Anyone reading anything good?



Recommended Posts

I am just wondering if anyone is reading anything interesting, I just finished Running with Scissors which was very interesting, I felt like I needed a shower everytime I finished a chapter, he discribes his filthy living arrangements so well you feel dirty once you finish the chapter.

Currently reading my second Judy Bloom book, she usually writes childrens novels but actually has written a few adult novels, Summer Sisters is really good and now Wifey I am half way through and it is also good.

Please pass on any books you feel others might enjoy:clap2:

Cheers,

Sherri:p

I recently read Dry, buy the same author who wrote "Running with Scissors". It's not a light, fun read, but it was very interesting.

I haven't read anything new for a while I really liked, I do like mystery series like the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich.

I LOVE to read! I have read Summer Sisters and I really like it. I'm in a book club here are home. Here are some of my favorite recent reads: The Secret Lives of Bees, The Other Bolelyn Sister, Kite Runner, Goodnight Nobody, Middlesex, The Secret History, My Sister's Keeper. Good non-fiction reads: Guns, Germs and Steel and Freakanomics.

On my list to read now: Thirteen Tales, The Memory Keeper's Daughter

I also really liked Summer Sisters.

I am now into reading all of the books by Perri O'Shaughnessy (pen name for two sisters who are the authors)....there are 11 in this series and I am on the 3rd right now; I really enjoy the characters.

I also LOVE the 3 books by Ann Brashares: "Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants", "The Second Summer of the Sisterhood", and "Girls in Pants - the Third Summer of the Sisterhood".

I love to read and have a voracious appetite!

I really like the Perri O'Shaughnessy books too. I was really into those 2 summers ago. I need to catch up on the newest ones. Highly recommended.

I just finished Without A Net, by: Michelle Kennedy. It is a good read. It is about a middle class mother and her children becoming homeless. It is based on a true story, a memoir.

I am now reading A Memory Keeper's Daughter. I can't remember the author right now, but it is a slow read, but good. It is about a doctor's wife who has twins and the baby girl has Down's syndrome. The doctor tells the nurse to take the baby girl to a state hospital for children. The nurse does, but decides to raise the baby herself.

.....no snide remarks from this end Cloe.....I read those books too.....love 'em. We have a good used book store here that has a lot of the true crime books.....a few have really stuck with me. I like to alternate....a nice "soft" feel good book with a menacing twisted one!! (I also figure it is valuable research in case I ever need to get any ideas!!!) MWWWWWAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *evil laughter*:embarassed:

Yep, I like reading them, too. And novels, detective fiction, biographies, travel/adventure, and natural science made easy for blondies like myself. I am also interested in the social sciences, social anthropology.... I read a lot, every night before going to sleep.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
