#72 Something Blue by Emily Giffin
First book I've finished post baby. Fun and easy to read even in my sleep deprived state!
Thanks Dini! I have a feeling this might be as far as I get for some time but I'm pretty happy with my number overall!
#71 Grave Surprise by Charlaine Harris
Book #2 in the Harper Connelly series-definitley an enjoyable read. I finished this a few weeks ago (right before having my baby) but haven't been able to update.
#69 All Together Dead by Charlaine HarrisBook 7 in the Sookie Stackhouse series-I think I need a little break from these. They're still good but losing some of their luster.
#70 On Becoming Babywise by Gary Ezzo
Some stuff was helpful, other stuff was just ridiculous!
#67 Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
Interesting but it bummed me out.
#68 Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
Funny and bizarre.
#66 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg LarsonI wound up really liking this-definitely couldn't wait to see how it ended.
#65 Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris#1 in the series-not quite as good as the Sookie books but still entertaining.
#64 Garden Spells by Sarah Addison AllenGreat story, kind of reminded me of Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
#61 Choke by Chuck PalahniukTwisted but funny.
#62 Dead Babies by Martin Amis
Also twisted but not quite as funny or interesting in my opinion.
#57 Smashed Squashed Splattered Chewed Chunked and Spewed by Lance Carbuncle
Really funny but so twisted!
Thanks Lisa!
I had a busy week last week and a busy weekend so not much to add here. Did just finish#55 Marley and Me by John Grogan
I feel like the last person on earth to have read this-definitely sweet story.
Thanks Cherylann!
Thanks Cherylann but I'm not so sure! I'm having my second baby in September and don't know how much reading I'll be able to do for those first few months. With my son I think I made it through one book on my maternity leave and it was tiny! Things could be totally different this time around-basically I'm preparing for the worst and hoping for the best! That's why I at least wanted to get to 50 before the baby and then anything over that is gravy.
#53 Sarah's Key by Tatiana de RosnayGood but sad
#54 Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Not great even for a summer read.
