So, after a grueling 22 hours of traveling, I'm finally back from Italy! (Well, I actually got back last night - as much as I love blogging, sleep came first.) It was a wonderful trip, but because we were out exploring all the time, it wasn't the most relaxing of vacations. As I get my pictures off my camera, I'll post a few here.

I didn't get as much reading done over the past few weeks as I expected. Part of it was because I was so exhausted the whole time that when I got some time to relax, all I wanted to do was either stare out of a window or nap! Here is the list of books I managed to finish:

A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'Engle (****)
A Wind in the Door - Madeleine L'Engle (*** 1/2)
The Second Summer of the Sisterhood - Ann Brashares (****)
Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer (*** 1/2)
Moon Shot - Deke Slayton and Alan Shepard (*****)
Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir - Bryan Burrough (**** 1/2)
Beach Girls - Luanne Rice (*** 1/2)

EDIT: Whoops, I forgot that I read The Last Oracle by James Rollins! (*** 1/2 - it was good, but just a little too weird for my tastes).

So not too bad! I have a TON of reviewing to catch up on, so keep an eye out for all the new posts to come! It's good to be back!
