my own personal book club

Do you ever have 897435 books on your list, but you don't have time to start any of them? I do...all the time. But once I start reading, I'm a machine. I love going to the beach and getting through a stack of books before the week's over. LOVE it.

This absolutely sums up my life right now.

Anything I should add to my list?

I'm making an addendum to my weekend to-do list. In additional to maybe strolling the flea market with my mom and definitely seeing if Joann Fabric has anything to offer, I think I see a stint at Barnes and Noble in my future.

Also, 71 days to go.
