Band being placed in 2 days-looking for suggesions of books to read to pass time

Hello!

I am having the Realze Band put in on Friday.  I am looking for book ideas for the hospital and during my recovery time.  I am looking for any suggestions,  maybe a good "chick" book, or autobiograpy or any other books you have enjoyed lately.

Thanks,

Jen

Hi Jen!

A GREAT "chick" book that I read recently is called "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral" by Kris Radish.  It will have you laughing and crying, sometimes both.

I also just read "The Notebook" for the first time and it is a great romance.

I took books to the hospital (I am an avid reader) but found that I could not concentrate enough to actually read them while I was there.  Between the drugs, the walking, sipping, sleeping and the nurses coming in all the time, I found that short magazine articles worked better.  I took a couple of "junk" magazines that worked for that purpose.

Good luck, I am wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

My favorite book is The Lovely Bones,  by Alice Sebold.  Its a wonderful but sad book.  I couldn't put it down.  Its a great book to read to help time pass during your recovery time at home.  

Another that I liked was Memoirs of a Geisha.  If you liked the movie you will like the book.  It was really an interesting look into the culture.

Good luck with your surgery 

Crystal, I loved both those books too!!!!

Did you know they are making The Lovely Bones into a movie.  Its supposed to be out next year.  I know Susan Sarandon (spelling???) and Mark Walberg are going to be in the movie. 

I did not know that....I will have to watch for it.

Jen,

First, good luck.  One of my favorite authors is Janet Evanovich.  She writes books with a character named Stephanie Plum.  Start with book one One for the Money.  I think it goes up to 14 or 15.  They are quick reads and fun.
