On the burner this summer
I might have gone to a bookstore today. I might have bought some books. I might have done this instead of going to lunch with my husband and his best friend since I was too sick to eat. In my defense... 5 books came out to less than $50... so it's almost ok.The books were happily photographed on my lovely new BBQ. (Get it? "On the burner"? Get it? Heehee! I am so clever!) I use the term lovely loosely as the stupid appliance tried to chomp off my finger yesterday as we were putting it together. But it made us some delicious hamburgers tonight so I think I might have forgiven it.I couldn't get a nice enough shot of the books sitting on the grill like that so the run down:
- Fablehaven - Brandon Mull
- Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star - Brandon Mull
- Larklight - Philip Reeve
- The Mysterious Benedict Society - Trenton Lee Stewart (because EVERYONE is doing it!)
- The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor
I am very happy to have found The Looking Glass Wars on the shelf when I was there. I was only in that section of the store to pick up the Fablehaven books. I have been eyeing book two of the Looking Glass Wars, Seeing Red for some time but no one had the first book in stock. So, now? I am the happy owner of a twisted Wonderland story. Aside from Disney's Snow White, I think Alice in Wonderland is the other movie/story I love.The book I am currently reading? Rebel Fay? I am not so much enjoying. It's really long and slow. I am only on chapter 6 and yet I am over 100 pages into the book. As it is the 5th book in the Dhampir series I think it's starting to lose it's charm over me. I needed something else to get into and nothing on my shelves was speaking to me.So, a trip to the bookstore to spend money on books rather than food seemed like the best choice. (I also bought a summery shirt on my way to the bookstore... so it wasn't only books!)
