What I'm reading...

So, I have been so busy lately that I haven't been reading a lot, but I have started The Bitch In the House: 26 Women Tell the Truth about Sex, Solitude, Work, Motherhood, and Marriage, edited by Cathi Hanauer. It has been an entertaining book for the short stories, but more so for the looks I got with a pair of snarling lips on the cover with the word Bitch in capital letters. Needless to say, it made for quite an entertaining trip to St. Louis a few weekends ago. If I could figure out the image thing since Blogger changed it, I could share the cover with you. Once I finish Bitch, I am adding The Bastard on the Couch: 27 Men Try Really Hard to Explain Their Feelings about Love, Loss, Fatherhood, and Freedom edited by Daniel Jones to my TBR list. It is a guy's response to Bitch, edited by Hanauer's husband who is also a journalist and author. I guess these could be classified as chick lit, but they are along the same lines as the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, without the sappyness.

Also coming up on the horizon is the next installment to Chrstopher Paolini's Inheritance Trilogy, Eldest. Eldest will be released on Aug. 23rd. I thouroughly enjoyed the world Paolini created in his first book Eragon. And, he wrote it when he was 16! This is labled as a young adult novel, but I read Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and Lemonly Snicket too!

Well, that's it for now. I have to get back to work. Pesky, pesky business....

PS. If anyone can give me a lesson on getting those pics uploaded and added, that would be great!
