Hello, everyone! How is your August going so far? The husband and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend with dinner out and a trip to hear Ingrid Michaelson in concert. We are so thankful to have our parents close by who are willing to have our little guy spend the night at their houses!
Thank you to everyone who had kind words for my family and me last week. Some things are definitely getting better, so thank you for your prayers and thoughts!

Thanks so much! I thought it was brilliant, but I think I would be afraid to meet Gillian Flynn in a dark alley...
DeleteThree of these books are waiting for me on my iphone - I just haven't got to them yet! :)
ReplyDeleteI always feel as if waiting books are sad because they haven't been picked yet..just me?
DeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHow is Ivanhoe going?
Thanks Sam! All the good weddings happened in the summer, right?
DeleteIvanhoe is going well. It's taking me longer than most books because I have to really settle into the language, but I like it. It's good to stretch yourself and besides, it's a great story.
"The Fault" has been extremely popular at my library! Perfect choice :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week!!!
Check out what I'm reading and enter for a giveaway!
I don't read a lot of YA, but everyone has been gushing over this one! I'm excited to see what all of the fuss is about. :)
DeleteHappy Anniversary! I'd love to see her in concert, hope it was fab! You have a great list of books read and upcoming reads! Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week of reading!
Thank you! It was a fun concert. She actually had her husband as her opening act, so they sang a few duets together too.
DeleteHappy Reading to you as well!
Happy Anniversary and Happy Reading!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteIt is a good one. I picked it up mostly because I remembered adoring the Illustrated Classics version as a child. It's interesting to read the full text now.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're loving The Fault in Our Stars. Heard so many rave reviews about Gone Girl. These are two books I want to read soon. Enjoy! Oh, and happy anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI figured that The Fault in Our Stars would be a great change of pace after I finish Ivanhoe. I hope you enjoy it too!
DeleteThanks! :)
Happy late anniversary! One day I will get around to reading John Green and finding out for myself what all the fuss is about. I even own Looking for Alaska but I haven't read it yet. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jen! My sister really liked Looking for Alaska but this will be my first John Green book.
DeleteI hope you love The Fault in Our Stars! I adore John Green. He really is an amazing author. What did you think of Gone Girl? Wasn't it fantastic?
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing. How in the world did Gillian Flynn come up with this stuff?!?
DeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI looked up the books you have listed this post - Gone Girl looks pretty interesting, something to keep in mind for me.
thanks for visiting my blog - :)
Thanks so much! Gone Girl has all sorts of twists and turns that will keep you guessing.
DeleteI loved The Fault in Our Stars, though it was heart-wrenching. I hope you like it as much as I did. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read it! :)
DeleteI enjoyed it. It's set up as a series of essays centering around Jewish and Christian holidays.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading to you too!
I love the cover for Gone Girl. I totally need to read The Fault in Our Stars! My husband loved it. Hope you have a great reading week. Thanks for stopping by my Monday post:)
ReplyDeleteI started it today. It's wonderful so far! I hope you get to it soon. :)
