hello my friends! i am still here, but not quite 100% :) thank you again to you all for the get well wishes...they brighten my day! i rarely ever get a cold, but when i do they seem to linger for a very long time...anyway enough about that!i have always been a fan of a great read, but for some reason i have not spent much time lately diving into books (it might be because i've been rather busy, but i hate to make these kind of excuses...even though i just did!!). i am in desperate need of some inspiration and would love to hear about what you are reading these days and what you might suggest for me :)
xoxo

p.s. doesn't that image above just want to make you read?!?
I havent read anything in awhile either. I saw a trashy romance in the store the other day and almost bought it. Hmmm...maybe I'll go back.
ReplyDeleteRead Jodie Picoult books! They're amazing. My favorite is Handle With Care. I'm also a big fan of Sarah Desson, her books are cute :) I'm in a bunch of Children's Literature classes right now, so even though I'm reading a TON, I'm in desperate need of an adult book haha!
ReplyDeletehere are some of my favorites!: the big sleep [raymond chandler]--a mystery. ida b [katherine hannigan]--middle grade/ya. last buckaroo [mackey hedges]--a western. these are all different books depending on what you're in the mood for. check out my goodreads to see more, i can't list all the good ones :)

i'm a big time kitchen whore - and just finished reading Paula Deen's: It Ain't All About The Cooking!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised - I mean its probably not ever gonna be the best seller, but it really makes you stop and think that ANYTHING in this world is possible - you just have to try. <3 she gets and A+ in my book.
My daughter has been after me for years to read "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist". I finally gave in a couple of weeks ago and finished it in one sitting. It's a neat little book with a great storyline and a fantastic ending!
ReplyDeleteI agree with perfect peace! Jodi Picoult is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI also suggest the Hunger Games series!!! It's sooooo good. You'll like it :) I'm on book two right now and it's awesome.
Also, I would suggest this book probably before any other... BET ME, by Jennifer Crusie. I even blogged about it ((way back when)):

Hope you have a lovely day dear.
Hey lovely.. Funny you mention reading. I'm going to be doing a post about my reading adventures soon or lack there of and a certain bet I didn't win with the hubby. hee hee...
ReplyDeleteBut here are a few idea's for you..
Eat Pray Love
Holiday's on Ice - David Sedaris
Safe Haven - Nicholas Sparks
Hope your day is lovely!
All your images are so romantic...I wish I had time to read, if I did I'd read the True Blood series...I heard they're pretty steamy.
ReplyDeleteHope you get better soon.
i've been making a list of books i want to read for awhile!! it's so hard though! most of them are movies that I love that were books first.
ReplyDeleteand that's so cool that your middle name is Brooke! my middle name is nicole, and i always wanted to start the school year being nicole instead of brooke, but now i'm glad i didn't! lindsay and brooke are both names you don't hear everyday, so it makes us unique :)
<3, brooke
If you like cheesy but exiting vampire novels I would like to recommend 'The Black Dagger Brotherhood' -- very addictive series!
ReplyDeleteAnd get well soon :)
i love to read
ReplyDeleteOh, I love to read too! If you haven't read The Help, by Kathryn Stockett, run (don't walk) to get it. I am reading The Icing on the Cupcake right now..it's a quick, fun one. I am about to start The Year We Disappeared (I think that's the title) which is a father/daughter memoir about living in hiding to protect their family from a criminal. Sad..but heard it's wonderful and the kids at school are reading it in English. :) Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteI miss reading. If you pick up something good, let me know! Have you read The Help? Everyone I know loves it so much.
