Books I'm Reading

I have a friend, from my wedding list, and she belongs to a local book club. She posts often about what is on her nightstand, or playing in her vehicle. I often read her reviews, and head to my local library to check out what she's been reading... and more :D

So I'm trying to read 40 books in 2009. I should read 3.3 books a month. We are almost done April, and this is what I have read so far:

Confessions of A Shopaholic
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan
Shopaholic & Sister
Shopaholic Ties the Knot
Shopaholic and Baby
Obsessed - Ted Dekker
*The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - John Boyne
The Shack
*The Hiding Place - Corrie ten Boom
*Against Medical Advice - James Patterson with Hal Friedman (?)
The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom
*One Red Paperclip
*He Chose the Nails - Max Lucado
*The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The books marked with an * are excellent reads. I haven't read one yet that I don't like, but the others are just a decent read.

On my nightstand are:
*****
Kiss - about half done
The Total Money Makeover - take 2 LOL
The Zoo Keeper's Wife

Do you have any reading suggestions?  Leave some comment 
love, and I will draw a name for a RAK!!  Deadline to 
comment is April 30th.

5 Little Monkey's

So my mom brought over a new book for Sophia. "Five Little Monkey's." I'm sure you are all familiar with the song "5 little monkey's jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the Dr. and the Dr. Said... NO MORE MONKEY'S JUMPING ON THE BED!" She thought it was the best thing ever. Mom had to read it at least 3 times before supper! So then MOm started to leave off words...





Mom: Mama called the...
Sophia: DOCTOR!!
Mom: and the Doctor said...
Sophia: hello! (of course, isn't that what you say when you answer the phone?!!LOL)
Mom: and then he said ...
Sophia: No more monkey's jumping on the bed!

And ANOTHER reading produced this:

Mom: Mama called the...
Sophia: DOCTOR!!
Mom: and the Doctor said...
Sophia: hello! (of course, isn't that what you say when you answer the phone?!!LOL)
Mom: and then he said ...
Sophia: bye!! (again the logic ;)

Is she really only 3.5?! LOL!)
