Not only do I LOVE you, but I LOVE Stefanie! I’m reading one right after the other and think I will do that until bedtime. Loving it!

And also seeing far too much of myself in it…

Thank you for sharing!

My first (infertility) blog I wrote a post about how all parenting books suck EXCEPT for this one I just read, called “Sippy Cups.”
And Stefanie must have some google connections because the very next day there was a comment from her, and I nearly shit myself.

I look forward to reading this book as well – I loved her first two. Just lemme finish the Twilight series first. I am obsessed right now.

Oh, holy jeebus, Dickens is the worst author ever!!!! Gah! I remember reading him while I rode on the exercise bike in the basement, and it was the only book that actually made it seem LONGER. We had to read 40+pp a night for high school english, and damn, it made me want to tape my eyes shut. Just the thought of that damn cake, all gross and, seriously, who wastes CAKE like that!?!?!

Hopefully this works cuz when I try to comment from the Crackberry it never wants to freaking work. You should read Jen Lancaster’s books. She is hilarious and sarcastic and reminds me of you. Look her up on amazon. Pretty in plaid is the name of her latest but I haven’t read it yet. It’s sitting on my counter taunting me too but my damn law books need reading first.

Your blog makes me laugh and I enjoy it. Just found it a week or so ago so I have a lot of catching up to do!

Love fiction, still hate A Tale of Two Cities. I think high schools just assign it because Dickens wrote it and everyone knows that English teachers are serious “throw your bra up on stage” groupies of Dickens.

Thanks for the guilt trip Auntie B! What does this say about me? Three kids and 11 years of “mommydom”, and the LAST thing I want to read is a book about being a mommy!!!!

When I am not reading military history for graduate work (shut UP ) there is nothing like hunkering down with a good decorating magazine….

I am a sucker for books, probably especially fiction, since I read largely to get away from the real world. But I have read Hemingway and Faulkner as an adult and found that I really enjoyed it–positively shocking, since in the 10th grade, one quarter of the year was devoted to Hemingway, then one to Faulkner, leaving me feeling like I would never understand anything I read again. I’m still resentful of the damned Nick Adams Stories, though I’ve liked other Hemingway since. So I can understand your feelings for A Tale of Two Cities, though (gasp!) I’ve never actually read it myself.

Truthfully, the book I’ve recently discovered and am widely recommending is a children’s book called “An Awesome Book.” The kids and I both like it, and I don’t know if that means that it’s an unusually good book with wide appeal or that I need to spend more time with big people. Other than that, what can I say? I’ve been reading fantasy novels, Harry Potter, and the “Redwall” series (shut up, it’s kind of for grown-ups!). And since we’re leaving on vacation today, I look forward to starting some mystery full of international intrigue. I don’t care which one, since given my attention span and kids, they all end up seeming the same to me.

My favorite types of books are biographies and memoirs. BUT I will read anything. I actually loved A Tale of Two Cities (and 1984 and Brave New World and Animal Farm and all the other “required reading” in high school). Except I really fucking hated “The Red Pony” by Steinbeck.
