On my bedside table at the moment I have:
The Kabul Beauty School - a true story about a lady who opens a beauty school in Kabul. The story is ok but the writing style is rather poor. I am trying to finish it just because I hate leaving books unfinished, but it's dragging a bit.
The Vintner's Luck - I started reading this a few days before the earthquake and have not been able to pick it up since. Maybe this shouldn't be in the 'what I'm reading pile'... I have heard it's a great book so I do plan on getting to it eventually!
Taking Charge of Your Fertility - I have very recently stopped taking my pill (more on this at a later date) and have found this book to be the most amazing resource for everything a woman should know about her body. I HIGHLY recommend reading this book if you are trying to conceive, trying not to conceive, or simply want to know more about what is going on with your lady bits. I was engrossed in this book from the first page and have been referring back to it almost daily since it turned up in my letterbox courtesy of The Book Depository. I am so glad I found it!
Good magazine - easily my favourite magazine, I got a subscription for Christmas, and it is a happy day in my world when this beautiful, informative and intelligent magazine lands in my letterbox.
Your Home and Garden magazine - a guilty pleasure, I picked this up yesterday. I love to daydream about my 'forever' house and this magazine is like drugs for my wandering mind...
What I'm listening to:
Skinny Bitch - an interesting, informative book on the vegan diet from a very American perspective. I don't want to be vegan, but I am always interested in better informing myself on diet and health. This is a straightforward look at a certain way of eating. Well worth a read/listen if you are thinking of cutting back on meat and animal products, or even just to learn more about Veganism.
Oh good post I like to hear about other peoples reading recommendations x
ReplyDeleteGreat post Amy. I forget about audio books. I should play them while driving the kids to school. My all time fav book is 'the book thief' by Marcus Zusak? I good read if you haven't already
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, Good magazine.... I wish it was monthly! Having to wait two months for the next issue to turn up in the mailbox is very hard. That fertility book looks super interesting, I just checked and our library has it, hurrah!
ReplyDeleteI listened to the audio books of the Portugese Irregular Verbs trilogy (by Alexander McCall Smith). Very entertaining, and read by Hugh Laurie who is excellent and also hot.
