I'm Turning 30 Soon

and up until last night I was truly feeling sorry for myself.  I don't know why this number (age) bothers me so much, but it does.  I find that I'm being entirely too nostalgic for my own good.  It's honestly just depressing.  And then I read this book.  A blind read (as I call it) when I just jump in and have no idea what it's even about.  I got it from the library, thought the title was different? and simply took a chance.

“What a slut time is. She screws everybody.” 
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

I never want this for my life or anyone else.  This is a story about two young people who are plagued with cancer and quite simply, one of the most beautiful stories I have ever read.  I cried.  Hard.  Really Hard.  And then I stopped feeling sorry for myself.

Thank you John Green for your beautiful story and for putting me in my place.  I needed it.

“But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.” 

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Smutty Smut Book Club

I mentioned in my last post that I have been reading...alot... lately.  The term "alot" seems like an understatement.  I'm about to drive my husband insane in all actuality.  :)   

This post is for my girls who want to know what I'm reading and it just seems easier to put it here than trying to let you each know what I do/do not recommend.  Our attempts at forming a true book club have failed, but maybe we can make something cyber work?

To your top right --------->>>  is my GoodReads page where I list, rate, and sometimes review what I've read.  Feel free to peruse and make your own pages for me to follow!!

Oh, and I'm tad bit obsessed with Romance at the moment so my tastes seem slightly singular.  This isn't truly the case, but I can get a helluvalota Kindle books in this department for under $4.  Win. Win.
