So far I'm up to 27 books I'm a little behind but I have the confidence that I will make by goal for the year!
You can look at my 2013 goals on my first week's Blog. 26 educational, 26 pleasure books.
I've got 17 educational/informational book done!
I've got 10 pleasure books done!
In September....
27- One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. This was fabulous!!! Loved the book and movie!!
24,25,26- I've read the Fifty Shades of Grey series- I LOVED IT! (Besides the obvious sexual content which is not a big deal to me) I loved how the story had a real purpose. 2 people who have issues and learn to work through them. I just had to see what all the hype was about. I really liked the actual story throughout the series! Which leads me to my next question of HOW are they going to turn this into a movie? Cause 75% of the first book Fifty Shades of Grey is sexual content. So it will be interesting. Oh & after reading the books I can NOT picture the cast they have hired for the roles in the movie.
23-Breakfast at Tiffany's by James Patterson. This is not your typical James Patterson book. This is a book about an imaginary friend and how they become real. It was a slow but enjoyable book.

ROMANCE-
22- "Perfect Fling" by Carly Phillips - It was funny & romantic(a few exotic parts), I loved it!!! Great plot, and characters were life like! Ups and downs great book & would read it again!

MURDER/MYSTERY-
21- Malice by Lisa Jackson, AWESOME
20-Suspicions by Christine Kersey- this was OK, written for ALL reading levels (in my opinion) little too simple for me.
19-Swim by Jennifer Weiner VERY SHORT e-book, not worth the time, only 40 pages

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CLEANING-
3-Cleaning by Real Simple & Kathleen Squires - this didn't give me the information I was looking for. I thought this book would give me homemade cleaning solutions to the commercial brands. All this book gave me was a "schedule" (daily, weekly, monthly, annually) of what to clean in my house.
