Reading with Reed

I have been reading a lot. Not because I have so much extra time on my hands. A newborn is a lot more work than I remember. But since I spend 30 minutes every 3 hours nursing, I have had a lot of time to catch up on my reading. During the day, with Sawyer and Scott around, I'm usually talking with them...but in the evenings it just me, Reed and my books.



I started off reading Duma Key by Stephen King. It was, as all great Stephen King novels, wonderful. I was freaked out by some of it, but the storyline made it worth the read. I was torn some feedings, in the middle of the night, if I really wanted to read about any more scary paintings, but lucky for me I was already sleep deprived so if there were nightmares, I slept through them. Duma Key gives you just the right amount of drama and suspense with just a little of the unbelievable mixed in. I really enjoyed this book.

Then I started the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer. Thanks to Sarah, I could enjoy reading all 4 books, one right after the other. I can see why everyone loves this series and why it's been made into a movie. Who doesn't love a good love story, where the two lovers can't seem to be together. The first book and the last book were my favorites. In the middle of the night, I despised the fact that during some feedings, all I had been able to read about was a recap of the last book, and sometimes the story did drag but overall I this was a fabulous series. They were very easy reads, and I enjoyed the suspense along with the drama. Things I assumed might happen, didn't, twists in the story caught me off guard. I can't wait for the movie!



And finally, during the last 6 weeks, I've also read a comedy. Lamb by Christopher Moore. This book is hilarious. Especially for someone who grew up Catholic. I love Biff and his crazy adventures with Josh aka Jesus during the 30 years he was alive. It takes a very different and entertaining view of what happened in the years between Jesus being born and Jesus being a prophet. I highly recommend this book. I can't wait to read all of Moore's other books.
