Well this last week or so has been very tough on me. But, with some extra time on my hands I read quite a bit.
It got me thinking. If you read alot, look back at the last 5 or 6 books you chose to read. What does it say about your state of mind?
First I finished reading "Voodoo Dreams" for my book club. Not as dark as you would think. Then again, I do have a fondness for that stuff.
Next I tried to read "Wicked"...and couldnt get past page 3. It is just not a good thing to read when you are down
Which led me to "Such a pretty fat". I love this book and author Jen Lancaster. She is so honest and witty. Several times my SO gave me the crazy face because I was laughing to myself without realizing it
Next I tore through "The Persian Pickle Club". Its actually about a quilting group and their not so innocent times. Very good if you need to be distracted and warmed.
Today I finished yesterdays book "The Guernsey literary and potato peel society". Very impressed. The style of writting made me unsure of how enjoyable it could be to read. I could read many more of them.
My next book (now that I am happy again) is "The Time Travelers Wife". Its pretty thick, so that might take me a few days extra to read, but I hear so much good about it.
