After I finish a good book I think about it for days and wish that there were someone else I could talk to about it. Then I saw a column that Centsational Girl does on her blog called “On the Nightstand.” What a fantastic way for me to share what I’ve been reading! So, once a month-ish (it may be more, it may be less) I’ll update you on what I’ve read and would love for you to give me your reading suggestions. How does that sound? I call the “column”…
My reading comes and goes and ebbs and flows sometimes. Take now for example. I'm definitely ebbing. It was a different story in January. I was totally flowing. I read seven books during January (7!). But this month I haven't even finished one. But here are the two that I'm working on.
Divergent by Veronica Roth - I'm sure if you guys haven't read this one yet, then you've at least heard of it. I really liked it the first time I read it and knew my husband would too. But he refuses to read fiction (weirdo) so I've started reading it to him. We had to do the same thing with Hunger Games. He refused to read it, but ended up really liking it after I read it out loud to him. I gives us a good break from all the night time tv watching we normally do, too.
The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin - I've just started this one (i'm only a few chapters in) but I'm already loving it. Last summer my sister and I went to The Biltmore Estates in North Carolina on a girls trip. When we got home Sue bought this book because we were both so interested in the era and the life these people lead (was it really the way they portray it on the mansion tours?). She really liked it so she passed it on to me over Christmas. It is awesome. the review on the cover says that it's an "instant tonic" for anyone suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I can't attest to that (i'm afraid to start watching because i know my life will go down the toilet until i catch up), but it is an awesome read so far. I recommend it.
How about you? Read anything good lately?
