If that's not enough, I started looking around the other day and realized the number of unread books I have here. Time to put a kybosh on the Gilmore Girls DVD marathon I've been having since FH left and get back on the reading train. Just look at all of the fun stuff I could be reading instead of staring at the tube!
I asked for the Twilight books for Christmas and was so excited to finally read them and find out what all the craze is about, but the interest waned and I haven't even opened them yet. Must get on that. The other book was just a little extra Xmas giftie from Mom. 
This pile of books has been here since Autumn. I picked up the Jodi Picoult book after reading My Sister's Keeper for our first book club meeting and LOVING it...thought I'd jump right into more of her books but still haven't made it to this one. The Memory Keepers Daughter I have actually read...and loved it. The Marion Keyes book is one of three that I picked up at Costco on a whim....very cute, easy reads and I just haven't made it to this one yet. I think the Fern Michaels one I may have picked up at an airport...and the other two were books Mom read while she was visiting and left behind for me to read.
These ones were dropped off by my neighbor. I've wanted to read the Emily Giffin books forever and some girlfriends have been passing them around. Lovely Bones was recommended by those same friends and sounds like a great book (which I want to read before the movie comes out this year).
To top it all off, I will be picking up The Shipping News this weekend to read for book club this month.
Whew.
Good thing we are going on that trip to Punta Cana, where I plan to spend a lot of time reading in the glorious sun!

wow books. I love the Emily Giffin series. So cute.
I'm jealous! I haven't had time to pick up anything but a textbook lately :(
Holy girl!!! You have a lot to read there (though I am not one to talk...I have a few too!!)
You will LOVE Twilight (i hope!) and the Emily Giffin books are a great light read!!! And I really loved "the lovely bones" (I just picked up her new one, "Lucky"? I think).
I read "My Sister's Keeper" while on vacation!!!! Do you know how hard it was to sit in that lounger at the pool and pretend I wasn't crying??
haha, Jen...that happened to one of the girls from book club...she took the same book to Mexico with her and cried by the pool!
Whew thats quite the pile!! I love Marian Keyes her books are awesome. The lovely bones is a pretty good book too although the end seems to go on forever (we "read" the audiobook at work). Another one to add to your pile is The Time Travellers Wife. I just finished it and it was awesome, a very different book.
Ha! Christy you must have missed when I raved about that one ages ago. My current fave book hands down!
I am on the same idea path as you these days... i looked at your piles of books and it seems we have the same tastes. I am just staring the Boleyn Inheritance too and the Twilight series (i am waiting for book 3 to hit paperback)... basically all your books are my bookshelves! lol
i am always looking for new authors to enjoy! (so i will keep my eye on your piles!;-D)
I just read "Baby proof" and it was fantastic!
i love a good book post ;)
