#7 – the hunger games

Written by: Suzanne Collins
Recommended by: Kelly
It took me three days to read The Hunger Games, but that was only because, initially, I was reading it and Sex God and had just started Evermore. I couldn’t figure out where to focus.
Of course, that changed by the time I hit, oh, Chapter 2 of The Hunger Games.
Seriously? [...]

#6 – rumors

Written by: Anna Godbersen
Recommended by: Kelly
I’m still reading very sporadically, which is why it took me a week to read a book that would’ve otherwise been consumed in, at most, two days.
Rumors is the second in the Luxe book series. I really enjoyed it. I totally didn’t see two of the plot twists coming, especially [...]

#5 – the luxe

Written by: Anna Godbersen
Recommended by: Kelly
I just have to take a moment to thank Kelly for recommending this series, because, as I mentioned in my post on Friday, I have hit a reading drought. At least a “serious book” reading drought. I had a feeling this would happen since the majority of what I plan [...]

twenty pounds of crazy in a five-pound bag

I mean, I *love* Leverage.

I remembered the previews leading up to its premiere this past fall and I figured I’d check it out sooner or later. I’ve now, thanks to reruns, seen all but the final two episodes of [...]

if God can do anything, then why doesn’t He?

I originally uploaded the two-minute preview of “Open,” and just now I was feeling restless and unsettled and just couldn’t sleep, and so I ended up back on YouTube and I found the full version.
About midway through, when Rob says, “…you always run the risk that [it] won’t turn out how you wanted it to. [...]

lump

This never fails to make me feel something, and it is always something I need to hear, and no matter how many times I watch this, it still makes me get a lump in my throat and my chest feel really tight until I just let myself cry.
Anyway. It’s 10 minutes long, but it is [...]

only connect

God: You know, I like what’s written at the beginning here. Would you read it for me?
Joan: ‘Only connect.’ You hurt me. Really bad. Why should I trust you again?
God: Why did you ever?
Joan: Look, we had some good times. And I’m fine with you being, you know, the divine ‘it.’ But I don’t want [...]
