Let's talk books....

I'm looking over my eWish list for my Nook and none of them sound good anymore.

What are you reading? What do you want to read? Or, what would you suggest getting next?

I personally always suggest Jennifer Weiner books, Marian Keyes books, P.S. I Love you, Jennifer McMahon and Lorna Landvik have a few good ones as well.

I hopped onto a couple of bandwagons and read The Hunger Games recently before seeing the movie. I enjoyed it. I've started the second book of that trilogy and just kinda hit a wall and got busy/lazy.

I started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but just couldn't get into it (after 3 times of trying). I saw the movie and I'm glad I didn't read the book. There was a scene in the movie I couldn't watch and heard it was even worse in the book.

Nicholas Sparks books are good for a quick read. *shrug*

I was a pretty avid reader until Ds was born.If I liked a book I could inhale it in mere hours if it was 500 or less pages.Since having DS I really have'nt had the time.I started reading a 300page novel while I was in the hospital and could'nt believe it took me a month to finish it.

LOL read all of those. Loved the Hunger Games, couldn't put them down. I read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy and had to struggle to finish, but over all liked it. I think I know what scene you're talking about and it's much much worse in the book. Nicholas Sparks, I've tried many times, many different books but I can't get into them....

I just finished "The Bronze Horseman" and "Tatiana and Alexander" by Paullina Simons. I'm waiting for my mom to finish the third book, "The Summer Garden" so I can read it. They are ignore your kids good!

This is me exactly! I have read the hunger games since LO but that's about it. I finished those quickly but I ignored my house and stayed up way too late

Now I'm kinda tempted to start reading that 50 shades of grey.. Just because of all the hype.

christopher moore is very funny, and an easy read. Lamb is my favorite!

I've recently read:

The Hunger Games Trilogy

Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares (I read the first 4 Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books a few years ago)

Two Kisses for Maddy by Matt Logelin

I'm currently reading Safe Haven by Nicolas Sparks and I have his newest, The Best of Me, to read next.

Some others I like:

Water for Elephants, The Art of Racing in the Rain, The Dogs of Babel, Anything by Nicholas Sparks, The Host, Twilight Series and Anything by Emily Giffin. James Patterson wrote some love story books that I really liked to; Jennifer's Letters for Sam, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, Sunday's at Tiffany's.

Just finished:

I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids by Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile

Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein

The first I recommend. The second I recommend with some reservation (way too feminist for me but there are a lot of roses among the thorns)

So far this year I've read:

Game of Thrones (George Martin)

Dreams of Joy (Lisa See)

Total Money Makeover

Baby Led Weaning, The Essential Guide to Introducing Solid Foods

If you're into historical fiction, I strongly recommend Philippa Gregory. I've read and re-read almost all of her books. They are so good!

This one is on my list too. The second one in the series is comingout soon.

lemonJAM · April 2012

Right now, I'm finally reading The Help. It's so good, I'm not sure what took me so long to get around to it.

Game of Thrones is awesome but long, Snowflower and the Secret Fan is great, Jodi Picoult is always good but so dang sad.

skipperkelly · April 2012

I'm always looking for something to read while I'm pumping at work. Great thread!

I'm a big fan of Sophie Kinsella. Her Shopaholic series always made me laugh and they were easy reads.

Right now I'm reading Bloom by Kelle Hampton. She has a blog called "Enjoying the small things" that I'm sure people on here have heard about. I can't put the book down, especially now that I'm a mom.

I love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Quick, fun reads!!
