Spring Reading…

by Heidi on March 25, 2008

This goes along quite well with my post from yesterday about the book club I’m trying to form. I saw on my blog roll thanks to this gal an awesome lil contest called Spring Reading Thing

I have a lot of books I want to read this spring, especially to catch up on my 100 in ’08 goal since I got held up in March. I’m up to 10. However! At least i figured out a trick to getting through them faster…My books I want to read between now and June 19th.

    You should add “Remember Me’ by Sophie Kinsella. I just read it and it is a very entertaining read!

    So is this an online reading group? If so I’d love to join! If not, have fun anyways!

    I just picked up Eat, Pray, Love, I think tha’s the title…I was so mad this morning when I left it and had a 30min bus ride with NOTHING to read. Hmph.

    13. Something Blue by Emily Giffin

    This is a great idea…Can I count a book if I’m halfway through it? How about if I read it over the weekend???

    The Shopaholic series is so funny- they are making it into a movie actually, with Isla Fisher (is that her name? the girl married to Borat)

    Add some Jodi Picoult to your list, she’s amazing!

    Loving 20x a Lady! I’m about 3/4 the way through, and Karyn Bosnak is my new friend on MySpace LOL. Emily Giffin’s books are great too. She’s got a new one coming out soon – April maybe?

    I feel bad about my neck by Nora Ephron was sooo funny!! I didn’t think I would be able to relate to this book, since I figured she would be talking more about aging/being an older woman…but i was WRONG! after reading the book, I went to the library and read some of her older essays about life and they are just as funny and timeless. Love Ms. Ephron!!

    p.s. the stuff she wrote about women and red coats tickled me and confused me at the same time. let us know what you think when you read it!!

    I didn’t really like swapping lives. Have you read Jemima J? It’s by jane green too and so so much better. The perfect manhattan was AWESOME so you should read that one soon and something borrowed was great too. I’m a big fan of the whole shopaholic series. wish we lived closer so we could swap books! I am crazy about buying them then never reading em.

    For recommendations I’d go with Singletini or The Washingtonienne (which you’ve probably already read)

    Just stopping by to thank you for being part of the Spring Reading Thing. I’ve heard that the Shopaholic books are great, but I have to admit I haven’t read any of them yet. So many books, so little time. Enjoy your spring reading!

    Glad I could help you join in on all this. :) Let me know which books you end up liking best, because if I can finish the books on my list I’ll need new ones!
