May Book Review!
It's book review time!
For those of you that love to read, you're like...
And the rest of you are like...
But I love you all!
This month I read some really good ones. It's nice to finally be out of school and be able to read just for fun. I love to read the Bible, but some of those Seminary textbooks would have me on the pillow next to Peanut in the picture above!
Here's what I've read lately:
This is another one of those that is coming to theaters in 2016 that I wanted to read first. It was a slow start, but a sweet story. A girl named Louisa takes a badly needed job working for a guy named Will, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived an adventurous life, but no longer wants to live the way he is.
.
I loved this one! The story that started out is not the one that ended. The book developed that much! AJ lives alone above his bookstore when a very rare package is delivered that changed his life forever. A must read!
This is a quick and quirky chick-lit if you're looking for some light mindless summer reading. A novelist up and decides she wants to be a fashion designer even though she knows nothing about fashion except shopping.
I've always liked Kristin Cavallari from her Laguna Beach and The Hills days, so of course I wanted to read her book. It's more of a "coffee table read" as opposed to a biopic of her life. There's a lot of emphasis on health and whole foods and includes a lot of recipes. Kristin does share some anecdotes from her life and her time on reality television, but if you're expecting an in depth memoir, this is not it.
I was also first introduced to Kelly Cutrone on The Hills and The City and instantly related to her high intensity work ethic and the public relations industry. She's just one tough chic, and I really enjoyed reading this book, It's not for everyone, but for a career girl or #girlboss, you would definitely get a kick out of her stories!
And last but not least, I'm still working my way through the Pretty Little Liars series finishing both books 9 and 10 this month. They are always intriguing and addicting. Very little is like the show, so you truly don't know what's going to happen next!
What have you been reading this month? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

Friday Favorites - Dad is on TV, Mom goes to Prom, and a Giveaway!
What a busy but awesome week!
I'm so glad it's a three day weekend because I need it to recover!
This week we held our annual City of Hattiesburg "Senior Prom"!
The theme was the Roaring 20s!
And I of course was one of the characters...
Mom was less than impressed this year. This was her fourth (and most likely last prom) to attend.
Here she is at the Sock Hop 2 years ago... She was a hit!
She had a good time, yes, but it was just too much stimulation for her. Makes me sad.
I can't show pictures of my residents, but he LOVED the theme and had the best time with the "lady in red"...! I had to tell him it was me! I think that ruined it for him.
The group shot of all the entertainers.
Then we had the National Senior Health and Fitness Day Health Fair.
Just call me "Lady Lamar"!

And now for a fun update! Dad is going to be on TV... again! I will have to let you know when his episode will air on Farm Week and Southern Gardening, but here's a little behind the scenes look at what they will be featuring.

#onfarmweek
My Dad is known for his raised gardens and accessible gardening. He's quite a hit in Mississippi and has been featured in several publications and broadcasts, but this year he has expanded and the results speak for themselves. He usually yields over 500 lbs of tomatoes alone, and that's just one veggie!
Artis Ford, Managing Editor and Farm Week Co-Anchor, Dad, Dr. Gary Bachman, Host of Southern Gardening, and Jerry Good, President of Pine Belt Master Gardeners
I will be doing a full post on this soon, so stay tuned!
Dad has been featured on Farm Week and Southern Gardening many times before, so just for fun, I've included his first video just to show how far he's come!
(This is Dr. Gary Bachman, the same guy that's in the Hawaiian shirt in the photo with Dad above!)
