August is always a tough one for me. On the one hand, I love the fact it’s still summer. On the other hand, school looms. I’m not ready for it. So I’ll pretend it’s not happening until the first day arrives.

I have a stack of novels to read, and I can’t wait to dive in. Next month be sure to stop back for my month-long giveaway to celebrate Wyoming Christmas Quadruplets, releasing in October!

What I’m loving this month:

Dance Off the Inches: Country Line Dance. With lines like, “The first dance is Round ’em up, and if you do it right, you might find yourself rounding up a cowboy,” what’s not to love? This exercise DVD is old–and fun!

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. Set in 1923 (and spanning decades) in the Metropol hotel in Moscow, this book follows a former count who’s been sentenced to life in the hotel. The author uses the tiniest details to charm the reader about a difficult subject.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team 13 on CMT. This is my favorite show on television! I’ve watched almost every season. I love it!
