Working at Reading

I have a lot of down time at work, so one of the things I can do to pass the time is read. I love to read, but have found myself reading the same books over and over again. So yesterday I went and got my very first library card! I tend to be drawn to 'best seller' books. I figure if a lot of people have bought them then they can't be bad, right? I really don't know of any good books right now, it's been so long since I've picked anything up.

Any suggestions on books to read?

I start work again on Saturday. I have had 2 weeks off with not a lot to do, and nobody to hang out with. All of a sudden everybody wants to do something the weekend I start back at work. I understand it's the long weekend, but still! It annoys me.

Also, my old job called and wants me to work a couple days next week (my days off). Funny how I have had no jobs, and suddenly I have 2!

I just can't win!

Hey babes! I have some suggestions for reading material for you.

Shopaholic Series - Sophie Kinsella

Isha introduced me to the Shopaholic series; it's quite good and the humour is deliciously British.

The Secret - Rhonda Byrne

A work of nonfiction that was on Oprah's recommended book list. It's about the real secret of life.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden

Not sure if you've read this one or not but Memoirs of a Geisha is set in pre-WWII Japan and it's about a girl named Satsu and her journey through the underground world of Geisha and Maiko.

Twilight Series - Stephanie Meyer

I haven't actually read this series but it's got a lot of hype surrounding it. It's a vampire series, set in modern times. Don't know much else.

Guilty Pleasures - Laurell K. Hamilton

This one I do know, and it's also about the supernatural of today. It's quite compelling and my favourite series to date.

The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

It is an unconventional love story that centers on a man with a strange genetic disorder that causes him to unpredictably time-travel, and his wife, an artist who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences.

The other stuff I can think of is all cyberpunk and sci-fi or high fantasy, which I'm not sure if you're into.

Good luck, bb.
