Hi! My sissy has started a pre-baby blog and I have immensely enjoyed keeping up with her via the typed words and inserted pictures. So, I’ve decided to write a little something today. Actually, I’m watching a Lifetime movie and thought I would distract myself from the cheesiness. Plus, my pumpkins aren’t quite ready to harvest on Farm Town so what’s left to do?
I thought I would update you all on my reading habits. I love reading and always have some sort of book handy to read in the bath, at the pool, or before bed. One of my favorite books is Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. It’s about three different friends in the 60′s and 70′s and basically they just do a lot of drugs, do a lot of guys, get famous, and then you read about how it all goes downhill. Well, I enjoyed that book so I did some research on the most amazing website ever, www.amazon.com, and found that there is a sequel called Shadow of the Dolls. It was written by someone else because the original author died before writing it. It still read like the original though. Apparently Jacqueline Susann left notes for it before she croaked. If you’ve read Valley of the Dolls, you’ll like Shadow of the Dolls.
I enjoy these raunchy love stories set in the 60′s and 70′s so much that I bought another one after Shadow of the Dolls. Although unrelated to any of the characters featured in the previously mentioned books, my next book proved to be just as good. The Love Machine was different because the main character is a man, Robin Stone. The whole book just follows him and his never-ending womanizing habits as he moves up in the world of TV production. It is nice and long, and has a happy ending. I enjoyed it!
So anyway people, read before you judge OK? When I finished The Love Machine, I chose to take a breather from Jacqueline Susann novels and cruise towards a more up to date and rather different style of writing: Chelsea Handler’s My Horizontal Life. All I’m going to say about this book is that if you enjoy laughing, READ THIS BOOK. I can’t put it down, she cracks me up. Obviously don’t read it if you don’t like Chelsea Handler. This is the book I’m currently reading and I plan on reading Are You There Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea after my next book (waiting for it to come down in price).
Between Chelsea Handler’s hilarious books I am going to read Love in the Time of Zombies, which should be arriving in my mail box any day now. Honestly I don’t know what it’s about other than what the title denotes, but how could it be bad? I like zombie movies/books, and I really like love! Updates to come on this one.
Speaking of zombie books this reminds me that I read one by Stephen King last summer called Cell. Really good book! Scary!!
OK that’s enough book reviews for me today. I will keep you posted on the next ones!
