- I meant to do a Stuff I Love post Saturday, and I didn’t get a chance between going to the farmer’s market (hello strawberries!) and going to get my car fixed. Which took 3 hours. Egads, it was a long wait. So, I’m sort of going to do it here today, along with all my other weekly rambling.
Bart from Barts Books shared this on Formspring and dude, I LOVE her voice! And the ukelele just cinches it.
- Doesn’t that Effie Trinket cupcake look all kinds of awesome? Click it to embig it.
- Speaking of Hunger Games, I am happy to report hubby finally started the audiobook and seems to be enjoying it. He’s just got past the interviews. And he’s Team Peeta, be still my heart. There is hope for him yet.
- I finished The Princess Bride over the weekend. The new, heartbreaking problem I had with the book? It. never. went. away. I still love the book, but instead of a 5, it’s probably more of a 4.65. I just don’t have the heart to go any lower. The likelihood of The Graveyard Book becoming my absolute favorite book is becoming more probable the more I think on this new problem. I’m extremely upset about this, as you can imagine. I feel like I’m having an identity crisis.
- I also read, in one day, Hope Larson’s graphic novel Mercury. I’ve never read Hope Larson before, I don’t think…her name seems familiar but I hadn’t heard of any of her other books. I hope to review it soon.
- Missing Picnik? Try PicMonkey. Some of the Picnik team members started it and it looks verrrry promising. Extremely promising. As in I’m going to love it more than I ever did Picnik promising.
- Leila has me wanting to read Grave Mercy now. Added it to the wishlist. Speaking of Leila, don’t forget her kick-ass contest!
- Also, THE READATHON IS NEXT WEEKEND!!!! How did this happen!?!? It came so fast! I have to make a list! An entirely too long but unavoidably so list! Should I post it? I’m leaning towards a lot of YA. I feel a YA binge coming on.
- Okay, so none of the classics I wanted to try last week stuck. Any suggestions? I have so many to choose from, it’s not even funny. Please? I need to get back on this bandwagon, I am behind on my goal for the year. *pout*
- I put in most of my garden yesterday. Lots of tomatoes, some cucumbers, a jalapeno…. Already had in green beans and carrots. Still need to do onions and potatoes. I have more room but can’t decide what else to put down. Plus I need to get some basil. Pictures on my Tumblr. Eventually and probably all summer.
- I could go on all day, so I’d better wrap it up now. How was your weekend? Are you as excited about the Readathon as I AM?!?!?!?!?!
