Welcome!

This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

40 Books for 2011

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE my Kindle that Rene bought me as a wedding gift?  If I haven't let me stress the fact that next to my Speedy Damier Azur LV bag that he bought me earlier this year it may be the greatest gift ever!  I love the fact that I can take books where ever I am and read anytime I have a chance.  It's a refreshing break from work and school.

This year I went through 40 books!  I doubt that I will finish another by New Years Eve but who knows...I'm working my way up to the 52 a year mark! (2012 goal?)....here's a look at what I was reading this year. 


One Day
The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall

Pretty Little Liars [PRETTY LITTLE LIARS #01 PR]

Book Club Friday



I haven't posted since earlier this week but that's because I've been swamped with work and school but I have managed to start a new book (even if it was only 5 pages before I fell asleep last night).

I decided that since I could tell people now that I was 2/3 of the way done with my MBA, that saying so while reading "Pretty little liars" or "Sookie Stackhouse" books maybe wasn't the best way to represent myself LOL....so as much as I love my CW TV show books and my other vampire novels :)

I decided it was time to read a more grown up book...at least one. So I downloaded Freakonimics for my Kindle.

The book is based on four fundamental ideas:

  • 1) Incentives are the cornerstone of modern life.
  • 2) Conventional wisdom is often wrong.
  • 3) Dramatic effects often have distant, even subtle, causes.
  • 4) “Experts” use their informational advantage to serve their own interests.
I'm only like 5 pages into the book but with chapters like,

Chapter 1: What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common?

Chapter 2: How is the Ku Klux Klan like a Group of Real-Estate Agents?

Chapter 3: Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live with Their Moms? and many others it's sure to be an interesting, and intellectual book....

I'll be sure to provide my full review when I finish it-What are you reading?

Book Club Friday



I'm linking up with Heather at Blonde...Undercover Blonde for my post this Friday and taking part of her Book Club Friday.



Right now I am finishing up reading Dead in the Family: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (#10).

In this book of the series Sookie is dealing with her cousin needing a place to live after the a brief but deadly Fae war she's also dealing with her healing process after being injured. She also is sceptical when meeting Eric's maker and his "brother". And of course lots of other twists and turns as all the Sookie Stackhouse Novels involve. I will admit I love a little bit of "fantasy" in my day especially since I have to wait until May 2012 for TrueBlood to come back to TV.


If you haven't read any of these books I would highly suggest them!
What are you reading?
