Laughing Out Loud with Idiots

Just started a new book Monday. It's actually the first book from this author, but I have read her later stuff. Laurie Notaro is hilarious! The book I just started is called The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club.
Lots of short chapters about her life and the crazy, normal, simple and hilarious things that she does/happen to her. Definitely a good read to make you laugh out loud. I'm not even half done yet!

Other good books from this author:

Autobiography of a Fat Bride: True Tales of a Pretend Adulthood

I Love Everybody (And other atrocious lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl

We Thought You Would Be Prettier

and there's more, I just haven't read them yet.

The Year of Yes, by Maria Dahvana Headley

Saw it on the Today show this morning. Basically, this woman said yes to anyone who asked her out on a date all year long. Dates ranged from rock stars to a homeless guy, although I think the date with the homeless guy HAD to be more interesting. Anyhow, it looks like an interesting read. True story. Maybe i'll get to it in 2010 or something.

Karla says to read...

Awhile back Karla mentioned this one as a recommended read. Officially added to the list. At some point, when I get a new site (someday). I'll actually categorize these.

The Dragon Story Will Continue...

I finished Eragon this morning (see previous dragon post). It was good. Once the author educated you on all of the little details and wars, and who people were, etc....it really picked up. But for the first in a trilogy, you know that there's going to be a lot of backstory to deal with. It was easy to read and entertaining. I'm looking forward to reading the next book - Eldest, but it's just going to be added to the list. I've got plenty of other books I need to read before I get back to that series. At least I don't have to wait though. Eldest is already out and I think even in paperback, I'm not sure though. So, if you liked Tolkien and you like fantasy this is a good read. Keep in mind it was written by a 15 yr old, but you barely notice it. I recommend this one.

Interesting Article

I know it's not a book, but it's still long. I haven't finished it yet, in fact. Found it through a series of links through sites I read regularly. It's just....interesting.

For Mothers, Mothers-to-be, and Mothers-to-be-someday

I just read about this one today on one of the blogs I visit daily. It's called, Lord, Please Meet Me in the Laundry Room, by Barbara Curtis. Looks really interesting and thoughtful. Not supposed to just be a how-to book, but a lot more.... You can go to Amy's Humble Musings and read her review on it.

Dragon's are fun.

I am currently slowly reading Eragon, by Christopher Paolini. I'm not reading slowly because the book is difficult, hardly, the book is young adult. It's just I have to make myself sit down and read it instead of tidy, work on the computer or watch tv. I'm getting there though, and it's pretty good so far, especially if you like Tolkien and dragons. Good, easy read.
