i read the lovely bones in a matter of hours. & already i can't sit still and want nothing more than to go to barnes & noble. so i think it's time for a reading list, informal, and updated frequently, of the books

i really must start reading. i don't remember when the last time i read a book was, let alone complete one!

[lachrymoselife]

oh it's perfectly fine. even i go through phases & get caught up in living.
this summer is just empty & i need something to fill in the nights that i find could be spent no better way than curled up with a book. :)

wow, you read such a wide variety of books. i wish i could sit still and read classics and the in-depth novels, but instead i'm just a sucker for contemporary romance, lol. the kind that you don't have to think about at all and usually has a happy ending. so in case you need any of those light weight books, i recommend:

jemima j. -jane green
the count of monte cristo -alexandre dumas
anything by meg cabot, she writes adorable books.

oh but i adore those books! i devour them, i even skipped class this year to read one of the shopaholic sequels because i thought i could learn more from that then my lecture.
they scream "beach reads" to me & i definately will scatter them in between the tougher books i hope to plow through, so thanks for the suggestions!
does meg cabot write the princess books? i can't recall exactly why her name is so familiar.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is an excellent book.

Also pretty much anything by Mary Higgins Clark is good. :)

[lachrymoselife]

[lachrymoselife]
