A Good Summer Read.

Summer is a great time for reading. During the school year, everything I read is for a class or for other educational purposes. So I get to the end of the school year and I've convinced myself I hate reading. It only takes one book though to remind myself that I do in fact love curling up on the couch or out in the sunshine with a great book.
I started off the summer reading The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner. It was predictable, repetitive and quite frankly, boring. But I finished it, because I hate leaving a book unfinished. I always give a book the benefit of the doubt that it will somehow redeem itself in the last chapter.
The second book I chose to read, and just finished today, was Still LoLo, a true story written by a girl who lost her hand and one eye when she walked into a plane's spinning propeller. It's a story of redemption and God's grace written from not only her perspective, but her families' as well. It's a quick read (I think I finished in only 3 days), but I'd give it an A+.
Now I need a new book to get me through these next few weeks before work starts. Any suggestions?

This one's for you girl.

There's a girl named Katja. 
I miss her lots and lots-ja!
She goes to Mary-Hardin Baylor.
So far away from me and Taylor. :(
This makes me so sad
Because I miss her so bad.
We've been around the world together,
In Italy we bought bracelets of leather.
At her home we always drank tea.
In mugs made by her and me.
I'm writing this poem to tell her I miss her.
I think she should transfer.
But, fo realz, she should come visit me.
That would make me go WHOOPEE.

Here's a few pictures of her and I.
Looking at them makes me want to cry.
