New Year, New Book, New Liebster Award!!

NEW YEAR

Welcome everyone to 2013!

 May your goals drive you crazy causing more grey hairs!! I know they will mine.

One goal...finish the book, baby!!

 

 

NEW BOOK

I finished an AWESOME book, "A Train to Potevka" by Mike Ramsdell. I actually slowed the reading because I DIDN'T want it to end. This non-fiction book is about "An American Spy in Russia". To REPLACE said awesome book I started the year with:

Jennifer Weiner's "Goodnight Nobody".

WHO DOESN'T like a book with these HILARIOUS opening lines:

• (describing a jack-o-lantern) "...it's right side had rotted and caved in overnight, and it looked like we had a sadistic stroke victim parked on our porch."
• (describing why she had 3 crazy kids) "...an act of intercourse I can barely remember and can't imagine I'd condone."
• (after meeting another mother at the park & the kids meet her) "...I managed, thinking, don't fall for it you little bastards. Of course, my kids were charmed...while Sophie stared at her and said, 'You're so pretty!' I tried not to roll my eyes. The last time Sophie looked at me that intently...she'd told me I had a hair growing out of my chin."
• (after being told no nuts or dairy at a bake sale) "...I managed to keep from asking, "How about crack? Would crack be okay?"
