Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

My second book of the summer (I was on a roll, for me, ha) - recommended by Aunty Alex. This started out really good but I began to pick holes in it about two-thirds through. It was a nice change of genre for me though, which I enjoyed. And I still chose reading this every night over the drizzle that's on TV in the evenings .... 

The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult

 

My first book of the summer - and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommended it to Grandma and she finished it 48 hours later!

The Westin at Kierland - July 2014

We squeezed in a one-night stay-cation at our local Westin before school started up again after the England trip. The pictures are from the resort's 'Flowrider' - the closest thing to real surfing that the desert has.
