What are you reading these days?

ai&Jas · June 2009

Hi ladies,

So I finally got myself a library card (we moved last year) and have vowed to return to reading for pleasure again! So here I am looking for some good recommendations.

I just finished The Memory Keepers daughter by Kim Edwards and B as in Beauty by Alberto Ferreras

Anyway, I would love to hear which books you're currently reading at the moment!

Thanks!

I just finished the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot

Size 12 is not Fat

Size 14 is not Fat Either

Big Boned

They were entertaining and quick reads. Not very deep but good if you want something light. Meg Cabot is a good author for that type of material in general.

I just finished Love the One You are With by Emily Giffin. I love her books. I am re-reading Message in a Bottle right now and plan to start the Twilight series next.

I'm alternating between Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich and The Happiest Toddler on the Block (:

I highly recommend The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It was one of the best books I have read this year.

I just finished reading Nigella Lawson's How to Eat. Yep, I read cookbooks, I am odd that way.

Now I am reading Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology as a quick review. Nice light reading at bedtime - no wonder I fall asleep so quickly!

A few good ones I've read lately:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Time Traveler's Wife

A Thousand Splendid Suns

I just read The Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, and found it to be a very interesting read!

I'm currently reading "All Aunt Hagar's Children" by Edward P. Jones and it's pretty good.

And I wanted to say that "The Time Traveler's Wife" mentioned by pp is my favorite book. I know it sound weird but I'm in love with Audrey Niffenegger's books (she has a couple of illustrated novels that are pretty cool and is due to publish a new book this fall).

Reading? What's that? Smile

My reading time has decreased drastically, but I do get a few minutes in each day. I'm reading Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver now (started it while I was pregnant). I've also decided to do more books on cds during my commute because I'm not getting in as much reading time as I'd like, so I have Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by the same author waiting for me at the library. I love interlibrary loan!

I'm reading the Kite Runner. It's very good, although some parts are really sad. I read The Memory Keepers' Daughter when I was on maternity leave. I didn't expect much from it, but I really liked it. I found myself thinking about it for a long time afterward.
