I know. I’ve been a terrible blogger these past couple of… well, week. Has it really been that long? I apologize. First of all, I’ve been in such a book slump lately I haven’t any reviews to post and second of all, well… I’ve been lazy.
The fourth of July was a ton of fun. My family and I were invited to a pool party by some friends of ours (I’ve been friends with their daughter since I was little and she went to school with me last year), and there were some great party snacks and a pool – plus incredible fireworks. I mean, seriously. Not just little ones or sparklers or anything of the sort. Real fireworks. It was pretty awesome.
Also happening this past week was putting new tile in our kitchen and my parent’s master bathroom and shower. It’s really nice, too.
Moving on… I went to the library the last time I posted Stacking the Shelves, and how many books have I read, you may ask? 0. A big fat goose egg. I know, I’m lazy. (Very.) I’m no longer reading The Lucy Variations. (According to my “currently reading” widget, I’ve been ‘reading’ it for about three weeks now.) I didn’t even finish it. I’m going to try to one of these days, when I don’t have any books to read, but I rather disliked it, to say the least. It’s so slow. I’m almost done with Little Men (which is very funny! I absolutely love it!!!) and I also just started Hope was Here, by Joan Bauer. Joan is one of my favorite authors, and I really like the book thus far.
Oh! And my little sister and I are enjoying The Chronicles of Narnia very much. At first, upon begging my sister to let me read to her (since reading aloud to other people is so much more fun), Anna was very reluctant to let me. Now she’s begging me to let her read it to her. Mwahahaha… but yes, we are almost finished with it and love it. I’m not really sure why I didn’t want to read it before…
July NaNoWriMo hasn’t been very productive lately. I haven’t worked on Booky in so long before now… I’ve been using Google Docs to write it because I can always pull it up, whatever computer I’m using, and look at it on my phone (though I really don’t like the Google Docs app. It’s so annoying and takes me forever to scroll down to where I left off.) But I’m hoping to do the Beautiful People linkup soon, so maybe that will get me going. You’ll be meeting Miss Lucy Lovell, the MC of Booky, no doubt. (Don’t hold me to it, though. I’m a very fickle person.)
Until next time! Again, sorry for not posting lately. Perhaps I’ll get going and type up some more posts for the coming week. Thanks for reading!
Wow! Those fireworks really were something! I saw zero fireworks 🙁 I heard maybe four, saw zero.
I’m soooo behind on reading due to NaNo (which I’m also behind on). Everybody is lending me books that I don’t have time to read 🙂 lol! Why is it that when we have so much time on our hands, we have nothing to read, but when we’re super busy, we have too many books to count?
Yay! You’re back! I saw some really nice fireworks in my town fireworks show. They were amazing and it was also a pretty longs show. I’m so glad that you’re enjoying The Chronicles of Narnia. I need to reread the series sometime.
