let's talk books, shall we?
pool season is just weeks away and i cannot wait to grab a book and lounge by the pool and try to tan my paleness away. i'm hoping you've got some good pool read suggestions, because my to-read list is dwindling fast.
here's a few things that i've read lately that i highly recommend.
"Black Heels to Tractor Wheels"-this would make a great beach/pool read if you need one yourself.
"One Thousand Gifts"- beautifully poetic.
"Breaking the Silence"- thanks Erin for the recommendation...could not put it down!
"House Rules" also good.
"The Art of Dancing in the Rain"- my book swap buddy loaned this to me and so far loving it. i have a strong feeling i'll be needing some kleenex the further i get into it.
so what's been on your list? i have to admit i really am digging any chick lit and a good ole' patterson like mystery. for some reason i always like to read those by the pool to drown out the screaming kiddos ha!
also find me here on goodreads...love this site!

I LOVED The Art of Dancing in the Rain. You will need kleenex. Just saying. :)
I really want to read Black Heels to Tractor Wheels!
If you haven't read the Millenium Trilogy yet, read those! They aren't "light" reading, but the mystery-ish story line sucks you in!!
good Chick lit..Something Borrowed, the movie is coming out soon. There is also Something Blue, He Loves Me, He Loves me Not, and a couple others.
If you haven't read Water for Elephants, I highly recommend.
If you check out my blog I rate the books that I have read, on the side.
I can't wait for pools, laying out, and relaxation ;)
I don't know you if you like Nora Roberts but I'm currently reading the Sign of Seven trilogy (just finishing the first one) & it is really good - mystery with some romance mixed in. The Born In trilogy is good too.
I agree with Something Borrowed and any Emily Giffin book she is great!
Chick Lit?
I'm more of a memoir girl, but I'll bite anyway.
I'd say "The Help" is a must-read, but you've probably already devoured that one.
If you were into memoirs, I'd send you rolling through the pages of "Lit" or "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" -- the latter is exactly as it is titled. It's by Dave Eggers, and if his fiction is anything like his memoir, I might return to fiction reading. yeah. He's calling me back into that world.
I'm spending a good bit of time in Anne Lamott's "Travelling Mercies" which I think you'd like. It's an honest, bare, raw look at faith. And her writing is musing and conversational.
