Wow! Summer is over already?!

I hope everyone had a great summer!

I wanted to first start with a Question of the Week ...

The Question of the Week is: What was your favorite thing about summer?

I enjoyed having more time to read and enjoying the warm weather.

Please cast your vote in the poll located at the top of the blog :)

I also thought I would share some titles that I really enjoyed reading this summer:

* Wings by Aprilynne Pike (so good! it reminded me of Twilight)

* The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han (same author of Shug - this was a great summer read!)

* Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (the sequel to The Hunger Games - I could not put it down!)

What did you read this summer? Leave a comment and let me know!

Snow!

Wow! By the time I got home today, I could barely drive into my driveway. :) I shoveled the driveway (heavy snow), read my book (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), and then played outside with Annie the dog. She wanted me to throw her ball over and over and over again! She loved the snow. I have included a picture of Annie - this is her "please throw the ball NOW" look. :)

What did you do today with all the snow? Cast your vote in the poll!

Happy New Year

I can't believe the winter break is almost over ... it just seemed to fly by. My break consisted of: lots of reading, lots of knitting, and lots of playing with Annie the dog outside. :)
