Lately, choosing a book to read has been difficult for me. Due to FM’s job and the number of people I come into contact with, I already have enough drama in my life and, now when I read, I want to escape with an uplifting, positive book. I’m already “emotionally spent” with real life. Unfortunately, all the recommended books I’ve heard about lately sound too intense: missing teenage girl, cancer (Belly of the Whale), dementia, failed marriages, and even leprosy (Moloka’i). I finally settled on the book “Love Walked In” and ordered it from Borders last night.
After ordering the book, I popped over to Books on the Brain and saw that Hey Lady, Whatcha Readin’? is having a huge 14 book giveaway contest! And there will be FIVE winners. I like those odds and, if I win 14 books, I’ll feel obligated to read them regardless of their content. Could be the answer to my “picking a book to read” dilemma.
If you’re looking for a few good books and are feeling lucky, click over to Hey Lady and enter to win. There are several different ways to enter so check it out.

I would love to enter but even if I did win I don’t think I would have time to read anything. I have really struggled to finish 1 book in the last couple of weeks. I have 2 library books waiting and it looks like they will have to be renewed: The Kabul Beauty School and The Innocent Man. Maybe in a year or two I can start reading again!
