Summer Reads, HP and Downtown Activity..

My Bucket List check offs have had a slow start however, the other day during a date night with K we strolled into Chapters between dinner and the movie. K was looking for Game of Thrones or something, and I was just looking.

On my Bucket List I've decided I want to read three NEW books this summer. The reason I emphasize NEW is because I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter series... let's just say I've already read it a few times, especially the last book. But there's a very good reason for the re-read! I promise. K is the best and he got my the Adult Collector's Edition set of HP books for Christmas and I just feel it's an injustice to have not cracked the seal on the beauties at least once!

Now my dilemma is whether I will finish my current book (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the 5th and largest book of the series at 766 pages) and continue on to complete the series before moving on my my goal of three OTHER books this summer or will I take a little hiatus?

Well either way, and back to paragraph one, at Chapters the other day I purchased my potential new reads for the summer. And Friday morning over my coffee I was trying to figure out which book would be my next/first read!

Here is what I picked up:

1. Fifty Shades of Grey - E. L. James

      When I went to the cash with this the male cashier commented "Joining the revolution, eh?" And I said, "Figured I gotta see what it's all about!" What do I expect? An easy read, and something a little sassy. Dare I say, "classy" romance novel? Probably shouldn't. But I like sassy so I'm going to go for it.

2. My Horizontal Life - Chelsea Handler

      Do I realize this makes two sexuality bases summer reads? Yes. But Chelsea Handler is absolutely hilarious and I quickly read the first chapter in the book store and wanted to read more so there we go!

3. The Weird Sisters - Eleanor Brown

      I'm really excited for this one. I've gotten into many conversations with people about the roles we play with our siblings and how potentially birth order can contribute to our personalities and that's what this book is all about. It's three sisters temporarily moving back home when their mother gets sick, all with individual recent failures. I'm super intrigued. I've got three sisters and a brother. I grew up in the same house as two of my sisters and a brother and we're seperated by 10 years. One sister 5 years older, one sister 5 years younger. It's a very interesting dynamic to say the least! We're all so similar and so different in SO many ways, so I think with this read I'll be finding a lot of us in it!


So I think I will jump into some NEW books once I'm done HP and the O of the P.

To leave you with a treat:

These beauts were strolling down main street today, along with many other costumed crusaders! There was an Anime-con at the Delta Beausejour!

It was a treat for me. Now it's a treat for you.

P.S. They would not speak, but they would silently bicker and playfully fight with each other?! Funny.
