Book Worm

The blog has been taking a back seat lately, things have gotten so crazy busy here with pet issues to traveling to craziness with my "real" job ( the full time one) and then keeping up with my side business (the creative, fun one). I have a whole stack of books that I'm really anxious to get through right now but I haven't had the time. Which is a bummer because I'm a total book worm.

Growing up one of my favorite things to do was go to our public library. I was lucky that I lived in a place that they had such a nice library for kids. They had a great big kid's section of books, toys that you can check out, and special programs every month. They also had a book reading club where once you read a certain number of books you won a free tote bag. Guess who still has her tote bag. Yup, this girl. And then of course there was the Book It! program at Pizza Hut. I wish I kept my Book It pin, that thing was loaded up with stars.

I really do love reading and still love when I find a book that is just sooo good that you can't stand the idea of putting it down. I came up with a list of books that I've really enjoyed recently. This isn't every book I've loved, just the more recent ones.

I really loved this book. It was such an interesting story. I grew up in the winter home of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus so a book about the truth about the circus was pretty interesting even if it doesn't always paint them in the best light. It was also interesting how they mention Ringing Brothers in the book. They are turning the book into a movie which makes me excited and nervous. Reese Witherspoon is in the movie and happens to be one of my girl crushes so that is very exciting. The guy from the Twilight movies is also in the movie which makes me less then thrilled. I'm sure I will see the movie I just don't have my expectations up to high with this one.

You really shouldn't be able to buy or borrow this book without a box, and I do mean a FULL box of tissues coming with it. I really loved this book. It's a big book and I still got through it in no time at all. It's such a good story about friendship and how relationships change. I HAD to call my best friend after reading this book because it made me miss her so much and also appreciate the awesome friendship that we have.

Classic chick lit book. I have read all but Emily Giffin's most recent book and this one was my favorite. She has a very easy reading style and while the storyline can be predictable I still like her books. Also being made into a movie.

I really enjoyed both of these books. She has a great writing style, one that I found myself just floating through the books with ease and being really disappointed when the books ended. I wanted to know more in each story. The two books are separate stories and characters. I was really bummed when I saw that she only had these 2 books.

So read a good book lately? Got one that you just really love? Are you a book worm too?
