to catch up

1. I finished A Year of Living Biblically. I was kind of disappointed by the end.

2. Started and didn't finish a considerable number of really bad books.

3. Fell in love with books by Adriana Trigiani. She writes about a charming fictional town in the mountains of Virginia called Big Stone Gap, and the people who live there are normal: they use bad grammar, can't maintain consistently healthy relationship and screw up in a variety of other ways. In other words, not so neat and clean, but the writing is.

4. I also started reading both Wild at Heart and Captivating, both by John Eldredge with input from his wife Stasi. I don't completely hate either one of them yet, but I don't buy everything either. Though I think that's probably what I feel about most things I read.

5. Having it be sunny today makes me feel like someone took the lid off the tin can of my world.

Haha, I liked all your mini book reviews here. And I totally, totally agree with point 5; I feel the exact same way.
