What mood I'm in today: Reading

It's a warm summer day here, and I know you all want a good book to read by the pool side or holed up in your cool basement. I thought I would throw out some great summer reads, and start with this one:

Keeping the Moon, by Sarah Dessen, is a light yet thought-provoking read about Colie's summer at her aunt's. You can read my review on Goodreads. I'm going to pick up another Sarah Dessen ASAP, and enjoy my summer by the pool - er, I mean, in the basement.
Happy Reading!

Happy Mother's Day!
Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday morning. The boys made me a delicious French Toast Bake with strawberry smoothies. Isn't it great when your kids are old enough to cook for you?
My most recent read is this:

 

Another lovely read from Kimberly Loth. You can read my very scattered, left-brained review on Goodreads or Amazon. I gave it five stars, and it's a fantastic book, a beautiful love story about a girl who has lost her father to suicide.
Until next time, Happy Reading!

The Beautiful Between

What I'm listening to right now: Donald Duck cartoons, old school

Happy New Year!
I love New Year's Day. It's like this whole starting over point. And even though it's halfway through the month (and we've got both feet firmly planted in 2015 already, right?), I'm still excited about it being a new year. Time goes by so fast. So much can happen in a short amount of time. At least I was able to read a whole 12 books last year. As for this year, I will plan on the same. Unless I get the time to read fourteen. Smiley face!

The last book I finished in 2014 was a little gem called The Beautiful Between, by Alyssa B. Sheinmel. You can read my review on Goodreads. For the short review, I liked it and gave it three stars, mostly for it being a bit heavy (not just for young readers, but for anyone).
And for the New Year - Happy Reading!
