Marshmallows and Tea: Lost Without You

I admit, I'm a little damsel in so much distress when the hubby is not around. We had this coffee maker for the longest time, and because I don't drink coffee (except bought from Starbucks or Seattle's Best) as much as tea. I never bothered to use it. When I would like to have one I simply ask my wonderful husband to pour me some. Today, my taste buds are craving for that dunkin coffee my husband bought from Target. Since he is at work, I'm left to operate this little machinery called coffee maker. I know it's simple to use, but not for me who grew up liking instant coffee. I sure will make use of that Nestle Coffee Mate Vanilla Caramel. Who wants one? I'm nice and generous today.

To Professor, with Love by Linda Kage
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you'd just get a hold of my nook right now, you'd see how many notes and highlights were in it.. And I've got about four hours of sleep. Thank you very much Linda.

If I were a traditional reader I would be scandalized. But luckily I evolved. I didn't like the name Noel for a hero but it slowly warmed up to it.. Aspen and Noel's relationship didn't feel illicit, lurid or offending for me.. Like him I thought it felt really pure and honest. I
like how literature is completely subjective. So I can like this book all I want and still not be worried about how people will perceive me.. I agree with Ins Rhodz, this book reminded me of another book I loved, the one with Gabriel Emerson. I know you know what book. ;)

To Professor, With Love is not only about love of a man to a woman or vice versa. I had goosebumps on Noel's relationship with his friends. The camaraderie, intimacy and total togetherness astound me. I want to be friends with Ten, or Pick, or even Hamm..
I like Ten's quirkiness, I laughed so hard when he said this "only I can bring a woman that much pleasure". That's in the middle of my heart being broken. I love Linda.

Everyone of us is just like Aspen, our ultimate dream is to be loved.. Hmm. Don't you like the ring of Aspen as a name?

I can identify with Aspen's love for literature. When I was in college I was asked to read and do a presentation for 100 Years Of Solitude. I already loved literature then, reading it made me realized just how much. Recently I also read Catcher In the Rye, I know this was highlighted in my nook. It's exactly what I feel now. Tell me you like it.
"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it.” - J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

I'm just glad I have book friends for that ;) thanks Ins for recommending it and Ropz for giving me a little more push.. I don't regret having lost a few hours of sleep.

P.S. This made me laugh too " why do people grow some balls?"

Answer here if you'd read it -->
