Sorry for being a PW today (Book Recs. please!)

Can you tell I'm lacking motivation at work?

Anyway, I'm buying e-books for my Kindle for vacation next week.  I think I'm going to get Water for Elephants, The Help, and Bossy Pants.  Has anyone read these and how did you like them?

    Water for Elephants - AMAZING

    I'm halfway through The Help right now and it is awesome

    Are you on Goodreads?  Sometimes I like to see what other people are reading, it gives me good ideas.

    Hunger Games and Memoirs of a Geisha are some of my other recent faves.

    those are all on my list too!

    like I said in the poll below, I haven't read in a while. I really need to get back into it!

    I loved both The Help and Water for Elephants. I would def highly recommend both-if I had to choose, I'd prob go with The Help. I have not read Bossy Pants.

    Water for Elephants is on my list too.

    Bossy Pants and The Help were both awesome.  I just read the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, which I really liked and Faith by Jennifer Haigh was also good.  Along the same lines as Bossypants are the books by Jen Lancaster.  I read Bitter is the New Black, but I've heard her others are good too (they're definitely beach reads vs anything intellectual!)

    LOVED The Help!!  Also, Water for Elephants but liked The Help better.  Haven't read the third choice.

    I'm a Jodi Picoult fan, and loved her newest one, Sing You Home.

    I'm late to this party but for beach reads I love Jane Green books- swapping lives and Gemma J were two of my faves (but bookends, mr. maybe- were also good)
