Reading Wish List

Thursday, February 5, 2015

 Since I was little, I have loved reading. If I wasn't a science teacher, I  would be an English/Literature teacher (honest!). With that said, I can't always find the time to read. I think that's why I love book club at my school so much-- it forces me to read!

I know I need to find the time, and this semester, I plan on trying to read at least three books (in addition to my book club books).

The following are at the top of my reading wish list:

1. Gone Girl  by Gillian Flynn 

Gone Girl (Movie Tie-In Edition)

2. Still Alice by Lisa Genova

3. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

4. Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

5. First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen

            THE GOOD LIFE BLOG
                                                             Friday Favorites//Five on Friday

I am very excited to be linking up with some great bloggers today for my first Friday Favorites and Five on Friday!



{1} The book I am reading for book club, "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe," is an amazing book! I am part of a staff/teacher/student book club at my school, and it is one of my favorite clubs to participate in. Beyond the fact that I love reading, I love discussing books. What makes this club even more unique is the fact that teachers, staff members and students all have conversations with each other about the books. I love hearing what the students think about the books, and it is a great way to interact with students outside the classroom. The reason I love this book so much is that it really makes you think about what love really means. Does it just have to be physical? Is it just emotional? Is it mental? Can you resist love? Are there rules in love? Should there be? It is also a great coming of age story that I think many teenagers can relate to.



{2} One of my other favorites this week: my husband. He has been nothing but supportive while I try to figure out this whole blogging thing! While he might not admit it, I also think he has enjoyed reading my blog ;) especially when it comes to our story.



{3} Another one of my favorites this week: my sisters. Although our ages vary greatly, the bond that we have is incredible. We call ourselves the "Fab Five." Although we can drive each other crazy, we are there for each no matter the circumstance. I am so lucky to have them!



{4} For something fun (and to get my mind off of all of the snow), I have been preparing for our honeymoon to Disney World in April. I CANNOT WAIT!! We already booked our resort and planned all of our meals  (thanks to our great travel agent). All we have left to do is book our flight, and get our FastPasses and MagicBands all straightened out! One of the events I am most excited for? The Hoop-De-Doo Review. If you are planning a trip to Disney World, you have to check out this great dinner show! Every time I went to Disney with my family, we went to this show and had a blast! No matter what age you are, I promise you will love it!




{5} And just because I am looking forward to spring, I am pinning some amazing spring outfits! Easy, basic pieces that you can mix and match to make multiple outfits.
