I love to read fiction before I go to bed at night.  It (usually) settles my brain and helps to stop me from thinking about my ‘to do’ list that is always in the back of my mind.

I’ve been going through some books fairly quickly lately and thought I’d share what I’ve been reading.

The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer - I finished these four books in two weeks.  I couldn’t put them down and read whenever I had a chance.  VERY good series.  I have a friend who let her 10 year old read them, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.  Although it’s considered young adult (of which a 10 year old is far from being, I don’t care how advance her reading level is), it has some very adult themes in it in terms of relationships.   No sex, but still relationship stuff that you really don’t get until you’ve been in a few.

The Undomestic Goddess and Can You Keep A Secret by Sophie Kinsella (author of Confessions of a Shopoholic) – both of these were pretty good, if you like chick lit.  The kind that doesn’t require or inspire a lot of thought.  I definitely like those every now and then for a bit of escapism.  I liked The Undomestic Goddess better.

I started reading The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith and frankly just couldn’t get into it.  I got it at the used book store as the owner told me a lot of patrons said it was funny.  I will probably give it another go soon.  Apparently there is an HBO series based on it.  Does anyone watch it?  We don’t have HBO.

I’m currently reading This Charming Man by Marian Keyes.  More chick lit.  And I’ve read a lot of Marian Keyes and have liked her books for the most part.  This one is not really doing it for me though.   I might chug along a little longer, but I might give up on it and go for something else.

I have The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner on hold at the library.  It looks to be pretty interesting, but I do like to stick to fiction at night time.  But, I’ve heard this one is pretty good and I break my rules for good documentary type books.

What are you reading these days?  I’m always looking for a new good book!
