beach readin'
1:05 PMThis past couple of weeks you may {or may not} have noticed that I was M.I.A. Well, I have a good reason...promise.
1. I got a new job! {y a y ! more on that later in the week}
2. I was at the beach this past week with my husband for some good old fashion relaxation. We had the amazing opportunity to go to Destin, FL for the week & since it had been 2 years since our last vacation, we ran! {only jokes...we actually drove. we aren't that active ;)} While there we had a few days of good fun in the sun {by fun I mean, I didn't move in the beach chair other than to take a drink or turn over} & we also had several days of rainy cold weather. Nonetheless, I read... A L O T. Nathan makes fun of how fast I read. I really don't mean to & didn't even realize I was a fast reader till about 4 years ago on our honeymoon. We had both just gotten Kindle's {they were BIG & new on the market at the time} & were laying out in the sun in Mexico & I clicked to the next page at least once {usually twice} before Nathan did. At first he didn't believe I could read that fast, but I guess it's true? Anyway...I read a few books this past week & I thought I'd share.
1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I actually reallllly enjoyed this book. I had tried to read it a couple months ago & couldn't seem to get into it for some reason. It was fast moving {which I love} & a murder mystery. I don't want to say too much, but if you read it then hopefully you agree about the ending. Meh.....
2. At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks. I know, I know...sappy girl book. I tend to lean toward reading those. I don't know why. Just a mindless good book with lots of happy & sad parts. I really liked this book. Kind of predictable {collective..duh} but still really good to read out on the beach.

Oh man! I loved At First Sight! There's a follow up to that one - True Believer! Be sure to get that one too!
ReplyDeleteStill haven't finished Gone Girl, but I do what I do and read the ending first. It was unexpected, but as the story goes on I am intrigued. Haha. We shall see how it turns out for me.
You read the end first?? That's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWill have to definitely look into True Believer! Thanks!
