So....back to the matters at hand....reading.
One of the books I tried to download the other day at Barnes and Noble was This Time Together by Carol Burnett. Some of you are too young to even remember her variety show, but for those of the older crowd, you probably remember her tugs on her ear at the end, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway, and the skits with Vicki Lawrence. My reading habits have changed lately, and I am exploring more of the non-fiction books, including biographies and autobiographies. I am excited to start on this one, but as I said, I "tried" to download it. Our credit card number changed due to our bank switching carriers. My account is tied to the old number, so the charge was denied since that number no longer exists for us. Changing the number was easy; getting the Nook people to realize that has been hard. I have selecting so many numbers and talked to no one that I finally gave up. Maybe I will try again today!
I am still trying to get past the first few pages of The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I have heard nothing but good reviews for this novel, so I am anxious to really get into it. Unfortunately people (like my husband, our daughters, and our grandson) have interrupted me (not that I am complaining, of course).
Now that the semester is officially over (after graduation) and I officially have some 'time off' I plan to migrate to the sunroom and just read. I'll keep you posted on the progress!
What are you reading this summer? Share! I am always looking for new titles.
I am not sure about this coming summer but last summer I read a story The Fault in Our Stars. I am not that much into straight up romance books but after I read it, I really liked it. A quick synopsis is that it's about a girl named Hazel who is living with cancer and she meets a boy named Augustus Waters at a cancer support group and they both grow close. Have not seen the movie yet but I want to see if it is accurate to the book.
