Book Test

April 28, 2011 by Julie 83 Comments

After work this evening, I swung by Barnes & Nobel to browse their book selection in hopes of finding some reading material for our upcoming trip to Europe.

barnes and nobel 009

While there, I pulled up a past blog post on my phone and browsed through the comments section where you guys mentioned the most recent amazing books you’ve read.

Using your advice as my guide, I selected this lil’ baby:

the help 001

I have a little test when it comes to picking out books. I read the first page. If I want to keep reading and feel like the writer has a great voice, I decide it’s a keeper. Of course this is not a foolproof method, but it’s a random little thing I always do when picking out reading material.

The Help passed the test and will be making the journey to Europe with me.

Dinner

After browsing around Barnes & Noble for a bit (I could easily spend hours there), I came home ready for dinner! Ryan had plans to meet up with a buddy at Panera tonight, so I was all on my own.

I wanted something tasty and easy and breakfast for dinner matches both of those requirements.

Breakfast for Dinner

Dippy eggs + veggie bacon +toasted English muffin

Dip!

Don’t mind if I do!

Strawberry banana Greek yogurt and a billion Swedish Fish were also consumed.

P.S. The Fashion page was updated for the third time this evening. I’m on a roll, baby!

P.P.S. I almost titled this blog post “The Little Blog Post That Could” because my computer decided to crap the bed and stop working a billion times as I was typing it up. After breaking my laptop over my knee and letting Sadie pee on it while I located some lighter fluid to subsequently set it on fire, I used Ryan’s computer to finally get this post up. Phew! The trials and tribulations of blogging…

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    I also need to read that book. It’s been on my list for awhile, but I started the Outlander series. May have been a mistake cause it’s taking me too long to finish them all!

    i’ve been wanting to read that book for a while, but on our budget buying books is getting pricey! i’ve thought about getting a kindle, even though i hate the thought of not buying an actual book, but can’t decide which route to go with. kind of random, but all that to say i can’t wait to hear what you think about The Help!

    I was unsure at first, but The Help is a great book. It was more intriguing to me because they filmed scenes near our church, in our neighborhood (Belhaven) and I have a friend who is an extra in the movie!

    I loved that book and cried when I finished it because I got so connected with the characters! That’s a book that I will for sure read again in years to come! Enjoy.

    You’ll love The Help — but it goes fast, so I think you’ll need a few more options for your long flights!

    I am also having computer problems, so thanks for the visual of taking your frustrations out on yours. One day I will do the same!

    The Help?! Lovelovelove it. Hopefully it lasts you a while. I managed to read it slowly enough to keep my entire vacation.
    I’ve been stalking all over your blog, I really enjoy it.
