We haven't done one of these in a bit. With 3 days on the couch, I plan on binge-watching House of Cards (any reviews - no spoilers?). I also would like to read something entertaining.
I like fiction and nonfiction. The last fiction book I read was The Husband's Secret (predictable, but recommended). The last nonfiction was Nothing to Envy (interesting look at N Korea). I am over dystopian lit and hated Divergent.
And...GO!

Pregnancy was never the end goal; being a mom was.

Re: Book Recs
I love love love Susanna Kearsley. She is my new favorite author. The Winter Sea or Shadowy Horses would be my first recommendations of hers
Madame Tussaud by Michelle Moran is a fantastic historical fiction.
I really enjoyed The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Gailbreth(J K Rowling) but that genre is not my norm.
