Diving back into an old...old fave.

Ah summer. Or I should say, "Ah, the weeks before summer starts." The weeks before summer starts is the most magical time. There you make all these plans-mostly reading and art projects for me-plans that are meant to be the things you always wanted to complete, but school and jobs got in the way.
But then summer hits and work and other things happen. Don't get me wrong, the summer I've had has been wonderful. The movies, the shopping. Seriously, I spent way too much on my Monster High dolls these last few months. But it has been tons of fun. The reconnecting with friends. And I still have a month to go! But in my virtual checklist, I haven't done squat. LOL
I do seriously plan on holding my mom to our Zoo photo shoot day. Plan A was to go to the aquarium and the zoo. But let's keep it realistic. LOL
Anyways, so, the projects. I always have a huge list of new reading that I want to get done. I have read a few new books, but none of the main ones I wanted to read. Mainly, I just find myself digging into some very old favorites.
And the one I'm reading now is from my days of middle school. I think the first time I cracked it open...I think I was in fifth grade?
Anyways, "The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West." It's the most beaten up paperback from 1988. Probably one of the obscure fantasy books that you find hidden away in Borders' bookshelves somewhere. The book is out of print, but you can get it on Kindle. My mom bought her...er..my copy on Amazon for about 50$.
The only reason I picked up the book in the first is because I had read the children's series by the same author. "Unicorns of Balinor." A fun series, but an age limit of 12 easily. In high school I tried to go back and read it, but the dialogue is simplistic, story line familiar, and the descriptions are like eating candy. Everything is soft, sweet, and a tiny bit sappy. LOL Perfect for a certain age group.

But "Heavenly" is so not for kids, which is why I can come back to it so easily.
So, I guess all I can say is, screw plans. The summer is about enjoying your freedom and doing whatever you feel like. And that mean being able to break rules that you have set for yourself.
