It´s sanni-licious

TheTeach has tagged me for this meme a while ago. I greatly appreciate this tag for many reasons:
First and foremost because I was tagged by TheTeach and the MEME helped me answering a question that bothered me for a long time. I remembered I´ve played a similar game many moons ago. It was named “SEVEN“. Digging through my archives I found the MEME and a hint… about me and my hair… a while back I couldn´t imagine to get my hair cut short - so why should I do it now??? Oh those pregnancy hormones… =)

Now, with no further ado, back to the game:

STACK

I love books. If I could eat them I would. I love their scent.
There´s always a huge stack of books waiting for me on my bedstand. Yes, I confess - I´m not a girl for one book… I´m a book-cheater *wink* …and I have to own the books I´m reading. It doesn´t matter if the books are new or used, but they have to be mine, just because sometimes I re-read the books.

I currently have an affair with 4 books:

- The Darwin Awards: Evolution in Action by Wendy Northcutt (far too funny)
- Salt on Our Skin by Benoite Groult (I could read it over and over again, at least once in a year *sigh*)
- Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8 by David Powers (need this one for pimping WP designs)
- The Milkman by our blogging friend Ian Healy (For the 3rd time! I absolutely love it! It´s 2007s laugh-out-loud-hilarious must-read. Buy and enjoy!)

What are you reading? My bloggie, I know =) - but is there a book you´re currently into? Please let me know about your reading habits.

Love & PEACE ♥,

And now…

Homer: When will I learn? The answer to life’s problems aren’t at the bottom of a bottle, they’re on TV!

July 27th, 2007 - 2:28 AM GMT+1

It´s raining cats and dogs outside, how fitting! After slurfing a few butter beers (“Aggio, beer!”) and using tons of Kleenex, I have officially finished reading

“Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows” (Book 7).

Finding myself in the midst of the seven stages of mourning for the end of the Harry Potter era I´m going to bed now.
For those HP Maniacs who haven´t finished reading this last great adventure, yet, Coffee2go will remain a spoiler-free zone for at least 3 weeks, BUT: Feel free to email me. I´d love to discuss the book with you! Fire Whiskey anyone?

Catch ya,

And now…

Homer: I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life.
Number 1: Cover for me.
Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss!
Number 3: It was like that when I got here.
