Reading Material, Please
Filed Under Random | 6 Comments
Wow. I have been crabby and more inclined to stay at home lately. Can’t sleep for a variety of reasons, and I have found that taking baths in the evenings helps me to get more comfortable and also to calm my crazy hormones. (If you have been victimized by my hormones lately- I swear it’s not really me!)
So this leaves me with a lot more time to read. I love reading. Big nerd when it comes to reading… but I would like some suggestions for books- preferably something that can be found at the library! I have been stuck in a rut of reading James Patterson, Mary Higgins Clark, and a few others lately- same authors and style over and over again- and would like something new. But that might give you an idea of what I’m into. I like mysteries and thrillers- NO SCI FI- romance is great but not totally trashy and void of a storyline. It has to be more story than sex. Non-fiction if it is a biography about someone interesting or a look at relevant social issues/child stuff.
Anyway, I would love to get ideas of books from other people to hopefully make a list to take to the library with me this weekend and expand my horizons a bit. What have you read lately that you would recommend?
In turn, I will share a recommendation with you: My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. I read it in a night. Keep kleenexes nearby.

The two books I’ve recently ENJOYED in a huge (educational, yet entertaining) way- Birthing From Within AND Birth- The Surprising Story of How We Were Born (Tina Cassidy).
The Kite Runner was also sensational… but I’ve in a preganancy/birth reading mode lately…
Happy Reading and Happy Baby to you!

I read alot, and have many I can recommend. I’ll email you a list once I can remember more than just a few!
The boog group I’m part of just read My Sister’s Keeper. Its a story about a girl who was conceived to be a bone marrow donor for her sister with leukemia. I also read The Life of Pi, but that one was a bit heavier.
Nicholas Sparks! He wrote The Notebook, my all-time favorite movie! His books are romantic but not trashy! My favorite book of his is The Wedding. But I have yet to read a book of his that I do not like.
“Dear John” by Nicholas Sparks is a good one. I love everything by Nicholas Sparks.
“The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls is an excellent book.
“Diary of a Mad Mom-To-Be” is good. Light reading, basic chick-lit, but not too stupid.
I love all of Jodi Picoult’s books. I haven’t read one yet that I haven’t liked.
janet evanovich is good. i also like james patterson a lot and the plum storylines from janet are similar, somewhat. murder mysteries if you will.
i’m listening to the thornbirds by ?? mccullough right now and i really really like it.
