Books I am Reading

After the overwhelming response to my post yesterday about books,  (not really, the only people that I even know that read this are my mom, Alicia and Vicki!  If anyone else is reading, I would love to have my first comment - hint hint) I thought that I would share my current reading list with you.

I am currently reading "Oxygen", it is about an anesthesiologist that has a child die during surgery and what happens after.  I am only about 5 or 6 chapters into it, but it is good so far.  Then I am going to read "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer, then the Twilight books, then I might read the Stephanie Plum books.  Hmmm... it sounds like I am only going to read books that involve some version of my name.  I also have the Peter Walsh book about organizing, "It's All Too Much".  I really think that I should be on his Clean Sweep show - I am sure that my family will attest to that!  I also have Emily Giffin's new book "Love the One You're With".  She is a good writer, so I should read that one soon.

Books that I am excited about are:
Jen Lancaster's new memoir.  I think it's called "Pretty in Plaid" it's about her time in high school and/or college - that comes out spring 2009.
Jodi Picoult's new one "Handle with Care" it's about a little girl (I think) with Brittle Bone syndrome and what happens when she is advised to sue her Ob/Gyn, which is also her best friend, for wrongful birth.  This basically means that you wish your child had never been born.  I read the excerpt on her website and I couldn't wait to read more.  That comes out in March 2009.  I may have to take the day off work to read it, I know that I won't want to put it down!
Chelsea Handler's new book - I saw that she has another book that she is writing with Chuy, that will just be funny.

I think that I need to get a life, since I am excited about books being released months from now.  I will keep you updated on my reading list!

You'll definitely love Handle with Care! Have you read her other books? They are all amazing.
Thanks for the suggestion of Oxygen-sounds like my style too. I also plan to jump on the bandwagon and read Twilight. Enjoyed your blog and I plan to be back!
