Happy 24th of July!

I hope that everyone has a great Pioneer Day! I can't help but think of those years that I marched in the Days of '47 Parade. Both lots of fun and completely exhausting! Have fun and stay safe. As for me, I'll be working all day. Oh well, I guess that someone has to do it!

100th Book

This year, for the first time, I decided to keep track of how many books I read throughout the year. The other day, I finished my 100th book of the year: Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery. I have no idea if that's a lot of books for me, or just typical! I guess that next year we'll just have to see how it compares.

What a fun and cute book this was! I'm really not sure why I've never read it before. I grew up reading everything that I could get my hands on, had this entire series sitting on my bookshelf for years, and loved the movies. And yet, I never read it! I can easily see why this book is such a classic. It was just a great read! I understand that Anne's ramblings could bother some people, but for me, she just reminded me of myself when I was her age! Of course, my mom would probably say that it reminds her of me now. Who knows! Maybe Anne and I are "kindred spirts". I mean, I do have her name, even spelled with an "e". And yes, I agree, it looks so much better spelled that way! Loved it and can't wait to read the next book in the series!!!

BTW, you might notice that 2 of the things that I have on the right side of my blog say goodreads. That's a website that my friend Michelle got me hooked on! As for the favorie quotes that it shows, if you don't like the one that's up, just refresh your page and it'll change!

Hello!

So, I finally gave in and created a blog! I'm not sure why I've never had one before and the only excuse I have for starting one now is that I was bored while working! I guess that I've always felt like I would never really have anything to talk about on a blog, but my mom is always telling me that I never stop talking so hopefully I can keep things interesting! Honestly, I have a feeling that at least half of my posts will end up being about books. I'm always having people ask me what books I would recommend, so I'll probably use this blog to do that. Also, with my crazy work schedule, I have a really hard time keeping in contact with everyone that I wish I could. So, hopefully this will help.

I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to designing a blog, so any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
