After summer school, I cleaned my house. I hope I'm not the only one who always plans to clean the house but then works on school stuff or blogs or blog stalks instead? Well, I actually cleaned *most* of my downstairs today! Whoot whoot!
And...
Since I got my Nook on March 2nd- yes, I know the date. I love that Nook of mine!- I have read 19 books. Do you remember when I was a crazy anti-Nook lady? You know- when Barnes and Noble had a picture of me hanging in their store somewhere, forbidding anyone from ever selling me a Nook? Ok- maybe they really didn't, but they should have! Well, I'm officially in love!

They are all so good! If you're going to read one... make it Where Things Come Back or Please Ignore Vera Deitz. If you want to laugh hysterically... Bossypants.
I just started Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. So far, so good! It's sort of a cross between the City of... series by Cassandra Clare and The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. I'll blog about it at The Best Endings when I'm done!

Yeah, you're not the only one working on school stuff... I told my hubs last week I'd work on cleaning the house (I hate to clean...ugh) but I've done more printing, cutting, searching, buying, cutting, printing....than I have cleaning. I did vacuum the floors and mop the bathrooms. So not fun... :)

I want to be at that point where I don't know what day it is...I will be there in a few days! I need to cave in and buy a Nook. Everyone around me seems to have a Nook or Kindle and I want to join in the fun! :)

Learning Is Something to Treasure
I know exactly what you mean about meaning to clean and then blog stalking! That about sums up my day! :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading The Lucky One and loved it!
Did you like Insugent as much? I read Divergent and Loved it! I read it in a couple of days. Insugent I kinda gave up half way through. Maybe I'm just not in a YA fiction mood right now.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to read Bossy Pants next. I have the sample on my kindle.
Thanks for the linky... it's my first one :)

I'm so excited to be joining the linky! It's my first one and can't wait to hear what everyone else is reading and to find more blogs to stalk, lol. We moved into a new apartment a few weeks ago and I'm still not unpacked thanks to this addiction of mine ;o)

I LOVE MY NOOK!!! I let my students use it for listen to reading as a reward some days. (Since it is my personal nook and not the schools and we don't yet have nooks) I love all the free books and I really love getting to share books!
