Bookworm

In honor of my monthly book club tonight I 

thought I would share with you my recent favorite reads.

1. 50 Shades

 duh.

The first book in the trilogy was last months book club pick.
I read all 3 

but we've talked about this.

You know I loved them. 

2. MWF Seeking BFF

 To say I loved this book is an understatement.

I enjoyed it so much that I emailed the author yesterday.

I loved it so much and wanted to let her know how much her book touched me.

I really felt that I could connect with Rachel (author) and at the same time, she really inspired me.

Since moving to Cincinnati about 3 years I have made a few girlfriends 

but have always been yearning for more.

Who doesn't love new friends??

The friend search has definitely been a struggle for me.

I had a (large) great group of friends in Indianapolis and leaving that was very hard. 

 

Her book has really encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone

and seek out friends in new places.

She also encourages you to continue to work on the 

friendships you have and develop them further.

Whether you are new to a city or not, I think this book is a great read for everyone.

3. Bossypants  

 I picked up Bossypants from the library as a book on tape.

(P.S. I love books on tape...am I the only one? I have 

also been listening to them when I run. #nerdalert).

Listen.

This book is SO funny.

I'm talking tears running down my face while I'm driving funny.

(not the safest condition)

It is read by Tina which, I think, makes it that much funnier.

If you haven't read or listened to this book you need to run to the library and pick it up.

Those are my most recent favorites.

What are you reading right now?

What should we read next month for book club??

Grey.

50 Shades.

Are you reading it??

If not, why not?

To say I'm obsessed would be an understatement.

 We chose book 1 for our book club last month.

I was skeptical at first...

and then I started reading

and could not get enough of Christian and Ana.

About 3/4 of the way through book 1 I got on Amazon and ordered the next 2.

(p.s. one day I'll share my love of Amazon Prime with you)

 I knew I had to know the rest of the story

I am now 142% totally engrossed in this love story.

I can't read fast enough

but at the same time,

do not want it to end.

I started book 3 the other day and am cautiously

but feverishly reading it.

I did hear a glorious rumor that they are making a movie...

This Vanity Fair article suggests Ryan Gosling to play Christian Grey

Um if that is the case, 

 I'll be sitting at the theater waiting until it opens.

Funny story...

I received a call the other day from an unknown Washington number...

and if I am lying I am dying...

my first thought was,

'OMG, Christian Grey is calling me!'

Turns out it was just a spam calling telling me I had won a cruise...

#notthesame

If you are not reading this series you need to get on it!

Be warned though

they do drop the 'f' bomb

and it is intense

but the story is good

and a great beach read for the summer.

Bottom line.

Read it.

Who is with me on this obsession??

I'll let you know what the verdict is from book club soon! 

 Happy weekend, Cinco de Mayo and Derby Day, friends!

On the Tube

I realized the other day that our DVR have been getting quite the work out.

I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how many shows we watch on the regular...

you may begin to think that we never leave our house.

I promise we do.

Here are a few of the ones we are really loving right now

1. Mad Men. duh. So glad this is back in our lives.

2. Smash-I think Katherine McPhee is great in Smash

and I'm excited to see where this one is going.

3. GCB-Who else is watching this? I find it SO funny. I also find it incredibly
impressive at how big they get their hair.

4. Castle-The Mister and I have been watching this for a few years and we love it!

 Now if Castle and Beckett would just kiss ALREADY!

!

 5. Bethenny-I want to be bff's with her.
Done and done.

And I wouldn't mind to have her closet as well.

In other entertainment news, I am currently reading 'The Girl Who Played with Fire' and about to start '50 Shades of Gray' for book club.

I haven't started 50 Shades yet but I've heard it is quite scandalous!

What are some of your favorite shows right now?
