reading rainbow

i love reading.....i mean REALLY love reading. i have always loved reading since i was taught how. through high school i had WAY better things to do (or so i thought) than to actually pick up a book. i started really reading again when my son was about 6 months old. it was my escape. i have always suffered with depression, but i had MAJOR PPD! i would read 5-6 books a WEEK!!! all i was doing was taking care of my baby and reading...escaping into a world that was not my own. living vicariously through characters that had a better life that i did. this went on for about a yr or so. i finally started therapy again and she helped pull me out of the hole i was slipping down. since then i read as a normal person. maybe 2 or 3 books a month. it is hard for me to describe the feeling i get when i go on Amazon to download books to my kindle(my bff). it brings me joy. so for anyone who cares i shall now list some books that i have read. please feel free to leave any comments on book you think i should read. and yes i will grade them....that's how I roll!

Good in bed was an A++... At least...

All of those are on my to-read list. If my monkey was napping right now I might be reading.

But she isn't. So I'll surf the web on my phone!
