  I've read Two of Ina May's books (Guide to Childbirth, and Birth Matters). 
  
  I'm currently on The Silent Wife-  For those who love Gillian Flynn, it's said to be similar.  I'm only a little ways in, but so far so good. 
  
  I also just finished (guilty pleasure) the 3rd book in the Crossfire series.  I'm only partly ashamed to admit I love 50 Shades-esque books. 
  

  
  
  
  TTC since 2008
  Dh:34, no issues.  Me:31, Endo, slightly hypothyroid, deformed ovary, paracentric inversion.
  4 Gonal-F, Cetrotide, HcG, Crinone +TI cycles= all BFN
  Lap in 2012 to remove large unresolving cyst discovered endo and double lobed ovary.
   6 Gonal-F, Cetrotide, HcG, Crinone IUI cycles= All BFN,

  Our beloved baby boy was born sleeping Oct. 13, 2013 due to pROM/IC/Uterine infection.

  YES! Sylvia Day is the author of the Crossfire trilogy- Bared to You, Reflected in You and Entwined With You. (she has a lot of other single novels that are so-so) and the author J.Kenner also has a trilogy- Release Me, Claim Me, Complete Me.
  
  Pretty much the same characters as 50 Shades, lol. Love it.

  I'm reading 4 books right now. "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" "The Vaccine Book", "The Baby Book" and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. 

  
  

  I'm also in the middle of the 3rd Crossfire book too, and keep having to put it down because I'm so busy with work and getting ready for little man's arrival. 

  
  

  Apparently my reading list makes me look really ADD, lol.
