So a month late - but who cares, here is January's view - taken on the 29th Jan, raining for a change!!
Taken this morning after the first hail storm, think that is as white as we are going to see it this year!
I haven't taken my other view yet, so will post that during the week.
Nothing to do with challenges but Nathalie did a layout of all the books she had read in 2012. I really like the layout and the idea of it, but it made me realise that I don't read any more, I always use the excuse that if I start then the world has to stop whilst I sink deeper and deeper into the story til I get to the end then life can resume normality!! My amazing lack of self discipline does not allow me to put the book down literally!!! Anyway I decided that I really do need to start again having encouraged the girls to read lots and being nicknamed 'bookworm' by my brother as a teenager, and also because I actually enjoy it and miss it. So I searched through the girls books and picked this one out. I have read a number of Sophie Kinsella's before and enjoy the lightheartedness of them. It wasn't bad, not the best of her's I have read, times alittle boring and a very predictable ending, but a happy read. Now to chose my next one.
We had a little more white than you today, full blizzard and a couple of inches of snow! I tend to read Sophie Kinsella when I don't want to have to think! I read in bed but don't read the way I used to either. Can't remember the last time I had a book so good I couldn't put it down.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your book, i love to read and its a good book you have there :)
ReplyDeleteGreat view, is it a farm opposite? We had big flakes of snow this afternoon but luckily it didnt settle for long.
Hi Helen, no it is the local primary school opposite where I use to work, they cut down all the trees last year so now we can see it :( but it is only the car park so not so bad. x
DeleteI like your 'new' view and look forward to the changes in weather, trees and car etc during the year!
ReplyDeleteWell done on starting to read again xx no snow here!
Wow a hail storm! That could ruin all your plants and flowers growing outside. I agree about this book - I read it some time ago as well as all the other books by the same author I could get. I could take photos of every book I read and then do layouts - I think it is a brilliant idea (I read about 80 books last year).
ReplyDelete80 books, wow, I was hoping for 12 this year lol.x
DeleteSince I have been recording my reading on scrapbook pages for the past three years, I have found that 12/13 was about my max for the year too :)
DeleteI like how two days can vary so much, though not in the summer eh!
ReplyDeleteI also like Sophie Kinsella's style of writing, although at the moment I am hooked on Sudoku and can't settle to a book.
ReplyDeleteI love sudoku as well :D
DeleteI love your view, Karen. It certainly is going to change !
ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting view from your kitchen window. Wish I could say the same but mine basically faces the outside of our shed. I like your pictures.
ReplyDeleteKind regards from Jen. She doesn't feel too good but will be back on her feet soon ! xxx
ReplyDeleteJen says hi, but she is poorly so will get to everyone's views when she is up and about! awhhh x
ReplyDeleteooh I like this view. Nice to see a little of what you see every day!
ReplyDeleteI love to read too - but everyone ends up with burnt dinners as i struggle to put a book down once i've started it x
Hello, I must apologise at being so late to comment and thank you so much for joining in my challenge. I really felt quite awful and couldn't really think straight.
ReplyDeleteI love the view, it must be great looking out at that whilst in the kitchen :)
I have also started going back to reading proper books, Pratchett, JoJo Moyes and the new Jo Rowling so far, so I am pleased with that. Good Luck xxx
Your view looks exotic to me it is so different from what we have here! I am going to check out this new Lucky Snapping series you talked about and I am glad I had a little something to do with you getting back into reading! It is such a pleasurable activity! :)
