Do forgive–lack of posts due to continuous unabashed reading.
Books of note include:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky — A classic not to be missed!
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins — Humorous, adorable, and romantic. Seriously, why is this not yet a movie?
And my favorite of the week that made me laugh out loud in an airport and totally freak out the family next to me: Wedding Night by Sophie Kinsella
Happy end-of-the-summer reading,

“Do forgive–lack of posts due to continuous unabashed reading.” This is perfect. I wish I could use this excuse for school. “I could not complete my homework on time because I was reading Perks of Being a Wallflower.” 🙂
If only there were more incredible teachers or flexible school systems that allowed independent study. 🙂
Haha if I was a teacher, I would be incredible and flexible. 🙂
I’m re-reading Revolutionary Road right now. I’ve been wanting to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Maybe that’ll be next on my reading list.
Make it so! 🙂 Meanwhile, I’m checking out Revolutionary Road and adding to my massive to-read list!
Yes, that’s definitely next on my list of books to read!
Anna and the French Kiss! I have to re-read that. Such a fluffy book. I agree with you, we need a movie!
How is The Perks of Being a Wallflower? I’ve been trying to read it but I always change my mind whenever I pick it up…
I don’t know if you’ll like it but you’ve been tagged :p http://chibireader.wordpress.com/2014/08/22/the-book-blogger-confessions-tag/
I have to be honest–I wasn’t really drawn into the beginning of Perks. I was actually a little confused by the voice of the protagonist–“What’s wrong with this guy?” But after a couple of chapters, things start to reveal themselves, and there’s a huge reveal at the end of the book that pretty much rewrites everything. 🙂
I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award! Here’s the info here: http://www.spacebetweenthespines.com/2014/08/the-liebster-award.html#comment-form
Thank you! 🙂
My husband hates when I read a funny book. I insist on reading the “funny” parts to him (which of course are not funny without the context)
I have the same problem. I will read them laughing, too, and he’ll look at me like I’m nuts. But then he takes out one of his military action books and tries to get me to read something, insisting it’s funny. Ah, how I love when the tables turn. 🙂
Anna and the french kiss would be AMAZING as a movie !!
I hope they turn it into one soon 🙂
Agreed! I really liked Lola and the Boy Next Door, too, but Anna has more cinematic cool-I’m-in-Paris potential.
