What I’m Into :: May 2012

Before I got my smartphone, I never took photos with my phone. Since I couldn’t figure out how to get them from my phone to my computer (I lost the cord long ago), what was the point? Now, though, I’ve got Instagram – and I’m sad to say that much of my camera-phone-picture-taking is as pitiful as my Words with Friends scores.

I’m working on it, though – and today’s post will feature a few of my recent Instagram pics. I figure integrating the photos I take with my phone in my monthly What I’m Into post might motivate me to take better shots!

Anyway. So May is over. Thank goodness. It was a bad month at our house, and not one I want to relive or remember too clearly, if I’m honest. Instead I’ll just talk about the fun parts of the month here.

What I’m Reading: The beginning of summer means the beginning of our library’s summer reading program. We trade out a stack of books every couple weeks anyway, so all we have to add to our routine is recording them in the library’s website. After Annalyn listens to 24 books, she receives a free one to keep. Assuming I remember to record them. (Which may or may not be the reason she only got two free books last summer . . .)

I’ve started reading the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. The author borrows heavily from other series I’m familiar with, but I’ve enjoyed the series so far. If you like YA paranormal (yeah, I’m still hooked), you’d probably like these books. (If you haven’t already read them. Turns out they’re a few years old and I just had missed them somehow.)

Two of my friends released ebooks last week, and I am super excited about both of them! Dana from A Slob Comes Clean is offering a FREE ebook called Teach Your Kids to Clean. Who doesn’t need that?! And Leigh from Funky Faith Girl wrote Frayed: Holding Onto God’s Grace in a Marriage About to Snap. It’s just $4.99 at Amazon, and if you don’t have a Kindle, remember you can download the Kindle app for your laptop or phone for free!
