I got to work from home this week, and aside from some work hiccups, it was really nice getting to sleep in a little later and being surrounded by family and hanging with friends. Also, internship is almost over! Coming into the home stretch right now. Couldn’t be more excited at the thought of getting to finally settle at home for a month. Commuting almost two hours is such a pain. (Yet, the work and experience is well worth it.)
Far as reading goes this week, I finished the last of Beauty Queens by Libba Bray and am about to begin Red Glove by Holly Black. I also bought Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson. So, basically, I’ve very excited about my upcoming reads!
…Oh! And my blog birthday is less than three weeks away and I’ve got nothing planned! Time really did fly away from me. TGR will be two. TWO! My little site is almost a toddler! …Anyway, have any ideas for a birthday bonanza?

Ooh, Red Glove! I really want to start that soon too, I loved White Cat. And I’ve heard lots of good things about Tiger Lily! Hope you enjoy it. And thanks for mentioning my contemp post! :)
I’m hoping Red Glove is just as good!
And you’re welcome. :)
Hey Alissa, use tags. That will help you with SEO (more hits to your blog). *cheese*
That said, commuting 2 hours one way? That sounds brutal but unfortunately a familiar plight. I shall be doing that every day for the next year or so. :\ However, since you are enjoying the experience, it makes the whole thing worth it, right? I do hope you enjoy Tiger Lily as much as I did.
:O Thank you.
Yea, it’s pretty unfortunate, but could be worse. It’s more of an annoyance than anything. Good luck doing that for a year, though! I imagine that would get very tiresome. Although you could try what many others do: use audiobooks to make the commute more tolerable.
WE’RE ALMOST THERE, ALISSA! We just have to hold on a little longer!
lol, like a very unpleasant roller coaster!
That is a very apt description. I hate roller coasters.
ME TOO.
