Happy Fourth of July!! Ahhh. It's been a good day, full of baking, baking and more baking. Oatmeal cookies, peanut butter cookies, lemon oat streussel bars, fudge topped brownies, homemade apple pie all made today. I was really looking forward to eating goodies today; so far, half an oatmeal cookie. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. :)
This fifteenth week had a day at Mojave Narrows with friends, Cabrillo Beach and fireworks shopping with family and a couple of pleasant days spent doing nothing that required preparation and planning. You know, the best kind of nothing.
It's funny, this week began with me thinking that I wouldn't get much reading done (again) and actually finishing five books. Yay. Number five equalled sixty-six (66). That's right. I said it. Sixty-six!! I at least liked everything I read and super-duper liked most! Can you say "super-duper" without sounding like a dork? Hmm. Does spending time pondering that question automatically confer dorkiness? Does use of the word "confer" equate nerdiness? Good grief, I think I just answered all my questions. Eh. What the hay. I will accept your appellations and raise you one goofiness.
Alright, alright. Reining myself in. Back to the reading. This week I have two picks of the week, almost three, but I'm going to limit myself to two.
Picks of the Week:
Jimi & Me by Jaime Adoff
and
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Happy reading, happy summer, happy day.
