flay, the wedding, a ghost walk, we toured My Old Kentucky Home and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting. Mom and I had never taken a real vacation together and I will have to sy we had a WONDERFUL time. We are saving now for a trip next year.
