started Dr. Sleep by Stephen King yesterday and got 100 pages in.  Only took me 20 to be grossed out/terrified....I love that guy.

Also - My CW wrote a middle school book!!!!  It's available on Kindle.  Gabby Gibson, Middle School detective - Sharon Broomall.  I can't wait to read that too, but I have to on my phone. 

Fun Fact - the Amanda in the dedication is ME!  She used some of my slang in it haha.

I started and finished Marital Bitch a kindle freebie this weekend while H was working. It was cute and fluffy.

I started listening to Fangirl and am loving it! I also find it amusing that one of the narrators is Maxwell Caulfield. If you don't like the movie Empire Records, I'm not sure we can be friends.

I finished Dark Places this weekend. I liked it but I liked Gone Girl better. Now I am reading The Art of Racing in the Rain.

I'm really not sure what happened but I managed to get through the following books since last Monday:
Bossypants
The Fault in Our Stars
The Silver Linings Playbook
Eleanor and Park

I think it helped that DH and I worked different shifts. He'd head to bed and I'd sit up and read since I was still a bit wired.

I loved every single one of the books you read!

@WillyH19 I LOVE LOVE LOVE Empire Records!! Happy Rex Manning Day!!!

I finished Crescendo and Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick. (Hush, Hush series books 2 & 3). They're really, really good. I had a dream about the main male character a couple nights ago when I finished it! haha. I'm currently reading Someone to Love. I'm not far enough in to have an opinion. It seems like it'll be an easy, fluff read though.

I'm reading Storm of Swords (Game of Thrones Book 3). And textbooks. But no one wants to hear about those lol.

@snuff9861 what sort of textbooks?

@consciousdear88

I'm in nursing, though none of my classes are about actual physical bedside nursing this semester. It's a lot of community health and empower textbooks.

@snuff9861 I wonder if US nursing students read those kinds of books?  Is it promoting healthy habits as a preventative measure?  Because that really should be taught!!

That's part of it. Healthy habits are part of our primary health care class. Community health is more about the roles nurses play in schools, workplaces, making policy etc and the tools they use. Our empowerment is class is about recognizing oppressed groups and their special needs and also being oppressed as nurses in the traditional medical model.
