When the weather gets cold outside the one thing I love to do indoors is read. There is just something about snuggling up with a good book and letting your mind go free that is so relaxing. So far this winter I have read 6 books all of which I have enjoyed.
1. Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy - This is one of those books where no matter what side of the political spectrum you fall on it is an interesting read. It truly is amazing to see people who stand for one thing act so differently in their personal lives. I wouldn't say this is a must read book but if you are just looking for something a little different it is worth your time.
2. Boleyn Inheritance - This book is actually part of a series written by Philippa Gregory that surrounds the life of King Henry the VIII and his wives. These books are interesting and hard to put down once you start reading them. I would say if you love history and don't mind a little fiction then these are the books for you.
3-6. Twilight Series - Yes I read the Twilight series and to my surprise I loved it! I actually was not planning on reading these as they were more geared for teens, but my sister in law gave me the first book to borrow so I figured why not give it a try. I must say I was blown away by these books. I know there are many critics out there but if you just go into these books not over analyzing and just for enjoyment I don't see how you will not love them. In fact, these books were so addicting that I actually finished all 4 in a week and a half. I just couldn't set them down. If you don't want to let people know you jumped on the Twilight bandwagon I can understand but go ahead and read these books in secret. They really are worth it!
So, now I am off to find my next great book or series to read. A good friend of mine is actually finished up the Twilight Series now and we are going to have a dinner date next week to discuss the books. It would be nice if we could both find a book or series to read again together and enjoy. If you have a must read book or series please share!
