Reading Rainbow :)

I know right, I go for what months with no posts and now 2 within days of each other. Blame it on the new meds I guess, lol. Anywho, I thought that since all I do really is work and read that I would share some of my most recent samplings.

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella - LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. I didn't think she could write anything better than the Shopaholic books but I think this one might top it. It is a very touching and funny story, you know the kind where you are laughing through your tears sort of thing. It is not like some I have read that are horrible gut wrenching, slit your wrist sad or anything. It is definitely a good summer read

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick - I stumbled on this book by accident and couldn't put it down. It is so deliciously dark and brooding and gothic. It starts out as what appears to be a typical mail order bride, turn of the century story that quickly gets turned on its head. About halfway through, you will stop and say, NO WAY, that did not just happen. Be warned, these are not happy shiny people. The story will draw you in totally though. I think I read this one is like 3 days. Really good stuff !!

Savannah Breeze and Savannah Blues by Mary Kaye Andrews - Here is another lady that has never written anything I didn't love. She is just laugh out loud funny. The characters in these books are the same ones that were in Blue Christmas. Love me some Bebe and Wheezie. I think I am so Wheezie with her junking habit. I would so have a shop like hers if I could. I hope that Mrs. Andrews writes more about these fun folks. The Loudermilks are just the funniest old folks EVER, lol.

the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon - Dear lord Shann, I could kill you for getting me so obsessed with a 7 book series where each book is like 850 pages, LOL LOL. I may never get out of Scotland. Of course, if I get to stay with Jamie Fraser, it would be so worth it. I am totally in mad love with these books. Despite the fact that some may disagree with me, I find Jamie to be ALMOST as swoon worthy as some vampires. (Please note Amelia I did say almost ) I am about to die to go to Scotland and find me some stones to fall through, lol. I just finished the 2nd book and I am about 150 pages into the third one. It is really good so far. I feel like I will be fluent in Gaelic by the time I am done. For a hopelessly romantic history nut like myself, you don't get much better than this.

Somewhere in the middle of all this I still find time for all my trashy fan fiction (an abnormally large amount) plus the 40 some odd magazines I think I can't live without, lol. I have also started rereading Eclipse before the movie comes out (3 weeks from today !!!!) and I would like to read that new Bree Tanner book before then too. Guess I better get started. Chow for now :)
