What I'm Loving...

I'm joining in with Jamie for WILW!

1. Safe Haven
BY FAR, the BEST Nicholas Sparks' book I have ever read. I read this book in 3 days. If you love Lifetime Movies, you will LOVE this book. It's unlike anything he has ever written. I stayed up wayyy past my bedtime to finish it :)
The book gives this description:
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her . . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.
Go read it. I swear you will not be disappointed.

2. Over due Massage
This Friday, I'm going to get a one-hour massage that my boss bought me for Christmas :) I am so excited and cannot wait. It's been a year since I've had one! I wish I could afford to have a custom massage every month.

3. Baseball

I just found out that M & I will be going to the opening day game of the Orioles! He bought us tickets in a great section. I am so excited for this because I've never been. It's a huge outing for the entire city :) I just hope the weather behaves because some years it has snowed while others it's been sunny and warm. It's in the 1st week of April so I'm hoping it's warm out!

Hope your week is going well! What are you loving this Wednesday?

Woo Hoo!

Well, I'm finally finished with spring semester! I can finally  b r e a t h e !
I have two of my grades so far - an A and a B (out of 4 classes) so that's
something to smile about :-) I'm so ready for summer to be here!

Speaking of school being over and summer arriving, I FINALLY have time to read the stack of books I've been wanting to! I couldn't read during the semester because I was forced by my professors to read boring nonsense!
(I had to take a folklore and literature class - terrible I tell you!)

Here are some of the books I have lined up to read:

I've already started reading this and I must say it's funny
but I wouldn't expect anything less from Ms. Handler :-)
I already read My Horizontal Life and loved it.
I'm hoping to finish this soon so I can start reading . . .

 
I'm hoping this book will be the best yet.
After I finish Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang,
I want to start reading . . .

I read the first book of Lauren's and it's a total chick lit book
(obvs. my favorite kind) so I feel I should read this one too since it's
a follow up to the first one. I think I may have to re-read the first book
though since I sort off forget what happened - it's been a while since I read it.


I bought this book a while ago and have yet to read it. I love Nicholas Sparks (sorry for those who don't!) and his books are always quick reads for me.
Since it's been sitting for quite sometime, I'm going to try to read it.


Last but not least, my friend let me borrow these books and insists that I MUST read them because they're so good. You know let know what you think:



If you've read any of books above, let me know what you think!
If you have any recommendations, share with me! :-)
