Books & Beauty begins...

This blog is going to focus on my

love for reading great books 

and my love for beauty trends!

I figure there has to be a balance in life 

and these two go well together ;}

I am in a book club with a few girlfriends 

and I tried to get them to adopt the name,

but it was no go :(

So, I decided to use it for the blog!

Each month we pick a new book to read 

and I will share the pick 

if you would like to read along :)

It would also be great to get feedback 

from those that have read it!

After I read it,

I will give my take on the book too :}

In between reviewing books 

I will be adding a few beauty tips and trends 

along the way!!

So this months book is...

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin

We liked the idea of this book,

since my friends and I 

are on the brink of turning 30 this year

and coincidentally,

the book begins on the main character's 30th birthday.

Now you may be thinking,

oh all she reads are "chick lit" books,

but not true,

we just got done reading "Water for Elephants"

if you want to catch up on that!

A lot of times,

 we like to read books that are going to become movies,

because then it gives a good excuse 

for a "girls night" to go see the movie ;}

So, I hope you join me in this months read,

"Something Borrowed"

by Emily Giffin

{In theaters May 2011}

Happy reading,

Erica
