September Books

Sippy Cups are Not For Chardonnay by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor  (August 31, 2010)
Hilarious!  I love reading books about babies and new moms {even though I have no kids}.  I laughed so much during this book and I found it to be so real!  I love that she is being honest and motherhood isn't all roses and cupcakes.  I will definitely check out her other book!

Death Be Not Proud by John Gunther (September 4, 2010)
I read this for my book club and had no idea that it was an "old classic" {my mom told me that}.  It was a really sad book, but really quick to read.  Johnny was such an inspiration during the end of his life and it was so well written.  Great book!


Best Friends Forever by Jennifer Weiner (September 4, 2010)
This book started out strange with the "mystery", but overall it was a nice, fluffy read for this rainy Saturday afternoon!


You'll Never Blue Ball in This Town Again by Heather McDonald (September 8, 2010)
Not as funny as Chelsea Handler.  The cover was right when it said "funny for her, painful for others".  Parts of this book were just rough and not funny.  Where Chelsea's humor seems effortless, Heather's seemed too forced.  I would skip this one.


Red Hook Road by Ayelet Waldman (September 10, 2010)
I liked this book, but I didn't love it.  I think I just had really high expectations for this book, so in the end I was a little disappointed.  I think I would have liked to have read more about the bride and groom before their untimely deaths.  


Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner (September 15, 2010)
I hated this book.  It was not interesting and it really was difficult to get into.


The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (September 20, 2010)
I don't know why I waited so long to read this book, but I'm happy that I finally did!  I was hooked from the beginning and even had nightmares that I was part of the hunger games (eek!).  I cannot wait to read the second book.


Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (September 23, 2010)
I have nothing new to say, except I am loving this series!  Seriously.  I cannot wait to read Mockingjay (despite unfavorable reviews), but I am 7th in line at the library.


Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella (September 25, 2010)
Don't you love when you finally get a book in the mail and you are able to sit down and read it on a nice, cold day?!  I do.  I love Sophie Kinsella.  She is pretty much a rock-star.  Becky is as lovable as ever, and her antics are hilarious.  Is this the last book in the Shopaholic series?  I thought so, but the ending seemed as if there could be another one, or is it just me?  Anyways, if it is the last book I would love for the publisher to release a beautiful box set :)
