Fourth of July Photos

How I spent my Fourth of July holiday: watching the fireworks, visiting the Healing Field set up a the local high school, attending the parade, watching Brave, and eating WAY too much.  Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday as well!

I loved the effect when a vehicle drove in front of my photos

Top Ten Books We Are Excited To Read in 2012

Topic from The Broke and the Bookish!

Books that I am looking forward to reading in 2012 (Books in Blue are books I have read so far)

1. Amanda Hocking's Trylle Trilogy
I have read the first book, Switched and absolutely loved it!  Looking forward to completing the series as it is being released as a hard copy book this year.

2. Ally Condie's Matched #3
Must.....be....patient....

3. Rachel Hawkins Spell Bound
I should probably re-read Hex Hall and Demonglass before March....

4. Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games (I read this one!)

Yes, I am the only person on the planet that hasn't read these yet.  But I checked them out at the library today!

5.  Lauren Oliver's Delirium and then Pandemonium 
I have started Delirium and love it!

6. Alex Scarrow's TimeRiders series
I have only read the first one, anxious to read more in the series

7. Meg Cabot's The Mediator series
I have checked Book 5, Haunted three times!  I just need to stop checking it out with a ton of other books so I can actually read it all the way through!

8. Meg Cabot's Abandon
I have it on hold at the library.  Just have to be patient

9. Something by Dean Koontz (I read *almost* four.  I'm still in the middle of one as 2012 comes to an end)
I read The Eyes of Darkness last year and enjoyed it.  Since the bf has a ton of Koontz's books, then I should put them to good use.

10.  J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series
Because one cannot go an entire year without reading it!

Happy Reading!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great holiday week!  I have been doing a ton of reading and am now getting back into the swing of blogging.  I so far have finished 3 books towards my goal of 200 this year (and have 5 reviews to write and post).  Here's to 2012!

Happy Reading!
