Need Good Reading Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for any good light chicklit-ish type books for recovery time. I love things that are light, funny and pretty non serious especially to take my mind off things. Taking any and all suggestions! :-)

I enjoy the Janet evanovich Stephanie plum series. One for the money is the first one.

If you're not easily offended the Chelsea Handler books are amazing. Hysterical. But very fresh.

Definitely not easily offended!

Chelsea Handler was on my list (and probablt moving up to the top) and a friend had recently suggested Janet evanovich to me but I haven't read anything by her. I will definitely check her out! Thanks guys!

I plan on reading 50 Shades of Grey while I'm recovering. I wont be able to do it, so I guess I will just have to read about it LOL :D

50 shades was awesome!! Any of Karin Slaughters books are great if you like crime or murder mysteries. The first one is Blindsighted.

I read the 50 shades series while recovering. Have to say that was probably what contributed to me wanting to get things back into action with my husband quicker than I had thought I would post surgery! Sorry, TMI! Terribly written books but titilating nonetheless ;-)

Anyway, I like Marian Keyes books for easy reading and funny chick lit.

Lol I think I'm in the small percentage of people who didn't like it - definitely the minority. I like to be different :P

Agree re Karin Slaughter though. Good books!

Marian Keyes keeps showing up on chick lit lists. She has a lot of books, what's a good one to start with?

Cute romantic comedies by Katie MacAlister's Corset Diaries, Improper English, and Hard Days Knight. I re-read them occasionally I still find myself laughing.

I would start with one of her first, Watermelon or Rachel's holiday. They are dated now perhaps but still really good.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
