How could I let this happen? I needed to read this book for Amazon Vine...
I think I read way too much...check out these covers...I needed to read million dollar road first but I grabbed Liar's Bench without ever really looking at the cover...so I read Liar's Bench...thinking it was the book I needed to read just because of the covers...which don't even really resemble each other? No more choosing without my glasses or contacts...but both books were Southern and really good! One even had a lone white alligator in it...lol...but I can't remember which one...just teasing! Both books were excellent...absorbing...thought provoking...slightly uncomfortable...both had young girls as the main characters...
I really hope that I am not boring you with trip trivia but I had to share this note...it was just so perfect! It is my kind of vacay...lol...
We just got back from one of our yummy three day two nights away vacays...lol...it's as long as I am willing to leave Lucy and Roxie for now...I seriously don't think Lucy eats while we are away...and that is a worry. Our cat sitter is so good with them but Lucy hides...fusses over her pill...and again...I don't think she eats...Roxie is a little crazy when we are gone...the sitter sent me a movie of her somersaulting all over her and actually holding on to her...my girls do not do well without us...for sure.
We went to Oxford Maryland..about 2/12 hours away...such a sweet town...it's known for its white fences...almost every amazing house that we saw had a white picket fence. Our hotel was really unique...we sat outside and read for hours...and I walked on shells on the little beach...and we watched big boats and tiny little sailboats...in sailing school. You could tell they were little kids...it looked liked Sailing School recess...too cute and funny! This is from our upstairs screened in porch...we read there, too!
Sandwiches...I could live on them! These are from Serious Eats! Don't they look...er...ah...delectable? All recipes are on Serious Eats!
Lobster Club!
Roxie Blue is guarding my new stash of books! She loves biting the covers...and book markers, too. I predict that Saint Mazie's edges will be chewed on momentarily!
City On Fire scares me! It's massive! And...massive means very heavy!
From Amazon...A big-hearted, boundary-vaulting novel that heralds a remarkable new talent: set in 1970s New York, a story outsized in its generosity, warmth, and ambition, its deep feeling for its characters, its exuberant imagination.
From Amazon...Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars in this soapy, drama-packed novel featuring diverse characters who will do anything to be the prima at their elite ballet school.
From Amazon...
Ally Carter’s megabestselling Gallagher Girls series meets Veronica Mars with a paranormal twist when Jillian Cade’s (fake!) private eye service unearths far more than she bargained for.
From Where I Watch You...suspense, terror and cookies!
Saint Mazie...a big hearted fun loving lady who lived during the Great Depression...and...who has tons of secrets...thank goodness she left a diary that is discovered 90 years later!
So...those are my books this week...a little heavy on YA...but that's ok...this rainy stormy week is a perfect reading week!
Have a fantastic Monday!
I think that I have weird obsessions...the coloring and colored pencil obsession...buying clothes in three's obsession...my book obsession, of course...and recently my Jurassic everything obsession...I am watching the second one again now but it's still soooo good! I love Jeff Goldblum in these! And the velociraptors...deadly yet still cute? Oh my!
This even looks good! This lovely food blogger makes it out of Sprite, pineapple juice and Tropical Punch Koolaid!
