This summer, I've been doing a lot of reading. Every week on a scrappin' message board, there is a "whatcha reading?" thread and I've been getting lots of great recommendations on books to read. I just finished reading The Book of Bright Ideas. It was an enjoyable read and I was amused and enlightened at the bright ideas that the girls came up with. For example, Bright Idea #96 is "When you go on a trip to buy a special surpise for your best friend, sing "You are My Sunshine" and think of all the big people and the little people who are your sunshines. then look at the houses you pass, and think about the people who lived in them, and hope they were somebody's sunshine too." The ending caught me a little off guard but that made it more interesting. It was an easy read, but very touching and good life lessons in there as well. I've put it up on paperback swap if anyone else would like to read it.
Next on my list is A Reliable Wife. It got a lot of great reviews from fellow readers. I'm looking forward to diving into that one! What have you been reading this summer? Anything good?
And exciting news (well exciting to us!) in our house...K and I just ordered our first IPOD Touch! I'm so excited to get it and see what all the hype is about. I hear that I can use it as an electronic reader, as well as for paperless geocaching and logging on the run as well. He's got other plans with it, but I think we'll be able to share LOL!
