so much pretty stuff

book nerd list aka summer reading

working at a library all week, spending the weekend at my local barns and nobles, and  up loading books to to my kindle its safe to say i'm a book nerd and i very proud of that. i love reading now but if you would have asked the 9 year old me i would have said no i hate reading only nerds do that. little did i know that i would grow up and love the different places a book can take you and i have enjoyed reading about these characters.

1. girl with a dragon tattoo (the millennium series)

yes i know that everyone and i mean everyone had either read, is reading, or wants to read this series. it was really good i never knew what was going to happen and every time i finished a chapter i just kept going. it was really hard to put down. i finished the 1st one in 3 days and started reading the 2nd one but stopped in the middle to read.....

2. silent girl aka the rizzoli and isles series

i read these books last summer from the very first book to what then was the last or the newest book and i was very eager to get this since i found out it was going to come out in july.  i even pre ordered it and i'm right in the middle of it and its very good. i love the character of jane rizzoli she's a tough woman and i love that about this book series is that she i a very good heroine.

3. just kids

i started this book and then i lost it in my pan am bag for a while my sister read it and said "it was great and you absolutely need to read this!" this is still on my reading list for sure.

4. Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter

i love love love this book. i read this book in about a week and when we traveled down to south Carolina we listened to it on the way down. i love the relationship between abraham and henry. a vampire who helps Abe become the worlds best vampire hunter. (i loved this book so much that i name the little black kitten that rescued from under our deck henry because when he yawns you can see two little teeth. ) anyway this book is so good and entertaining that i swear you wont put it down.(it also helped me to remember facts for my history class) did i mention they are making a movie about it super excited.
update: the movie was completely different don't watch it. 
if you guys are looking for books to read this summer i would suggest these i loved them and maybe you would too.

the day's they came and went and came again.

the past few weeks since i promised to write every day have been bombarded with issues, i felt under the weather for a week then felt drained at work because my trusty side kick retired, then it was vacation time! so the days keep changing so fast i can't believe its july 7th already. man where does the time go? i will be doing/ posting the diy i  was going to do some time next week or this weekend if things don't pop out of nowhere like they keep doing.  will post about what we did during the vacation had lots of fun and when we got home we even got a new pet! tons of stuff to fill you guys in i'm kinda excited about this season of my life.

my summer must haves

i'm loving friendship bracelets every summer i always make a few to wear all summer long. they look so good layered on on top of another. i think they complete any summer outfit from dresses to a t shirt and shorts.

i love that they can be as simple as a braid or the more complicated knots. i love the patterns that you can make from the regular 4 knot to a zig zag and you can add beads to make them extra special.

here's chelsea DIY on a beautiful mess to help you make some i will post a friendship bracelet diy tomorrow afternoon.

my summer must haves

 i am loving anything turquoise.  necklaces, rings, bracelets oh my!  Its the perfect accent to any outfit because of its ocean blue color. it has a punch of color with out being overwhelming. i'm sure i will be wearing more of this color this summer for sure.

rain came and went so we took a walk

this last week we had our fair shares of rain storms and tornado watches. this is strange because where i live we haven't had a tornado anything during my life time though most of the week was rainy there was a very nice day and we took advantage of it. my family and i took a hike and mid way though i realized I'm so out of shape. but it was nice we stopped every so often to take a picture or two.

hope you guys have a lovely weekend
