Lemon Cookies

I'm obsessed with these lemon cookies! But we can't always make it to Maggiano's so here are some recipes I'm hoping to try from Live Fit and Healthy and QueenMotherBlog. 

The Shadow of the Wind

Summer time is finally here! That means I can begin to read again. The first was a book that I had tried to read while still in school, which was a massive failure, of course. "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon began relatively slowly for me - I wasn't quite hooked from the start. I must say I did enjoy it a lot, though, as once I finally started reading again about a day ago, I became pretty determined to finish it as soon as possible. It is definitely a novel. A lot of adventure, intrigue, romance. I can't say this book is life-changing for me, but I did really enjoy reading it. Though, I don't mean that it was an empty adventure - it's a complex novel and I didn't feel like I was reading anything empty. A good book to start off this summer! It's wonderful to sink back into imaginary worlds again. I feel like I was unable to do that for the majority of this semester, sadly.
