Winter months in Minnesota are my reading months, husband builds a fire pretty much every night and I'm not sure there's anything I love more then snuggling up by the fire with my nook and my puggle. OK, I love snuggling up by the pool in 85 and sunny with a twisted tea far more than the fire....but it's winter, I do what I can.
Anywhoo, while I LOVE my Nook I have this weird problem where I can't browse books online or on the Nook. Not because it doesn't work, it does, but I really love to pick the book up and read the back cover.
So, when I'm in need of some new reads, I head to the book section at Target and write a list of books that stand out. I created a new list and thought I should share it to see if any of you have read any of these and which you recommend!
A Soft Place to Land by Susan Rebecca White
Expecting Adam by Martha Beck
Inside of a Dog by Alexandria Horowitz
Look Again by Lisa Scottoline
Room by Emma Donoghue

These all look so good!
I just added some of these to my Good Reads account where I track the books I've read/want to read! Also, I've read Expecting Adam and it is SO good :-)
Perfect, I was in need of some new reading!
I have read A Soft Place to Land! Super good! I actually have it (in real book form) if you want to borrow it. Let me know! :)
I do the same thing. I HAVE to read the back of the book. BUT I go to the bookstore and get overwhelmed with all of the books!

Have you already read The Hunger Games? It's a great read!
The top three you listed were rated high among the talk show celebs. I think I might look into them myself. Personally I like to read a hard copy book. Weird but the smell of a new book and the anticipation of the read I enjoy. I used to love going to the library when I was younger and actually J & N liked it too. BUT I also can understand the convenience of the Nook. Fill us in on your choices. Love Ya!
Schmooch Schoob and J for me!
im in NEED of new books so im checking back on these books when i get to my kindle tonight!!
id love to read the inside of a dog!!

My book club read Room. I haven't read it yet, but they loved it!
These look so good! Need to read more!
i love my nook as well, i find that i read WAY faster on it. i have read room- it was good, fictionally disturbing but good. currently i am reading "fearless in high heels" so far SUPER good and cheap e-books by Gemma Halliday. the series are fictional girly murder mystery set in LA. pretty good so far! i have a GREAT lend me book that is a quick and a fast read called "sold" let me know if you want to borrow it we can be nook friends.
I LOVE to read. I usually read at night when my 7 yr old and my husband play video games together. My current book I am reading is 44 St. Charles St. I like to rent books for our local library for my Kindle. :)

I'm currently reading Saving Max, and love it so far!
Funny that you go to the store and create a list, I used to do that too. But there is something that I still love about going to the library and roaming the stacks and looking for good reads, I think I just love the smell and the feeling of nostalgia.
i read room, it was so good! my mom didn't like it though. it's written from the point of a 5yo the entire time, which i thought was creative, but it bugged her.
