Books, books, books....

Hi friends!
In June I purchased a Kindle because I knew I'd be traveling a lot and I didn't want to watch tv all the time in the hotel rooms. I've been very successful in reading multiple books. I thought I'd give you a quick overview of all the books I've read. Just in case you're looking for a new book to add to your library.

1. The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins
     I found it frustrating that it took so long for excitement to happen.
2. Catching Fire Suzanne Collins 
     Much better than the first one but I was a bit confused during some sections of the book.
*3. Mocking Jay Suzanne Collins
     *I actually haven't finished this one because it's sooooo boring!*
4. Fifty Shades of Grey Series E.L. James
     I didn't find the hype that everyone else had. I just think Christian is so mean! However I did read the entire series so there must have been something good about them.
5. Beautiful Disaster Jamie McGuire
     I have read this book twice. It's one of my favorites so far because it reminds me of college. It's my top recommendation
6. Slammed Colleen Hoover
     This is a good easy read that keeps you turning pages.
7. Point of Retreat Colleen Hoover
    The second book of the Slammed series and I found it just as good as the first book.
8. Reason to Breathe Rebecca Donovan
    A sad book about what any teen can be experiencing.
9. Barley Breathing Rebecca Donovan
   Continuing the series, this book keeps you on your toes waiting to find out what's going to happen next.
10. Unlovable Sherry Gammon
    I am on a trend for picking books that have sad plots but I always am hoping for a good ending. So, again this book is great and another easy to read. The best part, it's only book 1 of 3...this lady needs to get writing.
11. Wild Montana Sky Debra Holland
     This is the first of the Montana Sky series and I found it delightful because it takes place 1800's and of course I love it even more because it involves Montana.
12. Starry Montana Sky Debra Holland
    Book two is great because it plays off the first book so it's not picking up from where book one left off it's adding onto the story.

I'm currently reading the last book of the Montana Sky series called Stormy Montana Sky. I look forward to finishing the book because it's heart felt and all about love.

Are you reading any good books? Any suggestions?

I hope you all have a great Monday!

Friday!

Happy Friday my friends!

It's time for the weekly flip. I think you know the situation but here's a refresher if you forgot. First I'm going to flip off the things that haven't been the best this week then I'll flip on the good things.

FLIP OFF
...to American Eagle jeans that are supposed to stretch. How many of you do sumo squats in the morning to stretch your jeans? Okay, I admit to gaining a few pounds but these suckers are supposed to stretch!
...to gaining a few pounds. I take total responsibility and I'm frustrated with myself.
...to Halloween candy. That's one of the reasons for the above issue.
...to people at Sissy Poo's job who are not nice to her. Leave her alone people, she's just doing her job!
...to not being ready for my race tomorrow. Again, my fault for being lazy.
...to the couch surfer who has taken up residence at our home. Get you own house fool!

FLIP ON
...to those amazing ladies I workout with. Encouraging to the max!
...to my half marathon tomorrow. I may die but I WILL cross that finish line.
...to my new car! Beep Beep! Don't fret Clark is still around, I'll be donating him to my brother, I just have to drive Clark to Oregon.
...to bonding with new SAR members. When you ride in a vehicle with them for 3 hours, you get to know a lot about them.
...to my boss who was equally excited for Beep Beep! Only because he hates Clark (or he's jealous of Clark.)
...to purple in my hair. I just wanted to spice things up a bit.
...to the Bobcat football game tomorrow and being able to watch it here in I.F.
...to being social and having friends.

That's all for this week. I hope you all have a safe but fun weekend!
