My Summer "Top 10" Day 9

Top Summer Moment #9: Books

I don’t remember where I heard it, but this summer I heard a statistic that 1 in 4 Americans didn’t read a single book last year. While I love reading, I can see how easy it would be to fall into that statistic, so I made an effort to read more this summer (even if that means only 2 pages before I fall asleep).

Here are the books that made my summer better!

I'm currently loving ...

Bats for Lashes Saw this music video at the bike film festival this weekend and loved it. So simple and so creepy...

Flickr photos! lots of photos, especially of cats.

Across the Universe I wasn't sold the first time I watched this, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it and now I'm loving it! Definitely gets you in the mood for some Beatles music.

The Office I know... I'm late to the game, but I can't get enough of The Office right now!

Nortec Collective 5 guys on laptops + 1 trumpet + 1 accoridan... Ranks at the top of my list for best live shows ever, right up there with Radiohead and Flaming Lips.

Knit Book; Basics & Beyond I want to make some hats and I use to know how to knit, but need a refresher. This is a great book that covers a lot of info and has TONS of good pictures (great to learn from).

Bamboo Fabric Store I'm trying to move my Spring '08 collection into the green by using organic and/or sustainable fabrics. I found all my new bamboo jersey fabrics here and I'm totally in love with them!

Project Runway 3 DVD I got this for Christmas and am still too scared to watch it! I've heard that I'm shown on the DVD a lot more than I was on the season... eek!

Chromeo I'm not so much into the whole 80's throwback trend, but these guys are awesome. Check out “Tenderoni” to know why.

Theo Wirth Snowboard Park I just started teaching here... great little secret in Minneapolis.
