I’ve been reading.
But I haven’t been blogging. I’m not sure how many hours I spent on airplanes over the last couple months, but it’s more than I care to calculate. The airplane time, coupled with the fab iPad birthday gift have led me to be above average when it comes to the One Book, One Month Challenge. […]

I must start by thanking Amazon for recommending this book to me. I likely never would have discovered it otherwise. I was finally replacing my Rent DVD that was stolen during The Great Break In of 2008, when this little gem popped up on my screen. So I decided to see if Amazon really knows […]

Bossypants by Tina Fey
Don’t let the creepy cover deter you. I love this book a lot. Here are a few reasons why: It is the perfect length for flying from Indy to Phoenix to Reno. Tina Fey is an awesome, hilarious writer who is not afraid to poke fun at herself. One of the chapters is called, “Peeing […]

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families & Churches by Russell D. Moore

Shoot. I did it again. I got completely into this book and was up until 1 am reading, complete with Kleenex in hand. I always think it sounds really cliche when people say things like, “I laughed. I cried.” But friends, that’s what happened when I read this book. If you’ve known me for any […]

Disclaimer: Let’s not make any assumptions based on the fact that I read this book! Margaret Schwartz published a collection of her journal entries written as she went through the adoption process – from the time she began her paperwork through about six months after she brought her children home.

First, I’d like to say hello again. It’s nice to be back. I am post-school, post-craziness and am happy to be reading again. And even reading things I want to read… not books like Stats to Go, Financing Sport and Applied Strategic Planning. Hopefully this is just the first of many of this summer’s fun […]

I picked this book up after reading about it in People Magazine. It’s the story of a lifelong friendship of 11 women who grew up together in Ames, Iowa. Despite a bit of a slow start and some confusion in trying to keep straight all the different characters in the book, I ended up really enjoying […]

Tags: relationships.
(Now I remember why I took a hiatus from books there for awhile… I have this problem where once I start reading, I’m not good at stopping. I read instead of studying, eating, sleeping….) We often hear the analogy of being “married” to God. So when this author was having relationship issues she did what […]
