Ever since I got the Nook it is way too easy to get books. I keep telling myself to stop! I will be more disciplined. I love my Nook but I have so many books now! Since I haven't blogged in awhile I thought I should add to my list of books that I have read so far this year. I was sick last week and if I was not sleeping, wiping my nose, going to the doctor, or watching a movie, I was reading. (Don't forget drinking plenty of liquids!!)

I found a new author to read during that time. I think I might have read one of her books before last week but I am not sure. It has been awhile since I blogged! I have lost track. Aside from that, the author's name is Kristan Higgins. I feel I have to warn people though that her books do contain swearing (use of the F word) and sex (I would not call it trashy). Her stories are lighthearted, humorous, and well written characters. The stories do have a lot of similarities, such as the heroines usually are close with their families, live back east (a few in Maine). One theme that Higgins likes is how a "hero" someone who is perfect. Or has the heroine just made him perfect in her eyes? When someone else comes along there might be someone better and someone who is real. Higgins probably likes "Pride and Prejudice" because the meeting of the two meant to be together usually starts on rocky territory. Then again who does not like a Mr. Darcy story once in awhile. If you know me at all, you know that I do!! So needless to say I enjoyed the books by Kristan Higgins.

Two other books I added are by Marcia Lynn McClure. She is a favorite author of mine. Her books are a great escape. I have definitely needed that with the stress of work!! It makes me smile just to type this, but you can always count on Marcia Lynn McClure for some great kisses! The other main ingredient to any of her books, is our hero to take of his shirt! I know, how silly, but very fun to read!! In "Kiss in the Dark", there is a scene in the book where three of the male characters take their shirts off!! That made me laugh, it was so cute!

"Not Just Make Believe" is a book that I found just through a search with the Nook. Darn old Nook drawing me in. It is just to easy to buy these books. I am having fun though... I am supposed to be telling you a book... Right! "Not Just Make Believe" is just a cute book. I know I have said this before! So many of the books I read are cute. This is a good one though. The heroine is a plus size girl and I like a story with a real character. She was not perfect and she is insecure. Remember me calling the story cute, though. It is not believable story I know that but I did enjoy reading it and that pretty important.

Reading is fun. Reading can be an escape. Reading can teach us things. Reading can make us laugh, make us think... Reading is so cool!

Now the question is, what should I read next?
