Summer Reading

Carter and I are (were) reading the same book this week. I needed a page turner for the gym because I have to do at least two other things while I'm on a cardio machine or I'll die of boredom. So, I snagged his new Randy Wayne White book Deep Shadow. Consistent with our personalities, he's on page 138, and I'm done. I even did an extra cardio machine yesterday because I couldn't put it down. I like to know how things are going to end, even when it's something as boilerplate and predictable as Disney's Lemonade Mouth, which I had to watch with Ainsley when she was home with a cold earlier this week. Yes, had to, all the way to the very painful end.

Anyway, if you need a page turner for the beach, pool, lazy summer days around the corner, start the Randy Wayne White Doc Ford series. (I think it starts with Sanibel Flats.) Yep, it's a Florida thriller. It's entertaining—and not always predictable. And do me a solid and send me some recommendations too. I need something to get me through the next several weeks of cardio machines before I get over my boredom of the aerobics room and return there.

Oh, speaking of reading, Hawthorne and Ainsley both get to go to their school's reading awards "Night at the Library" next Friday for getting a crazy number of reading points this year. I didn't think there was any way in hell either of them would make it, but goes to show what I know. They were determined—and successful. Yea, free babysitting!

Awww.Couldn't resist.
