bookish (part one)

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009


(no, this is not my bookshelf but damn, I wish it were)

I know I’ve mentioned the library a lot lately and that I’m flying through books. This is what happens when I have a lot of time on my hands. I read read read.

Well I’m hoping soon that I land a job and won’t have this much time on my hands. Because I am SO ready to get my hands on a new project and dig in. I would like more of a challenge than deciding what stack of books to hit next.

But for the moment, especially while I’m going through 3-4 books a week and really enjoying it, I thought I’d start posting what I read once a week. Also because so many of you have been asking what I’ve been reading too!

In the past two weeks, I’ve done mainly chick lit which is probably why I’ve been going through them so fast. So here we go by author –

Jennifer Weiner

Meg Cabot

Janet Evanovich

Jen Lancaster

I really loved Meg Cabot’s The Queen of Babble series. Some great quick reads right there. I’m waiting for one more book in her Heather Wells series to come in and then I’ll start those. I wasn’t particularly impressed with She Went All the Way and Every Boy’s Got one. But that’s chick lit for you, it’s a hit or miss.

As for the Janet Evanovich book, I don’t think I’m feeling her Stephanie Plum series. I think it’s the way she writes. It was very hard for me to get into but since I’ve heard so many good things, I picked up the next two in the series. We’ll see how book two goes and if I want to continue.

I’m sure I’ll have more to report back on next week in the book department.

As always if you have suggestions, let me know. As you can see, I just can’t get enough reading material right now!
