What Are Your Reading Now
Dear friends,
Yesterday I was telling you about our little walk from Sunday afternoon. What I did not tell you was the fact that we once again went wild and went to the bookstore. Oh, the bookstore! That is the most perfect place to relax for me. If you give me a good book and a cup of tea I shall be your friend forever ;) I agree with my best friend Jane (Austen) when she said: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” + dear old C.S.Lewis: “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” Let the books never end and the cup of tea always flow :)
We went to two of our fav bookstores and I believe you already remember one of them. That is right, I am talking about Empik ;) The first bookstore we visited though was not Empik but Matras. Matras is not that high on books written in English but it is a perfect bookstore for Polish authors or books written/translated in Polish language. We managed though to get from there another book for our collection ;) It is a huge paperback with Charles Dickens shorter novels. Well at least 4 of them: Oliver Twist, Hard Times, A Tale Of Two Cities & Great Expectations. Tell you the truth I never heard of Hard Times and I am ashamed of that so that will be the first one I shall read from that book ;)
On the other hand, my husband is not a romantic/period movie/book fan so even though he knows and has read Dickens it is not his thing ;) But he does love his comics. He is a huge fan of Asterix & Obelix so after jumping by Empik we ended up with 2 extra comic books with Asterix :) Makes sense, we cant have one without the other! And tell you the truth, I am quite a fan myself ;)) I have the first 4 books in Romanian language and I read them from cover to cover. Both me and my sister. And I think I have already told you about my fav one: Asterix And Cleopatra :) As soon as we got home he jumped in the bed and started reading them, just like a small child with new toys :) I love him for that!
Hope you guys had an awesome weekend as well :)
P.S. As a Christmas present "Santa" also brought me a "Behind The Scenes To Downton Abbey" and the 3 parts of the "Hunger Games" so that is my "To Read List" for the beginning of the year ;)
Yours truly,
The LadyBug and her Pinocchio :)

2013 Honda Civic Says �Look at Me Now � Accord PHEV Priced at 40 570 � 2012 L A
2013 Honda Civic Says “Look at Me Now,” Accord PHEV Priced at $40,570 – 2012 L.A Well, that was fast. After all the bashing centered on the 2012 Honda Civic, it appears the new 2013 model has benefited from a speedy recovery. A trio of Civics including the Hybrid and Si took the stage at the 2012 L.A. Auto Show, causing a scene in an effort to say, “look at me now.”

2013 Honda Civic Says “Look at Me Now,” Accord PHEV Priced at $40,570 – 2012 L.A
It’s understandable the 2013 Honda Civic wants so much attention, as looks like a much more premium offering than the car it replaces. A new open mouth grille, reshaped hood, Accord-esque rear end, and spiffy new wheels are the most notable changes, but it gets much better inside the sedan. The materials used for the dashboard and headliner look more upscale, while a rear camera, Pandora, Bluetooth, and SMS texting come standard. It’s the little things that count, as a sliding center armrest also comes in every Civic. While changes are significant, the price increase for the new models isn’t. All 2013 models cost $160 more than the outgoing car, meaning the LX (DX has been dropped) starts at $18,955.
In addition to the aforementioned changes, the $21,605 EX adds new 16-inch alloy wheels, a mesh grille finished in gloss black, brushed aluminum garnishes on the door, and automatic climate control. The $24,555 top-trim EX-L with navigation gets all of the above plus leather seats, with new foglights and chrome trim on the lower valence. Meanwhile, the racier Si, which uses its six-speed manual to send all 201 horses to the front wheels, will set you back $23,505. The Hybrid also gets its helping of new additions for 2013, including a new grille, foglights, LED daytime running lights and taillights, standard satellite radio and Honda’s Forward Crash Warning and Lane Departure Warning.
The 2014 Honda Accord PHEV also made its debut alongside the Civic triplets, and was priced at $40,570. The plug-in hybrid is EPA rated at 115 MPGe, and has an EV range of 13 miles. The PHEV has a real presence with cool wheels that resemble a moving windmill and a wide grille. The PHEV goes on sale on January 15 in New York and California, where it also qualifies for HOV access. As for the non-plug-in Honda Accord hybrid, the automaker says the car is expected to be EPA-rated at 49/45 mpg city/highway.
