What I'm reading...

I LOVE books!  One of my favorite things to do is curl up with a good book and read for hours.  But, I have a 5-year old and a 7-month old so reading time is a little harder to come by.  Having said that, Matched trilogy by Ally Condie has been so worth lost sleep and delayed housework!

If you liked the Hunger Games, you will definitely enjoy this series about a "dystopian" society.  They are the perfect quick, beach read.  What have you been reading?

So long, farewell Google Reader....

I have been using Google Reader to read my favorite blogs for years!  But, Google Reader will be retiring as of July 1.  I have migrated my reads over to Feedly and bloglovin'.  I plan to use both of them for a while to see which one I like the best.  They both have iPhone apps, which I love!
