current reading obsession

i've always been an avid reader, but since becoming a mom three years ago the time i can actually spend reading a good leisurely book has declined. now that my son is more independent and has developed interests that sometimes don't have to involve mommy 24/7 i've been able to get back into a reading groove.

i tend to lean more often then none to chic lit, but often do veer toward vampire love stories {i.e. the twilight series which i read in December of 2008} and other popular mainstream books {i.e. the hunger game series-I just love peeta}.

in the last month i've read two books by emily giffin, Something Borrowed and Something Blue.


if you haven't read these books, the first one may sound famliar. Something Borrowed was turned into a movie starring ginnifer goodwin and kate hudson not too long ago, plus as of lately they've been showing it on HBO a lot. as it goes, i read Something Borrowed because of the movie and then decided to read the "sequel" Something Blue.
each book focuses on one of the two female characters {rachel /darcy}as they go through defining moments in their lives. the books are easy reads, but chances are will get you addicted by the end of the first chapter.










since i loved giffin's first two books i decided to read yet another one. this next
 book is entitled baby proof, but has nothing to do with the other two books. i plan on starting reading it today and be done before the 25th because its due back in the library.


if i end up liking this book as well, chances are i'll read the rest of giffin's books.





any good girly books you'd reccommend?

you're right - so hard to get in reading time with kids ... it makes finding good books so important because we don't want to waste that precious time with duds! :)
