Desperately Seeking Bookworm

I can't believe I finally got my hands on this book! I put it on hold at the libby (library) in early March, and as of the late July I was still #386 in line. Thank the Lord for someone named Paula (also the name of the author) for donating a copy to my local library! I've heard almost nothing but good things about this book and it sat on my to read shelf for too long! As I was finishing up another book and I would often glance at it longingly, that's how bad I needed to read this book! For those of you who don't know The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins is about... Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then...

Ahh August is almost over! This is my least favorite month, because it always feels 10x longer and its wayyyyy too hot! I'm a little late with my post because I worked the Pokemon World Championships and unable to try products immediately, so here we go! BTW I loved the design of the box this month, so cute with the little 3D pool! I've now stored hair-ties, clips, and headbands in it and put it on display in my bathroom cabinet. Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer- Full Size $20 Packed with antioxidants and humectants, this rich cream hydrates and revitalizes dry or dull skin. I tried this for the first time on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't want another moisturizer to add to my overgrown collection, but this turned out well. When I read the description I thought it might be a cheaper (but still expensive) option to the Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, which I love, but I didn't find it to be. The scent is strong, but you can...

Jane Green and her Chick Lit is my Kryptonite. As my BFF said "Just stop reading her!" I thought of course that's the obvious solution! Sadly though I am addicted to these books and I don't know how to quit them. Every time I finish one of her books I kinda feel like I just had a fling that I know wasn't good for me emotionally, but I did it anyways. This is actually my second JG book this year, I read Saving Grace in March and I'll be honest I didn't like it. As always with JG we have a flawed main character, Cat's major flaw is that she is an alcoholic, and a rather bad one at that. I'll admit that I wanted to give up on this book around page 70. I really just had enough with all of the women JG writes about. They're either depressed from pretending to be too perfect or have too many secrets that are poisoning them. It's a running theme in her books and maybe its my fault for always getting sucked in, but it did irk me a bit in the be...
