Since arriving in Australia I've found myself flying through books like crazy! I've already read 5 or 6 different novels in the past 2 months and can't get enough. Last week my mom sent me another amazing care package filled with DVDs, American candy and of course Emily Griffin's book 'Something Blue.' I have read two of her books prior to this and love them. If you haven't had the experience of Emily's work you really need to hop on over to Border's and pick one up.
Something Blue is the sequel to Something Borrowed and sheds a whole new light on characters and the situation they find themselves in. I even found myself having to set limits on how many pages I could read in any given day so the book wouldn't to be over too quickly. It's a great summer read and definitely a page turner.
I am now onto reading President Obama's first book, 'Dreams From My Father.'
If anyone has any good book suggestions please let me know!

I just recommended The Kite Runner to Lindsay. You should check it out, too. And if you haven't already, you MUST read In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson.
I loved reading the Emily Giffin books. I haven't read any of Barak Obama's books. But combining to two to make a suggestion, have you read Kristin Gore's books "Sammy's Hill" and "Sammy's House"? They're a good mix of chick lit and politics
you should read baby proof and love the one youre with. the last one esp. i read it in one day at work...
I have read Love the One YOure With and LOVED IT, but have yet to get to Baby Proof!
Have you read any Wally Lamb books? She's Come Undone and I Know This Much is True...
Love Emily Giffin's books! I read all of them. Now I'm trying to read Chasing Harry Winston, it's a slow starter.
20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak is HILARIOUS! And...it's going to be made into a movie soon with Anna Farris playing the lead role.
LOVE her!! Wasn't it amazing to read Something Blue after Something Borrowed?!?!? Love her so so so much.
"Let's Talk About Kevin" by Lionel Shriver is good. I'm reading it for book club.
Synopsis:
The gripping international bestseller about motherhood gone awry
Eva never really wanted to be a mother—and certainly not the mother of the unlovable boy who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his sixteenth birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin's horrific rampage in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklyn. Uneasy with the sacrifices and social demotion of motherhood from the start, Eva fears that her alarming dislike for her own son may be responsible for driving him so nihilistically off the rails.
