5 favorites (and by 5 I mean at least 15)

I know, I know, three in one day. Remember, I have next to nothing to do.

This is a special edition of 5 favorites because in this one I will be discussing something very important to me and dear to my heart. BOOKS! I couldn't possibly list down even half of amazing books that I have read, but I will try.

(I have decided to veto Harry, even though I love that series more than I can express, but I don't need to go there)

Also, I am not going to tell you why I love these books because I don't want to. If you want to read them because you trust my opinion and taste, then great, let's talk after, but it would take forever to explain what I love about them. And, honestly, these books are not for everybody.

1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

2. These is My Words (series)
3. The Alchemist
4. Dreaming of Dior
5. The Merchant of Venice
6. Pride and Prejudice
7. The Glass Castle
8. Jane Eyre
9. The Uglies
10. I Capture the Castle
11. The Ordinary Princess (I read this when I was in elementary school and I love it)
12. Life of Pi
13.The House of the Scorpion
14. The Kite Runner
15. The Count of Monte Cristo


That should do it.











the best

I don't know how to appropriately or accurately describe my experiences since I have graduated except to say that they have been the best. And this is a very inadequate representation of why, but this is why:

I got to spend time with my family...in Seattle...which I love
I also got to meet up with some friends...in Seattle...which, in case I wasn't clear before, I love
I got to go shopping, and if any of you know me, you know that I love shopping, window gazing, just looking at everything...and I got to do that in Seattle...which I - OK, I think you get it
I went to Dick's for the first time in a long time
I got to put together puzzles with my mom and sister, and I might add I did one all by myself and realized that I am actually pretty efficient in the art of puzzle-putting-together
I got to see Calvin, and he still loves me
I got to see Griffin, and he tried to eat my socks
I got to eat at my favorite Chinese restaurant
I got to sing at the top of my lungs the whole drive to Utah
I got to see an amazing friend and eat amazing Thai food with her, eat savory bakery with her, laugh with her, see a movie with her and then talk in her car until almost three in the morning
I got to play Lego Star Wars with Robert, and I am planning on doing that again, very, very soon
I got to read books that I wanted to

It's been the best.

you may call me stir crazy

Maybe, it is the fact that I just moved to a new state and life, and still have more moving to do within that state before the month is over. Maybe it's the fact that I still need to find a second job. Maybe it's the fact that I don't really have a whole bunch of responsibilities (which is new for me). Maybe it's all of those things combined and more.

Anyway, where is this going?

I started a new chapter of my life and decided that I really hated my blog. Because the style, while is a little my style, it really wasn't at the same time. And I know that doesn't make sense but I am perfectly fine with that fact. It needed to change. Maybe, in a day I will change it again! Oh, the suspense. I bet you now will check every day just for that... I know - yeah right.
