Since starting work on the Labor Unit, I quickly found that I was being pulled back into reading again. On weekends where things are fairly slow on the unit, the girls usually pull out a good book, relax, and read. It's a great break from a wild work week since it seems to be baby season right now. Though I've always enjoyed reading while traveling or relaxing on the beach, I've never really been a big reader. Well, besides trashy romance books. But I must say... I am LOVING it now!
It started with Water for Elephants. Not usually my type of reading, but I must admit I thought the book was great. Very entertaining.
Then I moved onto The Shack. My mom had read it and said it was wonderful, and a few girls at work said they read the whole book in one day because they couldn't seem to put it down. So I joined in, and I must agree...... wonderful book!!!! I highly recommend it -- it'll really make you stop and think....
Next, I decided to read up on baby suggestions. I tried reading Baby Wise, but I must be too stupid for that book. It seemed way over my head, and I just wasn't enjoying reading it. So...I read another book that a friend had recommended (Thank you Tracy J! I totally agree with you...it's so much better than Baby Wise!). It's called The Happiest Baby on the Block, and I absolutely loved it! I recommend it to any new (or about to me new) mom. I had to mark some of the pages though in case I forget a few tips before Braylin comes. :)
Out of Africa is next on my list. Well, actually it's the book that the book club group from work is reading, so I thought I'd try it out. I'm trying my best to get into it. I might just have to give up and watch the movie. But I'll try to give it time...
And lastly, I'm starting Twilight tonight. Honestly, when the book came out like four years ago I had no interest in it. It was written more for teenagers, and vampires haven't ever really done-it for me. But now with everyone talking about how good the movie is, I started thinking... And then Julie at work could hardly sit still talking about how much she loved the book... So I figure I'll give it a try. I know, Jennifer..... you're disappointed that I'm giving in. But no worries... if it's a good one, I think I can bring you over to the Twilight side too. :)
Guess I better get this love for reading on a roll -- once Braylin gets here I highly doubt I'll have much time for the books!
