Little holiday!

so much grace over this little break < 3

i am very happy, healthy and whole these days. went out with friends i love, talked so much, ate fatty delicious food, movie, woke up early and read storybooks, stayed in bed all day and read even more storybooks, and run on solid earth 3 times in 5 days with dad and mom!! life is seriously good.

saw little brother brimming with excitement when he got his new storybooks... and then we went home and sat opposite each other in silence for hours and read like when we were kids.. priceless :)

i read 5 books, and i loved 4. good deal ;) Kisses from Katie taught me so much. one of the best book i have read this year, it was life changing. when so much negativeness is brewing around me, this read ignited many little hopes;  to be courageous for the people i love, and knowing that doing something worth doing demands warrior sized courage and lots of days shrouded in the scariest loneliness  :)

i read this in one sitting -- My Name is Mary Sutter. Mary, physician and surgeon during the civil war, first female surgeon. the books read like poem, sadness was so profound the people are so wretched and broken and sad and everything is so spoiled.. but in ended gracefully and i love the story so much. i love women story like that.

i read Unbroken... epic WWII true story, so well researched!...also one of the best book in 2011 :) olympic runner being enlisted and ... it was just.crazy.amazing. trust me!

and the last one -the school of essential ingredients. < 3 kept me up all night.

didnt like Julia child's My life in france! suprisingly

i got my fix and i am happy. :) reading is so addictive it's unbelievable. likewise with holidays
