Read Any Good Books Lately?

Have you read any good books lately?  Or are you so busy you barely have time to think yet alone read?   If you're a reader, and you take the time to leave me a comment, recommend a book.  Here's some of the books and authors I've been reading:  John Irving, if you like a good long story with quirky characters he's the man; Pat Conroy, another one for good long stories, with a southern bent;  Jonathan Kellerman for fast paced detective stories; the Girl with the Tattoo series, Sookie Stackhouse series; Stephanie Plum series.  
As soon as I saw this week's My Favorite Things sketch I was itching to make a card.  It's the triple scallop layer that gets me.  

Here's the deets:
stamp - My Favorite Things a la mode "Here's the Story"
ink - Memento Tuxedo Black and Ranger Antique Ivory

don't forget the inside

paper - GCD "Chianti Collection"; Basic Grey "Basics White Paper"; Recollections Neutral cs; My Favorite Things "Perfect Panel"
miscellaneous - copics; Stampin' Up crochet trim and rhinestone brad; brads and mini brads; My Favorite Things open scallop and flower dienamics; burlap twine; glasses charm

Here's the challenges:
My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club MFTWSC30 - sketch
Kaboodle Doodle #77 - Stitching Faux or Real
Daring Cardmakers - Wish You Were Here

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you'll come back again and don't forget to mention a good read when you leave your comment.
