Total Books Read : 21 (only 5 away from my goal of 2/week - and if you add in stuff like babysitters club, anastasia, children's books, and non-fiction which i don't read through but skip around to find what i need in - i surpassed it. heh)

Most of these books came from the library - some I had at the house from previous half price trips and two were birthday books ! The library book I want to go out and buy is Recipes For A Perfect Marriage. A book I would reccomend is Delta Belles. Now. These are my two most recent reads - so I maybe the fact that they are still stuck in my head has a lot to do with that.

The list (titles only, i'm lazy)
Delta Belles
Recipes For A Perfect Marriage
When Light Breaks
The Undomestic Goddess
The Secret Wish
Sister Chicas
Over the moon at the big lizard diner

When light breaks by patti callahan henry
the undomestic goddess by sophie kinsella
the secret wish by annette mahon

Library trip! Four books for mama. I read Sister Chicas - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451217705/104-0133536-6905518?v=glance&n=283155 yeah i'm lazy tonight that I won't do the html for it ! I also read a zillion kids books from the Wild Animal Read It Again kit. heh. Okay like six or so. Some of them more than once.

As for Sister Chicas, it is a cute book. Good story of friendship, love, family. I kept wishing I knew more of the spanish words as I read, guess what? There is a glossary in back. Wish I had known that before finishing the book!!! I like how each characters POV was written by a different author, very cool.

I bought two new Lisa Wingate books for my birthday (via gift card someone sent me). My collection is complete until her next book comes out ;) I'll be reading them while we are away. And I plan to knit too. On a baby blanket and a baby sweater and a hat for my son and other random things. Yay.

I've read three more books. The Friendship Test by Elizabeth Noble and He's Got To Go by Sheila O'Flanagan and Bundle Of Joy by Ariella Papa

I tried to read The Bitch Posse, and I feel bad for this since she is a momwriter, but I really am not enjoying it at all. Can't get into it. I know lots of people like it though so it seems i'm on my own with that. It's going back not read all the way through - life is too short to waste it on books that you don't enjoy. There are so many others out there, after all!

If you pop in here, or if you've been following along, you may have noticed a few things about me and my reading habits.

1.I prefer light, fun, reads to the serious stuff.
2.I DO choose books by their cover, and I don't always complete a book - if it bores me I don't bother with it. Many more out there to entertain!
3. I read a lot. I will read all day then quickly do the things that need to be done around here, or vice-versa do the things very quickly so I can read. I like to read.

Finished another one Suburbanistas by pamela satran

It was a fun read. In addition to the three sisters thing, I like books where there is a strong strong friendship.

Now i'm going back to add links to some books I jotted down last week before returning them to the library! You may have noticed i'm trying to record these others as I finish.


I took the Suburbanistas Quiz and answered mostly B's - YOU'RE A SUBURBANITE, NOT A SUBURBANISTA. You're a suburban-dweller in the style of our parents, clueless about the new Suburbanista ways. Square, sure, but you're probably more relaxed than an entire yoga studio full of Suburbanistas.

I think I mentioned my books from the library? Anyway. I read one yesterday, again couldn't put it down. Perfect summer reading. Chick Lit. Red dress ink even :P

Hand-Me-Down

It was really good. I do like the whole three sisters thing though, and a boyfriend gone through them all is an interesting concept. You would think the ex would be off limits, right ?! I wouldn't know from personal experience though. One thing that bothered me was the author pushed the new new new thing ten slacked off on tat for awhile to where it wasn't done so obviously, then picked it back up. I would have preffered more consistancy in the writing.
