Creative Saturday

Woohoo it's the weekend!

To celebrate I'm camped out at Solar de Cahuenga (a coffee shop in Hollywood), drinking a chai latte and doing some creative writing.

Yummm!

I forgot my headphones, so today my soundtrack is the always entertaining banter of too-caffeinated creative types (I fit right in!).

Speaking of creative-oriented things, I've been reading a lot lately. Nothing crazy exciting to report, but I do love being in the middle of a good book.

What I've been reading:

• The second and third Hunger Games books - in preparation for the second movie I decided to reread Catching Fire, and then, because I love these books, I decided to just go ahead and reread Mockingjay. I'll happily admit that I adore these books. They're easy to read, fun, and fascinating. I love Katniss Everdeen (almost as much as I love Jennifer Lawrence); she's a wonderful female protagonist. Plus, they're perfect to read when I'm at the gym on the stair master (I pretend I'm in an arena fighting against the other tributes and have to climb a bunch of stairs...haha not really...but maybe...).
• I'm in the middle of Tina Fey's Bossy Pants, which I've been meaning to read for a while now. It's okay. I love Tina - I think she's hilarious, but I don't find the book that funny. Maybe it's just not my type of humor. It's worth reading, but I don't know that I've laughed out loud more than one or two times. However, she's certainly an inspiration and I admire everything she's done.
• I mentioned in a previous post that I was reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I finished it and I loved it! Weird, whimsical and fun, I recommend this to anyone who likes stories that are a little off-kilter.

Alright, back to my chai tea and writing.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!
