50 pounds

Yesterday I went online to look up further details of my trip (I am leaving in less than two weeks). Can I pick my seat now? How many bags can I bring? Departure time... you know all that stuff you’re supposed to know before you actually fly out. 

One thing caught my eye immediately. In small print next to baggage allowance it had a small scripted '1' .

1.

1..

1......

I think I need to put my glasses on. Something is obviously wrong with my vision. Nope, thats a 1. Not a 2 with a small tail. Definitely a 1. I am weeping inside. How is it that I am alloted the same baggage quantity as a weekend vacationer?! How?! I was going to pack one bag of books and shoes alone!

I look further, total baggage weight is. Wait for it....

50 POUNDS!

I think my universe has just exploded. That is probably the exact weight of the books I plan to bring. 

I am a nice person. What did I do to deserve this?! Why God, why me?!

So this got me thinking, what summer reading am I going to bring? So far I have decided on the Game of Thrones series and the rest of the Outlander series (that I have yet to finish), and the Fever series. This sufficiently covers adventure, romance and fantasy. 

So this post goes out to you, my two (and only) followers, my two avid readers: Rebecca and Lidia. 

This is my plea of help.
