Summer Reading

Although I enjoy reading very much, I find that summertime isn't when I'm the most productive with my reading. I read more in the winter months when I can curl up with a blanket or take a nice bubble bath and enjoy a good book, but I was bound and determined to read one particular book this summer, The Help.


I started it while on vacation last week and quickly found that I couldn't put it down. It was captivating from the start and I didn't want it to end. If you're looking for a good book to finish up your summer reading, I highly recommend The Help. You'll love it.

Ahhh, A Good Book And A Bath

I finished reading a really good book last night. While I do love to read anytime, I tend to read more in the winter months. When the cold weather sets in, nothing is better to me than relaxing in a hot tub with a good book. I started a new book Thursday night and finished it last night, in the tub! I love bubble baths anyways but since braking my ankle Thanksgiving weekend, I've gotten in the habit of taking baths. I'd say my ankle is 90% healed and I could stand in the shower easily but I still take a bath. Besides it being relaxing, I find my foot feels better after a good soak. Kinda like my own hydrotherapy, but with or without a broken ankle, many nights I do reward myself with a nice long bubble bath after a long day.

Ok, now that I just read what I wrote, I know what you're thinking...TOO MUCH INFORMATION! I should just tell you about the book!

My daughter asked me to pick up a book for her from Costco when she was home on Christmas break, a book called "Have A Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. She started reading it when she was home but accidentally left it here when she went back to school. I saw it in her bathroom (she reads in the tub too!) so I picked it up and started reading it. It was a quick read and I found it to be uplifting and inspiring. It's a true story, Mitch's story, about being asked by his Rabbi to write and give the eulogy at the Rabbi's funeral when he dies. The author, who incidentally had pretty much turned away from religion, can't figure out why the Rabbi asks this of him. Why him?

It's a book about religion, relationships, faith, and hope. I think you'll enjoy it. By the way, this book is by the same author who wrote "Tuesdays with Morrie" a few years ago. I think that will be my next read.
