Must Read

I am totally obsessed with this book! Thanks to Renee for suggesting that I read it, I can't put it down and don't want it to end. Definitely one of the best books I've read in a long time, and now that the movie is out I am excited to see how it compares. The main character's stories are amazing, their relationship is amazing...so good, really. Oh, and don't let the time traveling thing fool you, it's totally not SciFi...it actually makes you think more than anything else.

Good Read

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (about a year late, I know) and now I'm reading this book. Thanks to Whitney for introducing me to Jennifer Weiner, this is the 3rd book I've read of hers now. If you get a chance to read Good in Bed or Certain Girls, do it...in that order though because they go together. So far this one is turning out to be great, I always love a good murder mystery with some funny added in.

The Final Chapter

I'm finally reading the final book in the Harry Potter series. I kept telling myself that I would wait and read it in paperback, since I wanted to add it to the box set Anthony bought for me. But my mother in law bought me the hardcover months ago, when she saw it on sale for only $5!! I have never read an entire series of books before...(ok, not true, I was pretty obsessed with the Babysitter's Club books when I was younger)...but these books are soo good. I can sit down and read for two hours straight, sometimes more and totally get lost in the story.

How to be a Hilton

So we all know about my celebrity gossip obsession. Ask me anything, I'm 99% sure I can answer it. But all the credit goes to this guy...Perez Hilton. I check his website daily to get all the updates. Tim & Annette bought me this book for my birthday and it's pretty hilarious. He gives you tips on how to be a "Hilton"...and what does that mean? Let me tell you:

• "A hilton is someone who is skinny, notorious, mischeivious, hot, loves to party...rarely works, dates alot..."
• Prime examples are: Pars Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Tara Reid, Heidi & Spencer Pratt..the list goes on and on.
• According to Perez, you should do the following to be a hilton: Put the HO in Hollywood, Make Jack Daniels your Designated Driver, Have a Meldown, Replace a Snack with Crack and Get Some Work Done. (There are tons more, those are my personal faves!)

He gives his opinion on certain Hollywood rumors, tells how he got started in the gossip business and gives info on how to get good gossip. It's pretty interesting if you go to his site on a regular basis, if not...it's probably the dumbest thing you'll ever read.

Reading Rainbow

The top book is what I am reading right now. It's Michael J. Fox's second book and pretty much picks up from where his first one left off. He split it up into 4 different sections and talks about deciding to leave television, deciding to enter politics and the fight for stem cell research, his spirituality and his family life. So far, it's really good. He does an awesome job of explaining Parkinson's in non-medical terms.

The second book is something I read in about 2 days. My mom got it for me for my birthday, and I really liked it. I'm definitely a celebrity gossip junkie, so who better to read about then the crazy Spelling family?! Tori Spelling talks all about that mansion with the wrapping paper room, her affair with Dean and Shannon Daugherty's craziness when they filmed 90210. I thought it was super interesting to peek into her life for a little bit.

And the third book is what I'm on to next. I love Jennifer Weiner ever since I read Good In Bed on our way back from Maui. The follow up to that book was even better, so I'm excited to read this one to see how it compares to the others.

The Last Book

The Harry Potter series is one of my favorites..I started reading them right as the first movie came out and kept up with each one as they were released. Anthony bought me the paperback box set a couple years ago, but it was missing book number 7 since it hadn't been released yet. I still haven't read it...and my mother in law bought the hardback for me a couple months ago when she saw it on sale for $5! I really need to find time to sit down and dive into the world of Harry, Hermoine and Ron....
