And I'm just saying - a haircut always makes for a good week!<br /><br />Since you're reading A Prayer for Owen Meany, have you seen the movie Simon Burch? It was based on the book, and is pretty delightful. In fact, I don't think I've seen it in probably a decade so I should pull both the movie and the book out. I am reading much lighter fare - a YA trilogy by Marissa Meyer and I am picking Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell up at the library tomorrow.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08325898729203111520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-5260374386119192042014-03-24T10:05:59.823-05:002014-03-24T10:05:59.823-05:00Yes- I've heard of The Walk and have not read ...Yes- I've heard of The Walk and have not read any of those.

I have been reading 'The Walk" series but Richard Paul Evan's you would love this..anyone would. every may a new book comes out..so the first book is called THE WALK... I think there are 4 now. The 5th coming this may. Its in general about how one life touches another, how we meet people for reasons.Yet its a profound wonderful story that keeps you guessing on what is next. I also love The Noticer...it give you a perspective on thing's...and both these books male and females just love!!! I know you would love them as well...!!! I could so see you chasing your trash and recycling can's...I have done that a time or two...in PJ's in the snow...up hill both ways!!! ha ha ha <br />much love, prayers and blessing to you!!!

Was so glad, Rick captured the moment like he did. I can imagine what your book shelves would look like- I think I could get lost in them quite easily :) I think you will love the Owen Meany book- John Irving is is someone you may already be familiar with- he also wrote The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, and many more.

It was beautiful just yesterday bit today will be rainy and blustery and this week we will be back in the 20's and 30's as lows. We have baseball games Tuesday and Wednesday nights. You aren't supposed to watch baseball all bundled up in blanket! Ha!<br />I am reading It Starts With Food, riveting for sure. No, it is enlightening and my daughter and I are going to try Whole 30 when she graduates from college in May. I am also trying to read Unspoken by Dee Henderson. I like her books; Christian fiction, mystery/suspense based. The stories are good and yet more believable than some others I have read. My side table is scatted with books right now and to be honest, I feel as if I have little time to truly enjoy reading lately. Ready for a few things to wrap up so I can get lost in a good book again. I enjoyed your recommendation and added it to the list. More so, I enjoyed your good news!
