Book-It

Happy New Year 2013!

To kick-off the year this year, why not kick-start it with a book review post (shocker, I know).

I finished a few books all written by the same author, Emily Giffin. As you may recall from my last post ages ago, I was going to start reading her first book of the duo - Something Borrowed. I read that book and then jumped right into the next book, and then the next. 

Something Borrowed

Something Blue

Baby Proof

I have also signed up to get two more of her books delivered to be from Paperback Swap. I have one of them already - waiting its turn on my bookshelf, and the other is on its way to me from somewhere in the USA. 

All three of these books were quick, not too exciting reads. Fluff reads. And wow, I must have a tendency to pick some rather slutty books lately - if you can call a book slutty. I mean geez - sex this and sex that...at one point or two during these books I had to check to make sure I wasn't reading 50 Shades of Grey or to make sure that no one was reading over my shoulder. wow. I am not sure why I feel compelled to read more of the author's work. The books didn't do a whole lot for me, but keep me interested slightly and let my brain totally wander and be "fluffed" for the short time they captured and held my attention (until I was finished reading them). Overall, pretty forgettable at the end of the day, so all three are sitting on the top of my SwapStack. Which, I must say, is getting rather tall under my desk - as in, it is almost TOUCHING the desktop from the floor underneath to the underside of the desktop. I need to unload some of these things fast. Might be time to stop by the "Little Free Library" that my friend told me is close to her house! Maybe take 4 or 5 of them over there and see if I can swap any of them out for something more entertaining to read that I have not read yet. You never know what you might find in those I imagine.

I am not sure what my next book will be on my nightstand, but as always, I have a healthy amount to choose from! But I imagine that stack will slowly transfer to the SwapStack and I will need to go in search of more books closer to spring or summer. Until then, Happy Reading!
