{207} author' name

i am pretty certain that i would read any book if the author was named lauren. lol but, at least this was a really good read--"the devil wears prada" was written by a lauren! lauren weisberger. i loved this book and loved the movie. however, the book differs a lot from the movie but i enjoy each on their own. same as "confessions of a shopaholic". i have every book in the series and love everything that sophie kinsella writes but the movie was soooo different than the book. but still enjoyable. anyhoo, here's a cop-out name for today. :)

more sherlock! i just can't help myself. :)

{127} key and (sher)lock

i've been doing a lot of reading abot sherlock holmes. actually, "a lot" would be an understatement. it's all i do, it seems. cara (who totally rocks because i tag her in my posts all the time) gave me the complete works of sherlock holmes and i can't put it down. in the one week since she gave it to me, i've read two complete novels and am half-way through one of the short-story books. it is so good.

so, while reading outside i felt compelled to do a name with sherlock in mind. i tried for awhile to do something cool with a pipe or something sherlock-ian but finally i settled on a key (which unlocks things) and put his name and address on it. more sherlock posts to come!

{17} books on a "shelf"

i'm sure i'll use books again at some point but i loved this idea. i at first tried to line up the books like this on  my actual book shelf but it proved to be much too much too small so i had to create a "shelf" on the floor. actually i had to do it twice. at first i got all the way up to "laure" and then i ran out of wall space for the "n" so i had to move everything to a new wall! and then george went up to the books to sniff them and i panicked that my precariously placed "a" and "r" books would topple over! fortunately, they stayed in place.

i know that some of these authors are going to roll in their graves (so to speak, because some of them are still alive) because i placed them next to books that they do not want to be associated with but...whatev. these are the books i have read and the ones displayed on my shelves.

they are: apollo 13, harry potter and the half blood prince, the bourne identity, shopaholic & baby, shopaholic & sister, the wizard of oz, sisterhood everlasting, seinlanguage, committed, mini-shopaholic (sense a theme?), wicked, confessions of an ugly stepsister, slammerkin, the girl and the dragon tatoo, eats shoots and leaves, persuasion, the night circus, bossypants, everyone worth knowing, to kill a mockingbird, irma voth, goin' deep, fever pitch and dispatches from the edge.

(i've decided to try to include a picture of myself as often as i can along with my name. either creating it or with the medium used.)
