Fall Books Excitement: 2013 Edition

I know, I know ... the summer just started ... but I'm already looking forward to the Fall and all the SWEET sequels I'm dying to read.

Just One Year by Gayle Forman -- because I can't get the ending of Just One Day out of my head. The book was based in Paris and was romantic and lovely. Sigh. More! More! (Due in October.)

The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle #2) by Maggie Stiefvater -- because, as I said last year, I'll read anything Maggie Stiefvater writes. And I didn't love the first book, it did set up an interesting story for the second. (September)

 Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins -- because Lola and the Boy Next Door and Anna and the French Kiss were so fun-tastic to read that I don't want to miss out. And I love all the interweaving of characters in these books. (May 2014 -- they moved this date. BOO!)

United We Spy, Gallagher Girls #6 by Ally Carter -- because this is the LAST book in the series and you practically watch little Cammie grow up from a naive girl to a full-on spy woman! I need to know how Ally is going to end things. (September)

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon -- this isn't a sequel but a new trilogy that's getting an impressive amount of buzz. The author, a college student, got signed to a HUGE book deal to complete this series. I keep hearing it's Inception mixed with Harry Potter. Too intriguing. (August)

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
