Books galore!

I found another award from Brandi!! Thanks so much, your blog is one of my favorites to read. <33

The Interesting Blog Award

Awarded by
Brandi
to Christine

I have exactly two more days left of school. I’ve been studying my butt off and sold all of my books back today and made a whopping $68.00! Considering I kept all of my Shakespeare’s and my study Bible, I did pretty well since there weren’t many books to return for once. This semester has been an absolute toughy considering all of the sick time and work load I’ve been handling, but I honestly feel like I’ve done a great job keeping up with everything and making sure to stay up to date.

As you know I’m an avid reader, and I’ve officially put a book to the site. Said book being Illiad by Homer. I needed a break from the classics and have decided to continue on my journey of the 28 Books challenge with something a little more fun. I just finished Shopaholic and Baby which was amazing, and I’m currently starting After You’d Gone which my friend Kelly gave me for my birthday. I cannot wait to start reading it. I have exactly 17 books not including a short story book and a teaching book I’ve been flipping through. With school out, it’s time to get cracking, wouldn’t you say? I’m ready to complete this challenge!

    You’re welcome, girlie! I love your blog :) I look forward to new posts and Flickr photos everyday ha ha!

    I love reading and I can’t wait to get back into it! You definitely made bank, because my books only came out to like $20.00.

    Have fun reading, girlie!

    Oh man, Moroccan food is SO good. They give you a FULL 5-course meal with lentil soup, a tomato and egg plant salad, bastilla (the BEST part–it’s like dessert, but it’s an appetizer!), your entree (usually something like lamb or chicken with couscous–SO good), and then a dessert and mint tea. I would REALLY suggest trying it some time if you ever get a chance!

    Two days until you’re done with finals and everything? That’s great! HELLOOOO summer!

    That’s a fairly interesting challenge. I know I have decided to read a lot of books this summer, but I am also attempting to do so in German. No children’s books, the real deal. I think I am ready :)

    Of course, if I choke, I can always join Oprah’s book club. At least that’s in a language I know I can understand!

    You are so extremely lucky to be ending school! I still have 5 exams in a month and then more school! :(
    Meg Cabot is one of my favorite writers, i loved Queen of Babble by her. I’m generally a person who loves to read so i read a lot of that girly stuff. Not too girly. Girly enough, but not too much :P

    The challenge is a great idea! I love reading, but I’m always too busy with school to get a chance. Good luck!
    I loved Shopaholic, and I’ll have to continue with the series.

    Dr. Phil made such an impression on Winfrey that she invited him to appear on her show. He accepted the invitation and was a resounding success. McGraw appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for several years before launching his own show, Dr. Phil, in 2002, which was created by Winfrey’s production company, Harpo Productions, in partnership with CBS Paramount, which produced the show. Winfrey’s ability to launch other successful talk shows such as Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and Rachael Ray has also been cited as examples of “The Oprah Effect”.
