My Favorite Author

I don't read as often as I should or want to. This is what most people will tell you. I am one of those people. Sometimes, while I am reading, I can't read fast enough to get through the story. I try to read faster because I love the story and I want to know what is going to happen. Moral of this story is when I do read, I love to read.

My most favorite author to read is Elin Hilderbrand. 

I like her books because they are easy summer reads. 

I have read three of her books and I want to read more. 

Barefoot was my first read of hers. I will not give anything away, but it is exactly what the book says. "Three women. Three secrets. One long hot summer." 


The Beach Club I totally related to because my parents own a small mom and pop resort in Northern Michigan and I could understand the opening of different buildings. Other than that a very good read. 



A Summer Affair is another good read, like they all are. This book sort of made me mad during parts of it because of certain characters behavior but it was over all a good book. 


I highly recommend reading her books. Her books are summer romance books. If you are not into those books then don't read them, but I HIGHLY recommend you giving them a shot. I plan on ordering a few of them to read throughout this summer.  

Let me know if you have ever read any of her books. Do you recommend one of hers? What about another author?


Here is her website to view all her books and to learn more. 

One Step Forward, a GIANT Push Back

Sometimes I just want to scream at the top of my lungs. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME? I don't get it. I finally have some big news and you proceed to tare me down like a piece of unwanted paper.

So rewinding, I got big news. I received a phone call yesterday about someone wanting to interview me! Awesome, right? That's not the best news either. I've already had one interview and now this one and I have a pending interview! If getting a job is hard, getting an interview must be easy. I don't know. I have to look on the bright side, because at least they are interested in interviewing me right? One step at a time!

You know how when you get really good news there is one person that comes to mind that you want to tell? Well yeah that happened to me. I called them and told them and their response? "Oh good for you." After that, things went down hill. I apparently, after getting this interview at a second job, wasn't taking everything into consideration. Well, excuse me for making a pros and cons list of each of the jobs and trying to think of not just how much I am going to be making, but which one I will learn from the most. Let's just say, that it didn't sound like they were happy for me at all.

I know making money is a good thing, but it shouldn't be number one. Not to say that it shouldn't be a big pull, but there are other things to consider. Plus this is a summer job, I'm not going to be making millions. I figure I have one year left to have a "fun" summer job. Anyone of these jobs, if I get an offer that is, could be amazing and an awesome experience.

I don't understand why, when someone comes to you with good news we can't just congratulate them and be happy. Don't just turn the tables and go all crazy on them.

All I want right now is for you to be happy for me.

Thanks for letting me rant, but now that I am riled up work should be fun.
