This weekend was super low-key. In fact, the only thing I did was eat & read. On Friday night, I met Katie & Alexis for a lady dinner date at Bella Napoli in Edgehill Villa. It was my first time there & I really liked it. Alexis & I shared the Calzone pizza & ohmygod, it was AMAZING!
On Saturday, I went to Book Swap & left with a gazillion books (not really, see above). I keep swearing I'm not going to keep taking books because I already have so many at home to read, but I can't resist.
Here's what I took, from top to bottom:
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichi
Promises to Keep by Jane Green
The Dive From Clausen's Pier by Ann Packer
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Lost Symbols by Dan Brown
If you follow me on the twitter, you saw that I started reading Outlander. I'm pretty into it. I read it most of the day on Sunday. I'm a little over a hundred pages in. I just started Part Two. Even though it's 850 pages long (!!!), I'm hoping to finish it this week so that I can get cracking on this new stack of books I'm hoping to read this month. Oy....

Yay Ruth Reichl! I LOVED all three of her books, totally inhaled them.
But don't get too excited about reading anything but Gabaldon for the rest of your existence. You know there are like eight books in that series!
Yeah, everyone RAVED about the Ruth Reichi book, so I snatched it up. It's next on my list after Outlander, which, speaking of, ohmyGOD!!! Outlander is blowing my mind! I can't believe I'm this into a book about time travel & soft core porn, but I totally am, haha.
I'm holding you responsible since out of the easily 100 people that told me to read it, you were the first. I need to just start reading what you tell me, instead of randomly stumbling across books, then remembering that you told me to read them years ago, haha.
I am so happy to hear you like Outlander! It's so hyped that it lets some people down. I love the whole series. They do get considerably less racy, which depending on your taste may be good or bad. :)
Oooh, duly noted! I'll definitely report back. Thanks, Libby!
