Monday Good Reads #3

I promised I would pick a book I wasn’t assigned for class!!  Today’s book is a novel that gripped me so hard I couldn’t put it down– I zoomed right through it. It also made me cry (something books/movies/etc rarely have the power to do).

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III is about a foreclosed house that a Middle Eastern family moves into–meanwhile the previous owner does everything in her power to get it back. I’m really not going to go into a lot of details because the plot is so good I want you to experience it for yourself.

A movie was made in 2003 starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly. It too is excellent, but read the book first (as if I even need to remind you of this…).

Across the Universe

This cover by David Bowie just floored me.

Young Americans (album) Released 1975.

Inspiration Board #4

I’ve lived in my small town for a while now, and have continually been impressed every time I go see I Heard A Lion (myspace, facebook, twitter) perform. Not to mention the guys are friends of mine (and their newest member is my husband).

This summer (or was it spring?) The band headed up to Kansas City and holed themselves up for a few days and made an EP. TONIGHT is the night… the EP release party/concert/jam/free nachos night. In celebration, I have whipped up this board of lion wearables to show my lion pride. (Get it? Pride? That was totally unintentional I swear).
