Bookshelf

Here's a quick update of what I've been reading recently...

I finally got on the bandwagon and read this book.  I really liked it even though I felt like it didn't have much of a plot after the first few chapters.  I could have read a few hundred more pages about Aunt Tootie's crazy nice house in Savannah.  Oletta also reminded me of my grandmother a lot.

This book was a super easy read and didn't have much substance (but sometimes that's okay).  Basically it's about a teenage girl dealing with her parents divorce, moving around a lot and somehow falling in love along the way.   I read it in about a day.  I'm glad I didn't spend any more time than that on it.

This book was okay, but was a little long and got boring towards the end.  A young professional woman breaks up with her boyfriend who is a writer.  He writes some bad stuff about her in a magazine and about 100 pages later she ends up pregnant.  I really thought it would be better than that, but it wasn't.

This book made me really glad that I don't have any food allergies.  This is the true story of a lady that is allergic to pretty much everything and how she deals with it.  I really had no idea that cantaloupe could make someone's throat swell up so much that they almost die.

What good books have you read recently?

  3. I'm super behind on my reading. :) I haven't read any of the books you describe but have been seeing both "What Happened to Goodbye?" and "Good In Bed" and have considered reading both. Now I think I won't bother with "Good In Bed"...though I love how you said "about 100 pages later, she ends up pregnant". Hilarious.
