Book Review : Gone Girl

One and a half days down, three and a half to go! Is anyone else ready for another weekend? This girl sure is. We have engagement pictures coming up on Saturday and I am so so SO excited! I can't wait to share them with you once we get them done :)   Today I'm going to share something I really enjoyed last week--a new book. I haven't really gotten into a book since reading the 50 Shades books. I just hadn't had the time or the interest to really find something new. A few weeks ago a friend suggested that I read Gone Girl.

Once I started reading I couldn't put it down! I loved it...when I shared the storyline with Ryan, even HE wanted to read it. I think that says a lot!   To quickly sum it up (I don't want to give too much away)... The book is based around two main characters, a husband and wife, Amy and Nick. Taking place in Missouri, Amy disappears on their 5 year wedding anniversary after an awkward homemade breakfast shared between the two. You soon find out that Nick isn't an amazing husband, and there has been strife between the two for quite some time. The reader gets a glimpse into their relationship via Amy's journal...it shows Amy as a perfectionist and Nick as a bitter jackass. You get to learn more about their relationship, and some really juicy details along the way of the investigation. Did Nick kill his wife, or is something even crazier happening?   This book will keep you hanging on from the beginning straight to the end!   Also, in case you need more proof that the book is awesome, Reese Witherspoon is on board to produce the movie adaptation of the book. How awesome is that? She's also set to star in the film, so I bet it turns into a great on screen version of the book. -------  What books have you read lately that were amazing? Spill the beans!

10 Day Challenge~5 Foods/4 Books

Hey there! I decided to skip yesterday's post because I was busy with some photo taking, some traveling and some family/friend time--so, I'm going to post my 5 Foods and 4 Books posts together today :)

5 Foods--My Favorites

1.) Mac and cheese! I love homemade, creamy, thick mac and cheese but I also love a good box of Velveeta shells and cheese too (which Ryan is making riiiight this second :)).

2.) Chicken and dumplings. Oh man, my aunt makes the most amazing chicken and dumplings and I can say mine aren't too far off!

3.) Anything that Ryan cooks is amazing...he's creative and loves to try new/different things that I probably wouldn't try.

4.) Ice cream/frozen yogurt. This should really be #1...I love it so much and could live on it alone. It's terrible how much I love sweets.

5.) Sushi. I crave it all of the time..it's so good and there are so many different kinds!

4 Books

1.) I'm currently reading The Help and I can't wait to finish so I can see the movie!

2.) The Hunger Games-I am excited about reading those books next. I hear that they're really good (even though I don't usually go for that type of book).

3.) Heaven, by V.C. Andrews-Although I've been called 'dark hearted' for reading her books before, I love them anyways! I love that her books are a little bizarre and Heaven is a great read (as well as the rest of the series).

4.) I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell-Tucker Max. This book is the. funniest. book. ever. I remember the first time I read it and I remember random stories all of the time (free laughs!).
