Since life has slowed down (dramatically), I have thoroughly enjoyed starting to read for FUN again! It is so wonderful to be a bookworm again and not just a textbook worm. I am working my way to becoming a regular at the Enid Public Library. I am trying to broaden my lists of authors I read from per friend's suggestions, but sometimes I can't help but go back to author(s) I love so much and whose stories never disappoint. Here is what I have read so far this summer:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (sometimes a difficult read, but overall wonderfully written and a great suspense novel. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!)
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (hilarious and sarcastic. I certainly appreciated it much more now that I'm older and not a senior in high school.)
The Pact by Jodi Picoult (I love Jodi Picoult. Her characters are so real and I always have a hard time putting her books down. This one was no exception. Heart-wrenching and amazing all the same.)
Now, here are the ones I'm waiting to start!
Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult (suggested by my wonderful friend, Shane. It's waiting for me on my dresser as we speak!)
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty (suggested by another wonderful friend, Natasha. I've never heard of this book or the author...trying to branch out!)
The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson (I'm next on the waiting list at the library so hopefully I can start it in a few weeks.)
So, what do you like to read? Any suggestions for me?
The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a must read! I absolutely loved it. I'm currently reading Bossypants by Tina Fey and it's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love reading for fun too! A hilarious book you might want to add to your list is "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris. It is a collection of non-fiction essays about goings-on in Sedaris' life. I literally had to put the book down a few times because I was laughing hysterically and couldn't breathe. lol (this is Shane btw)
