The Baby Planner

It didn't end exactly the way I wanted it to; but that's alright (life is like that usually, isn't it?) You get what's best for you in the end (maybe not what you've been obsessing over...but what you need).

Ouch. What a metaphor for my life.

But ANYWAY - in other news, I could not put this book down. It made me introspective, I laughed, -- would definitely read this one (to most people - in most circumstances..not all). Probably not the book for you if you're having trouble having a child.

But overall, good read. Thumbs up.

Something Blue by Emily Giffin

A-ma-zing! I fell in love with Rachel from Something Borrowed, and HAD to know what happened to her ex-bff, turned arch enemy Darcy in this second installment. I loved to hate Darcy, the quintessential villian from my own adolescent years; it was vastly fulfilling to watch as she morphed into a different person entirely (predictable, yes - how could she turn out any differently?)- but charming and wonderful all the same. A great read! (If you're into Chic Lit, that is...)

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris



I had actually forgotten to post after finishing this one - but there are so many good books out there, it's hard to take time out from one before you're onto another. I LOVE the Sookie books - I credit a friend for getting me into them. This latest installment did not disappoint; however, it was not the shining addition I had hoped it would be. Towards the middle and end of the book, the plot did pick up and, as usual, I was drawn into the book merely because of what had come before it and my familiarity with the characters. A page turner because I needed to know what happened to the characters; it took me a while to get into it as a book on its own. A good read, nonetheless.
