I just finished The Alchemist. I love this book, and the message is exactly what I need right now for dealing with this IF b/s.
I started The Wall, yesterday. The 2nd book in The Woodlands series. Nothing to say about it (yet) I hope it's not as boring as The Woodlands :P
I have a lot of favorites, but if I have to pick just one, I always go with Gone With The Wind- it is my all time favorite because my Grandmother LOVED the book, and she was kind enough to share her favorite thing with me. I love that I could love something she loved so much Sentimental shit. HA.

@mrscastillo I LOVE Gone With the Wind! Hmmm maybe I should read that instead of Divergent again...

I am currently trying to finish Mockingjay (for over a month now). Work has been so crazy lately that when I get home, I feel like a zombie and reading seems really hard.
I am also a Harry Potter nerd and like @Jen071407 could read the series over and over. :-B
BFP #1 12.24.07 - DD born @ 39w1d on 08.26.08 BFP #2 08.04.11 - DD born still @ 37w3d on 03.25.12
So I haven't finished reading anything... I think the last book I read was Charlotte's Web to Dd8. Tonight (or very soon) we are starting the first of the Harry Potter books. And also yes, The Book Thief was hands down one of my favorite books evah! (haha autocorrect changed "evah" to evap)
I tend to read cheap (or free on my Kindle) romance novels. Recently read an interesting series on Mail Order brides, love historical ramances.
My favorite book is Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm...have loved that book since I first read it in like 6th grade. Recently, I have really enjoyed the Fairie Path books by Frewin Jones.
DD conceived after 3 years of ttc.
MFI - DH had varicocele repair and took Clomid to get DD b. 02/2010
TTC #2 since 6/2010 10/2012 DH diagnosed with Epilepsy A few failed IUIs summer 2012 and 2013. DH taking clomid and waiting to see if he needs another vericocele repair. Hoping for a 2015 baby or babies. Wishing, hoping, waiting.
I think I read one chapter this last week. I am still reading The Body Thief by Anne Rice, and I just read yesterday that she is writing another book with the Vampire Lestat in it. (If anyone cares LOL) I have been lame at reading.
I really liked the book 'If Tomorrow Comes' by Sidney Sheldon and that book always sticks out, BUT I love anything from Sidney Sheldon.
Right now, DH is reading The Hollow City to me and DS in the evenings when as a part of our bedtime routine. DH and I used to read books together taking turns reading out loud, but now that we have a baby, DH usually does the reading while I nurse in the evenings. It's one of my favorite times of the day. The Hollow City is the sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It's a really fun read. And it's a super easy read as well.
I'm not sure yet what we'll read next. But my mom just finished the Book Thief and said she really liked it, so maybe I'll borrow that from her.
My all-time favorite book is the Red Tent. It's a historical fiction about the wives of Jacob in the Bible. So it's about Leah and Rachel and the daughter Dina who in the Bible was raped but in the novel there is a different explanation of what really happened. It's my favorite book because it's about sisterhood and motherhood and it's a love story, too. It brings me to tears in almost every chapter! Probably read it half a dozen times.
Happily Mrs. C

I was so busy with wedding stuff I had a friend pick my copy up at midnight.
Then on my wedding day my friend brought the copy to me. We had just had our BEER STOLEN out of the church hall (who steals from a church?!) so I had another friend hang onto for me throughout the ceremony because I was afraid it would get stolen too. Lmao.
I spent my honeymoon reading it on the beach - DH was not happy because it was taking up sexy time lol.
