I just finished the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers. Loved it! I read all 4 in about a week, because they were that good!

Raising Cain AND The Pressured Child by Michael Thompson (non-fiction)

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

The Zombie Survival Guided by Max Brooks

The Birthday of the World by Ursula LeGuinn (short stories)

On of my students recommended Twilight and I will be reading that soon! As soon as a copy is available at the library!

I am always in the middle of a bunch of books, but I get bored easily so I read a few at a time. I have to read what suits my mood.

I am not currently reading anything because I have been busy with school and my son's school... but i wanted to put in a word :biggrin: Has anyone read Janet Evanovich??? the stephanie plus series she writes is hilarious.. SO FUNNY.. if you ever get bored pick up Book 1.. It is called One for the Money and you will probably find yourself addicted..

Hope everyone is doing well..

Terry Goodkind-- I have 2 books left in the series of 12.... OMG. I haven't gone and bought them yet because I need to ration because I only have 2 books left and I raced thru the first 10. I was up all night a couple of times... And had to order the next books from the book store ahead of time because I knew I couldn't wait.

It is kind of like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings meets a seriously adult content commentary on social/political/racial issues with magic/wizards etc...... SO GOOD.

And let me tell you-- I was an English lit major in college and really love 17th-18th century English literature (ie- Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, etc). This serious is WAY out of my usual reading. Love it.

"Precious Blood" by Jonathan Hayes -- a brilliant author AND BANDSTER. He's a regular poster here, although he doesn't advertise his book on the site. For that reason, I'll keep his username to myself. Those of us who know him, love him. It's a brilliant crime thriller, in the vein of Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwall.

Also, "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. A very thick book, but amazingly worth it. It is the autobiography of a man who escaped from prison in Australia, then went on the run, ended up in India living in the slums and became a psedo-"slum doctor". He ended up returning to serve out his sentence then setting up medical clinics and so on in the poorest parts of India. He is inspirational, and has an amazing way with words.

And, of course, for those of us who are determined never to eat junk foods again, "Fast food Nation" by Eric Schlosser.

I just finished [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/90-day-Geisha-Chelsea-Haywood/dp/1741666414]90 Day Geisha by Chelsea Haywood[/ame]. I really liked it

Now I am reading Bitter chocolate by Carol Off, its a bit heavier in topic, but I think its going to affect me for the rest of my life (Fair Trade chocolate all the way!).

I'm reading "American Eve: Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White: The Birth of the "It" Girl and the Crime of the Century" by Paula Uruburu. If anyone saw the movie "Ragtime," her character was played by Elizabeth McGovern. I usually don't read biographies, but when I read about the book, I was fascinated. I find the turn of the 20th century an interesting time.

I'm no nonfiction snob. I've got Janet Evanovich's latest to read next. I just read Maryjanice Davidson's newest Undead book. Next up, some new paranormal series entries from C.E. Murphy and Lilith Saintcrow. I've read all of the Laurell K. Hamilton books except the last couple. I used to love both series, but she's replaced story development with group sex scenes, and all those body parts get boring after awhile. If that's your cup of tea, fine. That's why they publish so many books. :biggrin: I like Charlaine Harris' Sookie series much better.

        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
