When we first got married we decided that we wanted to go away every year for our anniversary just the 2 of us. Being that this year we are pretty broke- we are going camping! But don't feel too bad for us, because we are going in a super tricked out pop-up tent trailer that we inherited from my parents! Well it's not tricked out yet, but our "pimp my trailer" plans will be put into effect as soon as my handy husband fills the the bb gun holes (apparently expensive tent trailers make great target practice) and repairs the roof (it seems it was repeatedly jumped onto from the top of our house by someone's un-named brothers). But THEN we will cover it with tacky bumper stickers, paint it hot pink and black, put some shag carpet in along with purple velvet wallpapering, or do something like that! OK, maybe not that elaborate, but it will be awesome eventually and probably slightly tacky since you can do that kind of stuff to a trailer- unless you live in it!
Anyways, we are going for a full week in July. And while, Scottie is oh so entertaining, I have a good hunch that there will definitely be plenty of moments of boredom. So I have decided to begin a quest. It is not the most noble of quests, but it is an important one. I am on a quest to find the best fiction book of all time! Actually, I don't even need the best, I just want one of those books that you never want to stop reading and that makes you sad when it's over. I want something that is totally going to enthrall me and that I will remember for years to come. So the purpose of this post is to get ideas for some books. I want to hear anyone and everyone's suggestions of the best fiction books ever! Anything that you totally loved, even if you are not sure why you loved it. You can check out my list of books that affected me to see what I have already read and to get ideas of the kind of stuff I like and then just post your recommendations as a comment (I am also accepting tent trailer decor ideas!). This is also the part where we will get to find out if anyone actually reads my blog, or if any of my blog readers read anything else!

I don't know, but tell me when you find out! I miss reading. How does that go again?
I think that's what I did before I had 3 little kids, but I can't really remember.
