Re: Happy Friday!! What are you reading?
I finished Eleanor & Park last night, and I'm kind of in a book hangover from that.
Earlier this week, I started The Last Child In the Woods by Richard Louv. It's excellent so far, if a bit textbook-ish, and I recommend it for all parents. His thesis is a connection between how the "wired" generation of kids nowadays have lost their physical connection with nature and the environment, and that is a driver behind the increases in childhood obesity, add/adhd, anxiety/mood disorders, etc. I'll get back to reading it tonight. It's number 22 for the year.
Yesterday, I quit on Game of Thrones on audio. I couldn't get into it. Largely because I didn't like the narrator. So now I need a new audiobook.
Sugar & Spice
52 Books in 2014??
My sweet babies:
I'm reading Austenland. It's OK so far. #47 for the year.
I'm listening to The DaVinci Code. It's been awhile since I've read it so after I read Inferno I put it on hold at the library. I don't like the narrator's French accent.
BFP 1/8/11 - U/S 2/24/11 (11wks) no heartbeat measuring 6w1d - D&C 2/28/11
Listening to The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. Man, I really like it. It's like two books in one because one thread follows a present day "lost boy" whose polygamist mother is accused of murdering his father and one thread follows the history of the 19th wife of Brigham Young who left her polygamist marriage back in the 1800's.
Reading Love Overdue by Pamela Morsi. Cute and light, so far.
Also, I wanted to mention that I just finished Requiem (the final book of the Delirium trilogy) and was so, so disappointed. Blah!!

I'm going to do FBC. I'm so excited!

It's #27 for the year.
I'm re-reading Twilight again (re-re-re-reading maybe? lol) It just popped into my head the other night - I'd just finished Looking for Alaska and needed an in-betweener kind of book.
I'll start Someday Someday Maybe either tonight or in the morning.
After I finished this I went back through and re-read certain passages because I loved them so much - and I never do that! His writing is amazing to me. I loved the story and plot but I read it before I saw the movie. This is right there with TFiOS for my favorite book I've read this year.
