Summer Is

...pancakes for breakfast. Real pancakes. Not these.

(speaking of which, I still cringe every time I eat a banana thanks to that experience)

...the things you never get too old for. Like blasting the radio, dressing up, and 

having a dance party while you're home alone. Which totally happened.

...sleeping in late. check.

(that sticker on the clock? Ei klokke. That's from back when I was teaching myself 

Norwegian. I don't remember any)

...Psych marathons. I've discovered that I laugh much harder and louder when I'm

watching them by myself. 

...BOOKS. Oh, how I have missed the books! 

Summer means I finally have time to READ. And that's pretty much the best part.

Also, this song:

It's kinda the opposite of what this post is about, but I'm obsessed with it. And Sara Bareilles in general.

Treasure Hunting

This morning, I went to a pretty amazing used bookstore. I lovelovelove used bookstores, and used books in general. As long as they're not falling apart, I'll take a used book over a new one any day. It's a special treat for me if I buy a used book and find that it was annotated by the previous owner. I like knowing what they thought or found important. It's kind of like making a new friend, without having to actually do anything out of my comfort zone!

Today I picked up 5 books:

Hard Times and David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

The Collected Sonnets of Edna St. Vincent Millay

Emily's Quest by L.M. Montgomery {the third in a trilogy that I haven't actually read, but come on-it's L.M. Montgomery!}

A Double Life by Louisa May Alcott {apparently she wrote thrillers before Little Women}

An amazing Thursday to you all!

Edification

When was the last time you read Romans, chapter 8? Apparently it's been way too long since I have. I read it last night.....and, wow. Since I started reading the New Testament, no chapter has hit me so hard.

//1//2//3//4//5//

Those are some of my favorite verses. They're so uplifting and comforting! I'll definitely be coming back to this chapter often.

Have a lovely Tuesday!
