I’ve been forming a book list this week of possible reads and books that I’d like to write up reviews for. As some of you know I recently read the Harry Potter series and LOVED it; I also recently read “Baby Laughs” by Jenny McCarthy [hilarious!!], “Dark at the Roots: A Memoir” by Sarah Thyre [eh .. dark humor] and off and on I’ve been reading books geared towards military wives.

Books I’ve recently purchased include “The Creative Family” by Amanda Blake Soule and a weekend craft book (yay!)

A book that looks interesting is The Appeal by John Grisham (his newest one!).

My friend Valerie loaned me the book “Help! I’m a Military Spouse: I Get a Life Too!” to read. She’s good about making me read “Navy Wife Lit” lol … I’m reading it now because it’s not a novel, it’s more like a life manual. It helps you set your goals and create a life that is about you, not your husband’s career and not your kids. It’s working nicely. In fact, I started “working” more once I started reading it because it helped me figure out a timeline and realize that it’s (meaning a LIFE) isn’t going to come in a day. I have to give the book back to Valerie before I PCS though, lol … I think this will be one that I purchase. It’s a really good book!
