My goal this year is 50. I've already made use of my library card, and I have some of my own sitting on my shelf that I haven't yet cracked open, so I think I'm set for now. But, I'm always taking recommendations! Maybe I'll come back and use this post to keep track of what I've read. So far this year I've finished:
1. The Princess Bride by William Goldman (Love)
2. The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham (Ok, Chick-Lit beach read)
3. Wifey by Judy Blume (kinda smutty)
4. The Red Tent by Anita Diamant (interesting, but felt long)
5. Celebutantes by Amanda Goldberg & Ruthanna Khalight Hopper (this book was just as stupid as it sounds. It was painful to get through. I hated it)

Yikes! I'm already getting behind! Read faster Marissa! Faster!
Is that a new book by Madeleine?? I havent read that one yet.
ReplyDeleteYup! I think it's pretty new. It's cute. Not as great as the Shopaholic series, but still a fun, fast read.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of good books you can borrow if you want. Just let me know. Off the top of my head I would say - "City of Theives" by David Benioff, "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, and "Water for Elephants" I can't remember the author of that one though. "City of Theives" was an amazing book though!
ReplyDeleteOooooh! I may need to borrow "City of Thieves". I have "Water for Elephants" (it's on my list of stuff to read) and I read "The Lovely Bones" years ago, but I haven't read "City of Thieves". Thanks Nic!
