That's What She Read

Did another month seriously already go by?  Thanks to my Gilmore Girls binge, I didn't think I would get as many books read this month but I managed just fine. And by managing I mean totally slacking on any household chores, laundry or proper meals. But hey, priorities. Am I right? But alas, a true book worm never gives up. So here it is, my list of WONDERFUL reads that happened in October.  Happy Reading!  Practical Magic: Because Halloween. As magical as the movie and its soundtrack.   Good as Gone: I passed on this one about 1/3 of the way through, for some reason it just didn't grab my attention and my ADHD forced me to moved on to other books that I was looking more forward to.  The Wangs vs. The World: This is fun family trip with the Wangs, who are on the run from financial ruin.

It's the best of all things!  I've put the books I read in May into 2 groups: First, that ones I would very highly recommend and am still thinking about, weeks after finishing them:  I posted my review for Sweetbitter last week, so be sure to check out my...

This weekend we spent 2 days at my sister's house and I am in one of those  I need to sleep in my own bed, my kids are crazy hang overs.  But I did manage to browse through some of my magazines to try and  find some books that peeked my interest.  I have found that my goodreads.com "to read" shelve has gained a few pounds since I started this weekly round up! I am going to have to either quit my job or start getting up earilier if I really think I'm ever going to read all these books! (Don't tempt me with a great time!) To be honest, a couple of the books that People featured this week didn't sound interesting at all. Or maybe I was too distracted by all of the romantic gift ideas they had. I'd actually like way more to talk about those than books. I do what what I want, whatever. So check out these ideas that made me swoon: 1) Personalized love letter necklace from RedEnvelope.com Source: gifts.redenvelope.com via Jennife...
