this is a true blog about a girl who loves books and the books that love her back. (okay, maybe they don't love me back but you get the point.)
1. Comfort

Sorry it has taken me longer than usual to get back to the blog. Life has handed me a big pile of lemons that I'm trying to deal with. Actually I'm not sure if life handed me the lemons or if I gave myself the lemons, but nevertheless there are lemons everywhere. The only thing I know to do of course is to add some Vodka and make a kick-ass lemonade. I have to believe that if you live in truth the universe will take care of you. It might not be easy but it will work out in the end.

Of course when you are buried neck high in lemons that is always when you seem to remember or notice those little things that make you happy. Last night someone made me mashed potatoes. Total comfort food. I had forgotten how yummy buttery mashed potatoes are. I also went to the library yesterday. We all know how much of a sanctuary the library is for me. Maybe it is the quiet and the order and the thrill of thousands of books waiting to be read. Good people are also a comfort. For instance yesterday at the library I went to the information desk to ask a question. The librarian pointed me in the right direction and then later came and found me to give me some additional information. Maybe he just did it because he is a great librarian or maybe he did it cause I was a snotty, mascara running hot mess. Either way it brought me comfort. 

My life is going to be a bit crazy for awhile so forgive me if I don't post as often. I'm going to try really hard to be diligent. I'm also reading a lot slower now so the reviews may not make it out like I want them to. So to tied you over here is what is on my TBR shelf. We all know that having a stack of books by the nightstand is the ultimate comfort.

I can't wait to get back on my regular reading schedule. Send me happy, peaceful vibes folks!!! Until next time.
