Alyssa Rose Ivy is stopping by today for a guest post to celebrate her recent release, The Hazards of Skinny Dipping.
If I had a Bucket List…
Maybe it’s because I’m optimistic I’ll have time to do everything I want, but I don’t actually have a bucket list. However, I do have plenty of things that would be on one.
I’d love to travel more. There are so many places I’ve never been that I hope I get the chance to see. I’m starting to get the travel bug more and more lately, and I could probably fill an entire notebook with the places I’d visit. First I need to see the rest of the U.S. (my experience with the west coast is pitifully small), but then the sky’s the limit.
Relating to wanting to see more of the world, I want to sail a boat around the world. Being completely honest, I don’t actually want to be the one to sail, I’d like someone else to sail me around the world (or at least on a long trip). I love water and boats, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
I want to learn how to play piano. When I was younger I played both the viola and the guitar, but I’ve never played the piano. Sometime when I have more free time, I’m going to.
More than anything, it’s the personal experiences I hope I get to have. I want to watch my kids grow up, their graduations, weddings, and I want the chance to meet my grandchildren. If I get to see those things, I’d die a happy person.
The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy
Published: May 17th, 2013
Reading Level: Young Adult
288 pages
Summary:
This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.
