Huh.....

Book Recommendation

It seems like every year I pass through at least one book that I add to my 'favorites list'. For a book to make it on my favorites list, it must grab me so crazily that I'm: thinking about it at work, reading it during my lunch hour, reading at the dinner table, reading it on the pot, in traffic, and finding excuses to sit and wait around -- JUST so I can read this wonderful book. I love these books that only come around every once and a while and invite themselves in to my life like a new best friend. I'm not ashamed to say that I like girly fluff books ~ so you can bet your IBN number that this book recommendation will fall under that category. (If you're a male reader, trying to find the key to girly fluff, click here!)

But before I get to to my latest find -- my list of Can't Live Without books is below.
(Not in any order)

• She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
• Watermelon by Marian Keyes
• Summer Sisters by Judy Bloom
• Saving Grace by Patricia Gaffney
• Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux
• Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells (Movie now)
• The Deep End of the Ocean by Jaquelen Michard (Movie now)
• Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts (Movie now)
• One Child by Tori L. Hayden
• The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks (Movie now)

Now most of you probably know that a few of these actually made the big screen -- but I assure you that I read the books first, and liked the books better then the movie. (Side Note: I hate it when Publishers take a novel and make it in to a movie and then change the original cover of the book from the nicely designed book cover to a gay movie scene! It ruins the book!)

My new recommendation to the world of girly fluff books is Angry House Wives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik. You do not have to be angry, a house wife, or enjoy Bon Bons to dig this book. It's yummy, it's light, it's funny, it's hormonal and thus everything a good girly fluff book should be. I personally find myself wanting to jump through the pages of the book and join the friendship circle of the Angry Housewives. I HATE putting it down and internally scold myself when I fall asleep reading it because I crave those words like a Kit-Kat bar during my period!

This book is good.

I hope you too can enjoy a few hours next to the pool with this literary amusement park!
