Helter Skelter

I've got another 3 books all going at once: Longbourn, Legendary, and Ice Cream Queen (still, I know...I miss placed it for a week and found it wrapped up in my hammock!).  I haven't finished either yet, but I am enjoying them all. In fact, I want to get back to Legendary right now. I'm more than half done already. I'm off to rinse the day away and hope in bed with my doggos and read until I can't possibly keep my eyes open; which, now that I'm old only takes about 5 minutes!

To Stay or Not to Stay, That is the Question

So if you have ever followed my blog, you know that I am a poly-reader; meaning I am reading multiple books at the same time. Currently, I am reading Wildflower by Drew Barrymore, The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street by Susan Jane Gilman, and On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingals Wilder.  I get to listen to Wildflower during my commute, read Ice Cream Queen during free time, and Plum Creek while on break at work and between calls. 

The most recent book I finished, was If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I enjoyed the book and listening to it. I don't think it was particular amazing. It is a new way to think about life and death. My personal morals don't quite align with what is portrayed in the movie; but it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the story. I'm a sucker for a love-conquers-all kinda story. Mia, the main character, goes through her life story and reasons for staying or leaving life behind, after her family has been in a terrible car crash. I won't spoil it, but I'm pretty sure many people have seen the movie that came out a while ago. If you love stories and seeing life from someone else's view; this is a good book to just enjoy.
