Books and Stuff...

So I had to take a break from "Winter of the World" and just read some "fluff" books for a fun escape. The last couple of weeks I have read the following:
"From Ashes" by Molly McAdams, "Losing It" by Cora Carmack, "Faking It" by Cora Carmack, "Where'd you go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple, and "Unchartered: An On the Island Novella" by Tracey Garvis Graves. The first three are pretty basic...easy-no-thinking, fun reads.

The "Bernadette" one is different. It is written in a lot of e-mails and I really didn't know where it was going at first but still continued to read it but once you read the entire book and look back on it...it was good and makes an interesting point. "Uncharted"...well I LOVED "On the Island" (I mentioned the book HERE and HERE) and I just found out that they are making a movie based on "On the Island" too! So I loved "Uncharted" as it went along with a story line that was mentioned in "On the Island." Now I'm debating to read another fluff book before reading the book club book....or head back into "Winter of the Worlds?"

Also have you heard that JK Rowling wrote another book, "The Cuckoo's Calling" under a pseudonym? It actually looks interesting so it has been added to my "wish list." You can see article HERE about it being confirmed that it was Rowling who wrote it.


I cannot believe there is only really one month left of summer for me...boo! Even though I have worked this summer, I have still gotten to do fun stuff with Norah and have that free time. Once school kicks in gear...everyone will be so busy! Of course, football season will be here which is always fun so that is a trade-off....

I've been looking at things for my classroom and just in general about to get my room ready. I found this clock that I would love to have in my classroom...only a true math nerd like me will appreciate it...but how fabulous!
