Great beach reads . . . all year long
"A classic is something that everyone wants to have read and nobody wants to read."

What I'm Reading Now . . .
Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
"Charles Dickens is an unlikely beacon for the children of the tiny fishing village in which this short novel takes place. When all the schoolteachers flee for the safety of the mainland, the community's only white man, a linen-suited eccentric named Mr Watts, decides that exposure to Great Expectations will do the kids some good. He reassembles the class and introduces them to the faraway world of Pip, Magwitch and Miss Havisham, a chapter a day." - Killian Fox

- People move far away from their hometowns every day . . . we know we aren't special! The blog started as a way to document our move from Virginia to Florida and has morphed into writing about our daily lives - especially since baby #1 is on its way! Thanks for reading!
