Reading Update

Update: I finished the books from my last post. Multiple Blessings was a quick read- 2 days tops. I waded through the Danielle Steel book. It had a different twist than her other books but still had that adult book feel. I am so used to young adult books that I have a hard time with adult books with complex plot and descriptive detail.

I used interlibrary loan for some of the titles on my summer reading list. I haven't done that since college when I needed articles for a research paper. We'll see how it goes. I only requested 3 since I was afraid I'd get them all at once and have to speed read.

We're leaving on vacation next week so I'll be scouring our public library to find a few for the road. I love road trip reading!

What I'm Reading Now

Just finished My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

RUN, don't walk, to your nearest book store or Wal-Mart and get this book! I haven't been this moved by a book in a long time. There is no way the movie will be better; read the book!

Picked up these today at the library:

Multiple Blessings- by Jon and Kate Gosselin
Despite their recent strife, I'm still fascinated with their lives.

Matters of the Heart- by Danielle Steel
I read EVERYTHING by her!

Leave me a comment with your suggestions for summer reading. I need to broaden my horizons so it's okay to suggest something other than vampires :)
