What are you reading?
What's everybody reading these days? Read anything good lately?
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: What are you reading?
I finished Room a couple weeks ago...OMG....LOVED IT!!! Bawled my eyes out though so fair warning to sensative, hormonal types like me.
Now, just finishing the latest of the Harper Connolly mysteries. (Same author as the Sookie books.)
Next up is Jennifer Weiner's latest.
I'd love some more suggestions to add to my "to read" list.
Currently reading The Orchid Affair--part of the Pink Carnation historical lit books. Really great so far (but I'm a sucker for fun period novels)
Just finished Alice I Have Been, a novelization of the life of the girl who Alice in Wonderland was based on. It was pretty good.
Also finishing up listening to Odd Thomas from Dean Koontz on CD in the car. Enjoying it more than I thought I would (I tried reading this years ago, and couldn't get through it)
Currently I am reading Paranormal State: My Journey Into the Unknown by Ryan Buell and Heat Wave by Richard Castle.
Both aren't bad but neither of them are mind expanders by any means.
Just finished Zeitoun - it was incredible! A quick nonfiction read that read like fiction. It is about a muslim man from New Orleans and his family during and after Katrina. I moved back here just a few months before Katrina and have thus had an interest in stories from there, but seriously everyone should read it.
Now I'm reading In Defense of Food - been on my nightstand for a while and I finally started it.
Next up: who knows..though I'd love a good novel.
Hey, I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire on my new Christmas Kindle too! How awesome is it?!?? I didn't care much for the first book but it was worth reading to get to this second one. I've been loving it!
I'm also reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth (very slowly) and it has some great information. Highly recommend it if you're pregnant. (And aren't set on a csection or epidural...)
Ina May is my hero! I read that when I was pg and loved it too. I think I've read her other book, Spiritual Midwifery, like 3 times. I wish her Guide to Breastfeeding had been out when Kyva was born.
You can get a library card for $15 from the Philadelphia Library http://www.freelibrary.org/ and you can check out ebook from them. I heard they have a lot of ebooks in their collection. Several ladies on the Nest Book Board uses it.

You're going to tear through The Hunger Games. My 13-year-old nephew loaned that to me and we both couldn't put it down. And I loved The Host! I thought that was far better than the Twilight books.
And Meggy O, I loved the Odd Thomas books. Well, at least the first few. The third or fourth one wasn't so hot.
