You are a lucky California girl–I love your state.
I’m about to start MOLOKAI, a historical fiction recommendation.
Happy 4th!
Thanks, Rebecca! We’re loving CA too! Looking forward to your thoughts on MOLOKAI.
Okay, first off, I’d re-caption the “Lucky” picture to “Hotties”. Just sayin’…
I’m currently reading Cassandra Clare’s CLOCKWORK ANGEL, because I was really craving something Steampunk (Colin would kill me for not diving into LEVIATHAN instead), and I love Ms. Clare’s stuff. I haven’t gotten very far into, though, because I’m also currently reading (and loving!) GREAT EXPECTATIONS with Jess Silverstein and her students.
Hope your summer’s going well so far, but judging by the pics, I can pretty much tell that it is. And have a very safe and Happy Independence Day!
Haha! Hotties… I’m sure that would go over well with strangers/new blog readers.
You’ve got some great books in your line-up. I’ve yet to read Cassandra Clare(!) but I should probably remedy that soon!
I’m with Jaime on this! You both look GREAT! Your kiddo is as always adorable and did you manage to say “no” to that face?
I just finished reading LOOKING FOR ALASKA and just started CIRCLE OF SILENCE.
Haooy 4th of July, Katy! Hope you have a great day with your friends and family
Thanks, Elodie! I liked your review of ALASKA… Such an intense book! Looking forward to your thoughts on CIRCLE OF SILENCE.
I LOVE that pic of you and your husband! Right now I’m about to start Bitter End. Or Summer in the City. Depends on what I grab for when I head to the beach tomorrow.
Happy Fourth!
Thanks, Alison! Enjoy your beach reading… Sounds amazing!
I hope you and your family had a great 4th, Katy! I’m FINALLY Reading THE DISENCHANTMENTS. Just a few chapters in so far, but I’m already loving it.
Oh, how I adore that book. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Adorable little girl. I’ve got one about that age and she always throws out those cute smiles and pleases when asking for something.
I’m reading Between Mom and Jo by Julie Anne Peters right now.
They certainly know how to work it, don’t they?
