Oh, thank you for sharing some of your latest reads! I am always looking for a good book! I wish I had a good one to share. I can't wait for the third hunger games book!

Have you read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and "The Kite Runner"? Or "I Capture the Castle" and "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society". Also a few the I'd never heard of that were GREAT were "The Noticer" by Andy Andrews, "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana DeRosnay. I'm reading "Three Cups of Tea" right now and it was REALLY slow going and hard to get into after the first few chapters but it gets a lot better and I'm glad I stuck with it. Anyway! I know for me pregnancy is a good time to get lost in a good book to give yourself some downtime! Enjoy!

Just read another book that is now oh my favorites list. It's called "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. Such a fun mix of sort of a mystery and sort of a fairy tale but all sorts of fun! Thought I should mention too that A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner are both great books but kind of heavy material and in one of them, I think it might be Kite Runner, there is an event that is definitely less than pleasant to read about and pretty touchy and sensitive in nature.
