I Hear The Bells.

Here is a peek at a portion of my suggested reading list for the summer. I set to work as soon as I got the list, asking which books people recommended and deciding which I thought might interest me the most. I'm supposed to choose three books of my choice from the list to read. It's also suggested that I read Hamlet and Jane Eyre over the summer, we're reading them in school, but it is recommended to lighten the work load. This is the first time I've ever had an official summer reading list and I'm determined not to get bogged down at the end of the summer.


I decided it would be best to get my three books of my choosing from the library so that I'm not dropping too much money. The ones I chose were The Great Gatsby, 1984, and One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest. I'm still waiting for the latter to come in, but the other two are sitting on my side table just waiting to be cracked open. Today I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a copy of Jane Eyre. I had to order Hamlet because I needed a certain edition that the book store didn't have. I also picked up Tori Spelling's new book, Uncharted terriTORI. I decided I'll need something to read when I'm taking a break from all the school reading, and you know I'm a huge Beverly Hills 90210 fan. I read both of Tori's previous books, so I'm excited to get to this one. And if I'm being perfectly honest, I'll probably end up reading it before any of the others!

I also got an issue of Australian Vogue. I don't buy foreign fashion magazines very often because of the price, but I think occasionally they're a great treat. I thought the cover was really gorgeous and it seemed like the perfect choice. I haven't read this yet either, but I'm planning to read it before bed tonight.


While I was out to go to the bookstore, I noticed a beauty store nearby. Of course I had to peek in, and there were some OPI polishes that were 30% off and a few Essie polishes that were 50% off. I looked through all the OPI ones first as I usually like them the best, but the colors weren't shades I was crazy enough. I ended up deciding that Essie's Funships was my favorite, and it ended up only being $4.00. That is less than most drugstore nail polishes. Anyway, I wanted to take a photo of the polish for you, but my camera is weird about taking picture so nail polish. (Suggestions?) So this is the best I could do. There are my fingers peeking into the photo. I'm wearing OPI's Melon Of Troy. I usually paint my own nails but my mom was off of work today and wanted us to get our nails done, so it was the perfect opportunity to test out a color that I don't own. I think I might want to buy this one soon!

What is on your summer reading list? Any good guilty pleasure books? And what nail polish are you wearing/would you like to be wearing?

PS: I got third place in a Beverly Hills 90210 trivia, and my blog is being plugged in a post on the website of the person who held the trivia game. So, thanks to any new traffic from that! I hope you'll stick around, and if you're only interest in teen soap stuff, there are plenty of posts relating to or about Beverly Hills 90210, Gossip Girl, and One Tree Hill. (Especially Beverly Hills 90210.) Just type the teen drama names into the search bar at the top left of the page!
