I love this meme, it inspires me to be a bit more organized than usual!
Happy Monday everyone! Did you have a marvelous week? Did you read some great books? I hope so!
It was my 39th birthday on Saturday the 23rd. Yay me!

I also visited my tattoo artist this weekend. We’re working on a very bookish design. I’m extremely excited about it! Stay tuned for more.
Reviews:
Read:
The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell (Recommended to me by my 14 year old son)
Currently Reading:
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith A beautiful book that I haven’t read in many years.
Upcoming:
The same books that I listed as upcoming last week. I have a few others waiting for me at the library as well. (Including Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore and The Devil in the White City)
Bloggish Business:
The Classic Club picked a spin number. I’ll be reading Dangerous Liaisons by Pierre Choderlos De Laclos. I’m very happy with that selection and I’m looking forward to diving into the book.
Happy reading!
Oh, and here’s a bit of Ryan Gosling to put a smile on your face. It always works for me!

The Devil in the White City is one of my Off The Shelf reading goals for this year. And since I'm from the city of the white city I probably should have read it already like everyone else in Chicago!

I see \”A Tree Grows in Brooklyn\” in bookstores and always remember an afternoon I shared with a friend several years ago. We talked about books, our pending divorces, and good food. She highly recommended the book, along with \”Eat, Pray, Love.\” I bought Gilbert's but still have yet to get \”A Tree…\” I think it's about time! : )
