Lots O' Reading
So, I put The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Shroud aside again to read a few others (all photos taken from Google Images):
A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron
This was a great book. It's a great summer/beach read and a really enjoyable story. Anyone who has a dog should read it.
A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin (I've been waiting for this one for a while)
5th installment of his A Song of Ice and Fire series. Good story, a lot of set up, not much resolution.
(The TV show on HBO entitled Game of Thrones is based on the first book of this series, and they are currently in the process of filming season 2, based on the second book)
I bought this book for my Kindle because it is currently only available in hardcover. I have all the other books in paperback. I didn't want to wait to read it, but I'll purchase it in paperback to continue with the collection. :)
Juliet by Anne Fortier
Really enjoyable read. I really like reading historical fiction, especially if real people from history make an appearance. The book goes back and forth between present day and 1340, which I thought was interesting as well.
Now You See Her by James Patterson
As always with his books, a quick page-turner that sucks you right in. Pretty decent. It amazes me how many different stories he can come up with!
and now I'm reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I only just started this book this morning so I don't have a fully formed opinion yet. Though it's unconventional, I do like the writing style.
I'm trying to think if there are any other books I've read, but I can't think of any...I think those are the most recent...
In other news, I'm considering going back to school for my Masters Degree but I have a lot of stuff to do through and plan and figure out before I take that big step. Ideally I'd like to go for next fall, but there is a lot that needs to be done before January (when the application is due) and that is (gulp) only a few months away. So in reality I probably wouldn't do the program until Fall 2013 (they only offer the program beginning in Fall semesters). It's a Masters Degree in Writing and Publishing...right up my alley!
In creative news, I made a sleeve for my Kindle, but will need to fix and/or make a new one because one of the seams started to come undone. I started a hat for Krista but it's slow going because I'm having trouble with a step in the pattern, but I'll figure it out. I also started to make a yoga mat bag, kind of making it up as I go along :)
I started doing yoga three weeks ago with my cousin Caitlin...90 minute hot power yoga every Tuesday. Unfortunately, I was unable to go tonight because I got out of work late, but I'll be there next week. I purchased some yoga books and accessories (strap & block) from Amazon last week so I should be getting that stuff within the next week !
