Falling Behind....

I am very happy that I went with my gut and didn't change my goodreads goal before I achieved it!  If July is any indication, I don't know if I will be even making the goal I set back in January  What has happened!  I've been caring for my folks and crazy (good crazy) busy at work and by the time I get home from work, I've been too beat to keep my reading eyeballs open!  Very sad!
Fresh Off the Boat was a sweet, quick read though, that gave me insight into a different culture, which is always a good thing.  It reminded me a bit of the Year of... series, but it isn't a copycat or anything like that at all, it just talks about folks making their way in a new country and adjusting, like Lovetorn was. Vicenzia and her family are from the Philippines where they lived a life of pretty serious luxury.  Now they are struggling paycheck to paycheck in San Francisco.  V has romance troubles and friend troubles and family worries just like all kids, but she also has to deal with the culture of a new country.  Good read.
