My bedside table tells you that I love to read. Also that my heels are really dry and I’m easily persuaded by medical-looking packaging for remedies. Oh, and that I have a stuffy nose.
I’ve disappeared into a literary wormhole… seriously. I’ve always been a reader but over the past month I’ve been like an addict searching for a fix. Thank god for the library, right? Otherwise I’d be strung out AND homeless while Amazon lived happily on not even noticing that every penny of my vast, vast (snort…) fortune was now resting happily in its little hands.
Here are my latest fixes… (In no particular order other than my remembering what I’ve read) I recommend every. single. one.
The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown
Steps and Exes by Laura Kalpakian
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Beauty, Disrupted by Carre Otis (SHUT UP. I have a weird fascination with the models of the 90s. They were around when I would sneak out of bed to watch Cindy Crawford on House of Style and I was obsessed with Elsa Klensch’s “Style” on CNN. Headline News? I don’t remember. It was before I got all fatty and my teeth moved back to being jacked up because I promptly had my braces off and chucked my retainer into a drawer and never thought twice about it. DON’T BE LIKE ME!)
Gatsby’s Girl by Caroline Preston
The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell Not sure why this one says the release date is September 2012 as it is sitting in my bookshelf and I have already read it… also the one book on this list that, while wasn’t BAD, was the most “meh” of the bunch. But I will ALWAYS read about Dr. Scarpetta, even though I kind of want to kick her in the teeth at this point.
So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman
The Soul Thief by Charles Baxter
Joy for Beginners by Erica Bauermeister
Of Bees and Mist by Erica Setiawan
A Grown-up Kind of Pretty by Joshilyn Jackson
The Face Thief by Eli Gottlieb
Now You See Him by Eli Gottlieb
Revenge of the Radioactive Lady by Elizabeth Stuckey-French
Your turn! What are you reading?
