No I'm not giving you a vocabulary lesson, but I learned this word in one of my books last night and it applies perfectly to this post.  Plus, its fun to say so I may start working it into regular conversation ;) As most of you know, I have had the luxury of being out of work for quite a while now.  2 weeks over Christmas plus 6 days this past week.  Big surprise, while I've had all of this free time I've been doing ALOT of reading.  A few of you are always asking me what I am reading or what books I think you would like so I decided to do a little book review post before I go back to work and no longer have the time to check out 15 books at a time from the library.

1. My wonderful hubs got me this set of Sookie Stackhouse books for Christmas.  I read 1-8 in no time and I am dying to pick up #s 9 and 10 as soon as I can find them.  The show True Blood on HBO is based off of these books so if you're not into vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural things you may want to give these a pass.

 

2. I stumbled on a trilogy at the library the other day that I really really liked.  These books fall into the cowboy/romance novel variety so again, if thats not your bag you may want to skip them.  I loved all three of them though.

3. I happened to be wandering down the H aisle and ran into a section of Kristin Hannah books.  I have loved ALL of her books so far so if you haven't read Firefly Lane, True Colors, etc. I definitely recommend them.  But I was excited when I found one that I hadn't read yet...this one falls into the historical fiction/mystery category and it goes back and forth from World War II to the present.

So, if you get a chance to pick any of those up let me know what you think!  Do any of you have any good book suggestions for me?  I am about to head to the library this afternoon....
