Book Catch Up

Finally back from vacation and didn't get a whole lot of reading done, but that's okay.  It never fails that I bring so many books with me because of my irrational fear of running out of things to read- even with my new Kindle.  I could have got a little more reading done if I wasn't filled with nervous, anxiety about 75% of the time.  I was nervous that the car wouldn't make it.  I was anxious about what we were doing on the missions trip.  I was nervous about seeing my family after such a long time.  I was anxious about how they would act.  I was big bundle of stress most of the time.  Don't get me wrong though, I had a great time and I didn't have to cook.  I don't think I was ever hungry the entire trip- a big plus in my books.  You can see my post about my trip on my other blog.  But reading challenge took a bit of a hit so we will see where it puts me. 

Recently finished:

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter.  This was for the prompt "an espionage thriller".  I knew I wasn't going to be able to do a serious espionage thriller so this YA book was a pretty good compromise.  I liked it but it wasn't anything super special.  I liked the idea for sure- spy girls, spy school- fun times.   

I LOVED THIS BOOK.  I love Jim Gaffigan.  It made me watch all his stand up on Netflix.  This book is probably 2/3rds his comedy so not much new- but that definitely didn't matter to me.  It really lightened up my vacation and it would have made me hungry if I wasn't so strained during my time away from home.  "It's all McDonald's of the soul."   

So yeah- only two books.  I spent much of my day yesterday trying to figure out how to catch up.
