I finally got to read Angie Sage’s latest book! And while it wasn’t as amazing as I’d have hoped, it was still fun to read, as all of her novels have been.

in Just Sara Tags: things i love thursday
Even though I’ve been sick this week (with some kind of flu bug?) and having nasty tooth pain, I’ve still managed to be rather productive, and that’s one thing I’m pretty darn grateful for! I’m also loving…
my new Spotify account, which is amazing! free movie channel trials on TV, which couldn’t come at a better time (Wood Sprite is watching a free new cartoon movie while I work)
air conditioning: I think everyone is incredibly grateful for that right now!
a fridge full of groceries
music class lined up for Wood Sprite in the fall
extra projects assigned from work (and getting them done quickly!)
high-rated articles & generally writing about food
getting more things paid up or off, and making deals for the ones we’re behind on
bags of fresh pears, mmmm
surprise iced coffees from my fave aunt
a lovely, lovely, lovely date day, courtesy of my mom & sister
seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 during said date day
catching up on a little sleep
Neil Gaiman’s M is for Magic
Angie Sage’s Septimus Heap: Darke
Wood Sprite’s hilariousness, from potato songs to wanting to put sprinkles on everything
surprise ice cream adventures
The Glee Project–I didn’t like it much at first, and I’m still not really attached to it, but I do enjoy watching the performances
