the more you read, the more things you will know. the more that you learn, the more places you'll go - dr seuss

This past week has been exactly what I wanted it to be - I spent it reading tons of books, cooking up all the amazing produce I bought at farmer's market this weekend (recipes for a yummy way to use your sweet corn HERE), and listening to Darrell become more & more attached to this guitar - a sound I love much more than hearing his xBox turn on!

I'm getting to know the local librarian much better now, since I become quite the reading fanatic in the summertime. I have an iPad, which I could buy books on, but they certainly aren't free on the Kindle & iBooks stores, so for now the library suits me just fine. Plus, free books equals more $ for nights out. One of the perks of living in a city is that the library network can find you just about any book you want, and although I love the convenience of having access to my book always, through my iPad, iPhone, whatever, there is nothing quite like a library book.

My current recommendations would be "History of Love" by Nicole Krauss - so beautifully written and heartbreaking. Afterwards I read "Water for Elephants" in just a day. It was quite addictive and also very beautiful, but definitely more of a summer "beach read."
