]]> Comment on A Million Suns: Book Review {Giveaway – Books 1&2} by Carley L http://www.alotofloves.com/2012/02/a-million-suns-book-review-giveaway-books-12/comment-page-1/#comment-37367 Carley L Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:25:36 +0000 http://www.alotofloves.com/?p=7789#comment-37367 The last book I read was Mindy Kaling's "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)." I love her acting and writing on The Office and it was great to see her write with the same lightness and humour about her own life. I'm currently working my way through Tomoko Fuse's "Origami Quilts," which is a total feat for the mind. I really love origami and while there isn't much text in the book, there is a lot of staring and frowning at the complex units you create and piece together. When you figure it out, it's the most satisfying feeling ever to see your creation turn out like the illustrations in the book.

Then I had to take a break from George RR Martin so I'm reading "The Book of Spies". Um, it was A Song of Ice & Fire 4: A Feast for Crows.

Those big feet make for easy play. We recently stumbled upon the Rescue Heroes cartoon on TV which just made them THAT MUCH COOLER. We have definitely hit the stage where if it's on TV, it must be awesome. --Marilyn Too true. Those big feet make for easy play.

The very nice teenage boy next door who had up till then been my HERO MAN was suddenly making me burst into tears. Poor kid. I feel bad for him now. I think Brave Bunny will help. I think Em will get over it. I wish you strength for the meantime. When I was a kid I developed a sudden, irrational fear of mustaches.

Secondly, I LOVE vintage Fisher-rice toys. A few years ago I went crazy and bought up every set I could find at thrift stores and garage sales. I have the house, the airport, the tent trailer and my favourite... the A Frame cabin! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE them! First of all, that necklace pendant is too cool!
