Re: The SAHM Book Club Weekly Check-In
I met my goal! I've read 10 books so far. My new goal for the year is 14 books.
I read The Crying Tree and hated it. The only reason I even finished it was because I was OOT and didn't have any other reading material. The plot was so predictable, the ending felt thrown together.
Right now I'm reading The Black Wave by John & Jean Silverwood. It's the true story of the authors' 2 yr sailbot trip with their family, which doesn't go as planned and ends in tragedy. It's good!
Started reading A Mother's Guide to Nursing...or whatever it is. It is so extremely biased toward breastfeeding, which is no surprise. I'm just taken aback that they call formula feeding "artificial feeding". Come on...
Anyway, it's got some good pointers in there. I am in the middle of the first chapter which talks about the first weeks of breastfeeding. I'm hoping to retain as much as possible, without reading too far in advance.
I finished that spindle whatever book. That was a huge waste of time. A friend made me borrow it because she said it was the best book ever. So nms.
I haven't started anything new yet.
I finished Enemies, A Love Story. It was good, entertaining, but not a favorite.
I'm currently reading: The Stay-at-Home Survival Guide, The No-Cry Sleep Solution, and Babylove. I want to start a new novel, too.
I am always late to this thread, lol. I read Stigmata by Phyllis Perry and I read The Clutter Cure by Judi Culbertson. I was using The Clutter Cure to help me organize the part of the house we are in. I was really into Stigmata and read it in a day, but it had a really disappointing and ambiguous ending. I am actually kind of upset by that, especially considering how much I liked the rest of the book.
I am reading Happiest Toddler on the Block now. We have had the DVD out from Netflix for over a month and only watched it once... and keep forgetting to send it back! It was good and we are using some things from it, but I wanted a more in depth explanation of some of the principles.
I still need to finish The Successful Child, but I got sidetracked by reading the Twilight books, including the online Midnight Sun which is the drafted partial book Edward's version of Twilight - which I read twice - I'm obsessed. (42-45.5). I also read Anne Rice's newest novel Angel Time (46), and DH is reading The Lost Symbol to me, and I am now starting Rice's Sleeping Beauty trilogy (47-49).
