What I am reading: April Edition

I haven't been reading this month. I have just been so busy that I have sadly haven't had time. I get really bummed when I can't read. But thankfully, I received some 20% off discounts last week so I was excited to get some new books. So I picked up.....

I am a huge Big Bang Theory fan and I felt like I reading Sheldon's dating life. It was awesome! I really loved Rosie and although I guessed the twist at the end of the book- I still really enjoyed it. 

So today I picked up the sequel, which I am really excited to read.

 Because *spoiler alert* Rosie is having a baby!! 

I also grabbed one of Beth Harbison's book.I have a few of her books like "When in Doubt, Add Butter", but this book was on sale and so I am excited to read it.

What I'm Reading..

Picture Above and Below: a bit of my book collection 

I normally read or reread between 4-6 books a month, give or take depending. After reading The Fault in Our Stars, I was so distraught and traumatized, I didn't read for a few weeks. I was in a book coma. I have always loved reading. My version of Disney Land is spending hours in Barnes and Noble. I was reading books on my own at 3 (my brother at 5 was learning to read and I wanted to do everything he did). I didn't seriously start reading novels until around 8. I remember the first time I discovered romance novels. My mom had a collection of historical romance novels under the sink in my parents bathroom. I read my first one and was instantly hooked. If you have never read historical romance or romance in general, it is nothing like 50 Shades of Grey. There is no bondage or dominance/submission. It is always a strong female character and always a happy ending. I also read other genres, but I mostly stick to romance and chick lit fiction. I NEED the closure. Books are a great way for me to escape the day to day craziness. I probably won't cover my romance novels because the genre makes some people uncomfortable but a few of my favorite authors are Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey, Christina Feehan, Nora Roberts.

This is Where I Leave You

A few weeks ago I was chatting with my mom when she said there was a new movie coming out that we had to see. "Jane Fonda is in it!" was all I got out of the recap. So I did some searching on Google and found the trailer for a movie coming out called This is Where I Leave You. All star cast with Tina Fey, Jason Bateman, Fonda, Rose Byrne, looked hilarious. Fast forward a few days and I saw the book at Barnes and Noble, ok... I was kind of looking for it. Well I read the book, and I plan to see the movie. Something I NEVER do. If I read the book, I refuse to watch the movies because it ruins the book. If I watch the movie, I can't read the book because it's not like the movie. Only saw the first Harry Potter movie because of my crazy rational. Either way the book was awesome! I really enjoyed the dysfunctional family story with dry and witty humor. Definitely recommend the book and I can't wait to see this movie! It is in theaters today!
