So...I'm not hanging out in the bathroom, or the laundry room, or the kitchen. AND I just finished my book. I have another book to read but we are headed out of town next weekend and I am saving it for the car trip. Also? Kinda feel like I am stuck in a sci-fi rut. All my books lately are science fiction or fantasy. Might need to branch out a little...and I totally would if I didn't find most non-fiction boring. Also, I don't like most of the books that Oprah deems "worthy." And no Nora Roberts. But other than that...
Tell me, ladies, what book should I read?
(I might make this a poll once I get a few responses.)

I am reading "Sarah's Quilt" right now---the second book in a series. The first one I posted about a while ago called "These is My words" Both VERY GOOD!!!! Read " these is my words" first. Or I also LOVEd " A thousand Splendid Suns." all of those books are on my top 10 list:)
Have you read the Devil Wears Prada? How about the Nanny Diaries? or Baby Proof by Emily Griffith I think is the author.
The entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy? The whole Anne of Green Gables? I have LOTS of ideas. I am serious biblophile.
I am totally into this Shannon Hale thing. I've read everything-my favorite is Goose Girl
Although I just finished Fairest by the lady who did Ella Enchanted.
Sorry Jessica, I am not a reader. Oh how I should be. But I just can't seem to get into the doing of it. I try to read what I have to, but that's it. I wait for them to become movies.
Cheater and I am always missing the really good reads.
Can my daughter comment here? She wants too.
I have been reading the Hannah Swensen Mysteries by Joanne Fluke. The books are easy reads and very clean. Hannah runs a bakery and also solves murder mysteries, the books are full of recipes. Probably not the best books to read while on a diet, but since you are pregnant who cares how many cookies you eat. I certainly won't judge you infact I will join you!
I recently read "Uglies" by Scott Westerfield and I actually liked it (although it's very unlike most books I usually like.) It's actually a young adult book- so a very easy read. It's the first in a set of 3, but so far I haven't liked the second one much.
I can't remember if you said you'd read "The Last Lecture" but I loved that-
I love easy read books, so I may not be of any help to you. But I just read the Boyleyn books. The Other Boyleyn Girl, The Boyleyn Inheritance. They were both great. I also really like Time Travelers Wife, Water for Elephants, Memory Keepers Daughter, The Plain Truth, I love the Heather Wells series, Size 12 is not fat and on and on. Right now I am reading the Stephanie Meyer series, and loving them so far. If I have to think too much I don't read it, but I do read all the time, that is what happens with five kids I guess....your brain turns to mush!
I really like the Children Of The Promise series. I also enjoyed Flags Of Our Fathers, and Ghost Soldiers, although the last two are pretty graphic with naughty words. I was stuck in a rut with the WWII books, but I'm such a nerd, I loved them! I am currently reading the Twilight series, and I'm not so sure I like them...
I'm just finishing The Book Thief, and it's amazing! All 500+ pages. (I'm a slow reader, but I've raced through this one.) Highly recommended.
Glad you have time to read again!
One of my all time fav's is :
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle By: AVI
It is a childrens novel, but I love it!!!
