That is so not true, it's just my time to let go of reality and jump into someone else's drama. So here is where I will spill on what I think about the latest chick lit I've read. Hey, maybe I'll even read something other then chick lit.Breanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094866619178258157noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583106273294161424.post-49089702012143461502008-01-06T21:02:00.000-08:002008-01-06T21:43:49.884-08:00Other books I read last year...and never posted my thoughts. One must read in my opinion is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jemima-Novel-About-Ducklings-Swans/dp/0767905180/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199682219&sr=1-1">Jemima J</a>, loved the story and Jean Green is an awesome writer, it was seriously hard for me to put this book down. Loved it. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Other-Woman-Jane-Green/dp/B000NJMMKO/ref=pd_sim_b_title_6">The Other Woman</a> was good, not great and not horrible. In the end it was a fun read. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lean-Mean-Thirteen-Stephanie-Novels/dp/0312349491/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199682343&sr=1-1">Lean Mean Thirteen</a>, well if you're a Stephanie Plum fan you've probably already read it, but if not and are planning too keep it on the list. You will not be disappointed. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Owners-Manual-Waist-Management/dp/0743292545/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199682431&sr=1-1">You on a Diet</a> is really a good imformative book. It's totally doable and I liked it a lot. The workout is quick but not easy, but again doable. I just finished <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bookends-Novel-Jane-Green/dp/0767907817/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199682597&sr=1-2">Bookends</a> and I liked it, it was funny, sad and had me guessing a lot. The beginning was a bit slow but that quickly changed and I couldn't stop reading. The characters are easy to relate too, especailly Cath. Jane Green is an awesome writer and I will keep reading her novels. Last night I just finished <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Deceptively-Delicious-Simple-Secrets-Eating/dp/0061251348/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199683056&sr=1-2">Deceptively Delicious</a> last night and although I have yet to try an recipes I fully intend too. It seems simple enough and a smart way to add all the right things to the girls and our everyday meals. After reading it I honestly felt like a horrible mother, although I know they eat OKAY this made me realize they really need more and for that I am glad I picked this book up! Now to just make the purees. <br /><br />Now on the night stand waiting to be read is...<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Story-Recapture-Mystery-Steven-James/dp/0800731131/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199683335&sr=1-3">Story</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Pray-Love-Everything-Indonesia/dp/0143038419/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199683369&sr=1-1">Eat, Pray, Love</a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Artist-Ali-Edwards/dp/1933516666/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199683400&sr=1-1">Life Artist</a> (on chapter 3 and am so inspired! so not suprised though)these outta keep me busy for a little while. ;)Breanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094866619178258157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583106273294161424.post-1547359392823321462007-07-05T21:01:00.000-07:002007-07-05T21:07:56.199-07:00Finally!<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/ryleeneely/shopaholic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>I've been waiting to read this book since it came out back in February (i think)got the library notice that it was waiting for me, got it and finished within 3 days. LOVED IT! But I'm a BIG Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood fan so no surprise there. I love British chick lit, has to be my fave books to read. She has got such a great writing style, totally knows how to keep you into the book. LOVE that! Just wish I knew how to pace myself so that I don't have to finish a book the day I start reading it. That has only happened once but this came pretty darn close, since I had read to chapter 7 until yesterday and finished the rest of the book by nights end. :) But when you're at your in laws ALL day with nothing to do but veg, swim and read then read i will!Breanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094866619178258157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4583106273294161424.post-84384692366605680262007-07-05T18:53:00.000-07:002007-07-05T21:01:34.341-07:00Quick fun read...<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/ryleeneely/backtothebed.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> Picked this up for $4 at target the day before we left for San Diego. Wanted a quick read for the beach. Stuck with an author I knew since I figured it's be good and of course it was. Very fast read, fun story, love JE's writing and there was a little mystery in there like the Stephanie Plumb books but not near the drama. Which was fine by me, I like the drama & love stories were both perfect! Overall great fun read.Breanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094866619178258157noreply@blogger.com0
