I am on a book spree!

Amazon.com is such a dangerous place. When I am bored and craving a good book... there I go!

With the click of a button I can have all sorts of books on my doorstep for whatever suits my fancy that day...

I finished the Twilight series by Stephanie Myer
I passed it onto a friend who polished off the books in about two weeks.
I was at the spa, getting a pedicure with said friend and look over at a lady reading a book. I only saw one word on her page, asked what she was reading... sure enough.. Twilight! I hear it has outsold Harry Potter! That is awesome!

Now.. downstairs.. waiting for my reading pleasure is Angela's Ashes. Has anyone else read this? What did you think?

On order I have:
Hip Tranquil Chick by Kimberly Wilson
Journal to the Self by Kathleen Adams
Girl Seeks Bliss by Nicole Beland

I guess I am on a self discovery kick lately. Anyone else have some "Must Reads" to suggest? I am all ears....


In other news... One of my best friends had her baby Tuesday. What an overwhelming thing and what a little miracle this little girl is! It was a schedule C section.. so we had half the day to do as we please. We started off by breakfast at IHOP (she had to stop eating at 9am) that only succeeded in turning her hubby all shades of green while his sister talked about her C section just a few months ago. Poor guy! And of course... this baby couldn't come into the world without mommy and auntie Jenn having the cutest feet ever! I thought the poor asian lady at the nail place was going to have a fit when we walked in. She asked my friend when she was having the baby and was told "TODAY!" She told my friend she should just go have the baby! hehe...

Well..I am off to enjoy a long hot bath complete with Enya and bath salts followed by a wonderfully relaxing slumber. Love and hugs to all!

3 books in 4 days!

I happen into the bookstore the other day. BAD idea. I am thinking I am going to walk out with a quick read to distract me for a couple hours and instead I find THIS.
I walk up to the display as the cover intrigues me. (Don't always listen to "don't judge a book by its cover") I walk over to examine to have two girls that are a year or two younger than me walk straight through the front door and hasten to the display. I watch through the corner of my eye as they rush for the 3rd book and ask how they felt about the series. One girl grinned excitedly while the other exclaimed "let me put it this way... I started the first book on my plane from Seattle yesterday morning and here I am buying the 3rd book!"
OK! So I bought the first book to test the waters. I let it set and start it about 5pm the next day. At 10:30 I closed it. I was really kicking myself for not buying two and three at that point. So at lunch I went and bought the next two. They just sucked me in! (no pun intended) I pretty much got nothing done for 3 1/2 days except going to work, sleeping and reading. Thank goodness I don't own dogs.. they might have starved by now. (joking people... just joking)
The fourth book doesn't come out for a year, A WHOLE FREAKIN YEAR!!! UGH!!! Talk about drive me out of my mind.

Guess I am going to have to read the Anita Blake Series by Laurell K Hamilton again to keep me distracted for a couple of weeks and go from there.
