Dos Libros Nuevos

So...I got two new books today from the library. I have 2009's "Love or Something Like It" by Deirdre Shaw...and a soon to be movie, "One Day" by David Nicholls. So...technically I was supposed to have been finished with an old and wonderful read "The Undomestic Goddess"...well..you know, life happens...and a whole lot of reading hasn't...but we must never fear...now that I have an actual timeline for reading the other two...the fire has been lit, and I will undoubtedly get the reading done...I've never read anything by a male author...so I feel like "One Day" may be the first out of the gate...we shall see...

The Undomestic Goddess by. Sophie Kinsella

So...this is a re-read for me. I've done this one before. I've loved it, and my hope is to fall in love with it all over again.

Lawyer Samantha "messes up" at work, has a meltdown, runs away (a woman after my own heart, lol), ends up in a job that makes no sense for her, falls deliciously in love...the end...right, if only things worked out that well. Of course her real life will come back to smack her in the face and what we learn in the story is how she makes sense of it all...

Today I will begin...I'll report back in about 2 days with all the goodies I have regarding this Sophie Kinsella hit.

Leyendo es divertido.

I'm pretty sure reading is one of my most beloved pastimes. I think I only make sense with a book...whether I'm reading it, or just carrying it with me...or more recently writing one...those wonderful works of generally 300 pages bring me joy for weeks on end. As I've spent a good portion of my day compiling a list of titles I want to read as well as titles I plan on purchasing in the near future, I thought, it might be nice to keep a running list of the different things I'm reading...I can chronicle the lessons I've learned, the beauty of the stories I've read, maybe some of the duds, and hopefully this may incite others to join in the art of leyendo.
