This is great - you put in an author/book and it gives you suggestions of other books you might like. http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/

Excellent. i'll be using it.

Coming Back To Me is the last book I read. It was 320 pages long. It was good, hard read, some crying involved.

I realized I was only reading the classics cause everyone else is so those are scratched off my list for now - cause thats a dumb reason to read em. Also cause my sister said to is a dumb reason. So anyway. No Rebecca, but I got Kat to read it, aren't you proud of me ?! HA

I am having a hard time getting into rebecca, so i am blogging about this situtation. Someone help me. How do i make myself read the darn book? My sister (a history major, might i add) loved it and really wants me to read it.

I haven't blogged about what books the kids and I have been reading. On Sunday I found myself at my parents without one of my library books, so I reread a babysitters club book. The boys have a stack from the library and A Friend For Dragon seems to be the favorite, it's been read more than once. And we've been working our way through Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, a chapter at a time. Sometimes I read, sometimes daddy reads, sometimes Jerbear reads.

Yeah i procrastinate, what is your point? Kat is going to read Rebecca with me, that should help.

I was looking at the SRP page and noticed a few things. First of all, people are adding up the pages they have read. Glad I saw that before returning these three books to the library, i'll go back and edit # of pages in my posts.

Next I am going to attempt to read Rebecca, which my sister lent to me and really wants me to read. This. Is a challenge.

And a favorite quote from No Place Like Home "Maybe that's what my sisterless friends are looking for when they wish for a sister of their own. That connection. I mean, we might have called one another names and said things, even done awful things, but when it comes down to the wire, sisters are there for you in a way you can't always count on from your friends."

Something blue was a quick & fun read. After reading reviews at amazon I realized it is the sequel to another, and I suppose it would have made sense to read them in order but oh well! I may or may not pick up the other book, part of me wants to know a bit more of the whys and whens of Rachel and Dex's relationship though ... !

I am now out of library books, and we aren't returning to the library until Friday (we went last Tuesday). There are plenty of other books around here though.

I finished book #2 this evening - What I Really Want To Do Is Direct. This one started slow and took quite a while too hook me - surprising since i've always read that you must hook the reader within the first three chapters. But once I got into it I was really into it. I was rooting for the main character, I had choosen the man I wanted her to end up with, and the job that seemed best for her. Very happy with the ending.

I'll be starting book number three tonight, most likely.

Week One

Kat just kicked off her summer reading program, and of course I had to join. My goal is to read a book a week. Simple, yes, but I do have four children! I'll read to them as well, but may not blog on every single children's book I read cause uhm, thats a lot.

So, to get started, last week I read No Place Like Home by Barbara Samuel. It was wonderful, I cried several times through the book. Stayed up way too late to finish it. Next time we visit the library I plan on looking for more of her books, this was just that good.
