I'm chiming in on Kelly's Korner's "Show Us Your Life" for the first time in a while. It's all about what you're reading! You know I love that topic! I'm just going to give you the run-down of what I'm working on right now and what is on my "want to read" list!
1. Still working on Reshaping It All by Candace Cameron Bure.
2. Still working on BetterPhoto Basics: The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Taking Photos Like a Pro by Jim Miotke.
3. Book Club picked The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney. I started it last night and cannot put it down. I've had to make myself stop this morning so that I can get some housework done!
4. I'm working on Life Lessons: Book of Genesis with Max Lucado right now as my Bible Study.
5. I have Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy) on my Kindle. I LOVED the first one but this one got pushed to the back burner a few months ago.
6. I'd like to read Rules of Vengeance by Christopher Reich (the second book in the trilogy Book Club started last month).
7. Wicked by Gregory Maguire. This one has been on my bookshelf forever. I'm hoping to read it SOON!
8. The Hardy Boys series. (Yes, I know this is laughable. Eddie has the entire series though and I just want to read every. single. one.)
9. The Blind Side by Michael Lewis. I LOVED the movie. Hoping the book is just as good. This one has also been on my list for a while.
10. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson. I think I'm a little late on these but I keep hearing about them so I'm definitely reading this.
11. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I hated this in college. I think because it's hyped up so much and I was forced to read it. (The irony of course is that I went to college to learn to "force" others to read books. Ha!) I think I'll read this one in honor of Anna and her upcoming nuptials.
12. London Bridges by James Patterson. This is the follow up to another Alex Cross book I read a few months ago. I need a James Patterson fix every once in a while.
13. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. This one I bought several months ago and still haven't read it. We liked True Blood so I'm hoping I'll like this, too!
14. The Lean Belly Prescription by Dr. Travis Stork. I need a little nonfiction and healthy reading this summer!
15. The Soloist by Steve Lopez. This one was a previous Book Club choice before I was a part of it. A friend loaned it to me. I need to read it and return it soon!
16. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Satterfield. Same as above - previous Book Club selection!
Have any book suggestions for me?

The Mockingbird book sounds good! Let me know how you like Wicked! I've been wanting to read that one too!
Yay, yay, yay for Pride and Prejudice! My other favorite Jane Austen novel is Persuasion, but I won't push my luck with you reading that one!
After looking at some other bloggers book list I am right there with you about the book: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; and another one I have noticed is Water for Elephants.
Found your blog through Kellyskorner! Am now following! Would love for you to check out my blog and follow back!
I got here through Kelly's SUYL. Just a head's up about Wicked. I LOVE the show, the music, and thought I would love the book. It's a lot more dark than I thought it would be. Don't let that discourage you, but I thought I'd give you a heads up! Thanks for the other suggestions! I've added several to my reading list!
I actually LOVED wicked. I have not seen the play but I do agree with Emily. It does have it's dark moments. It reminds me of animal farm, a lot of political allegories (look at me using literary terms!!) It is one of my all time favorites. I saw the wizard of oz on tv last week and am thinking of reading wicked again.
