I'm currently reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. I also picked up Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I finished The Alchemist yesterday and loved it. Interesting story! Now I'm looking through my shelves to find my next read!

Started reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Finished Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris and loved it! It was an easy quick read. It flowed better than the Sookie Stackhouse books and made it difficult to put the book down! I'll have to continue with the series

Started reading Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris. Its a quick, fun read. I'm enjoying it so far

Finished On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan, not sure how I'm feeling about this one..

Finished Little Princes by Conor Grennen. Loved it! I'm usually not a huge fan of non-fiction books, but this one reads easily. The story is so interesting I had a hard time putting it down. Highly recommend it! Now, onto finding my next read!

I really liked this book, hope you enjoy it too! I'm still reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay and enjoying it!

Finished The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse and really enjoyed it! Usually not my type of book but I liked it! Now going to start reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. Went to the second hand shop and picked up the following books: The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas Blindness by Jose Saramago Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier and picked up new: Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert I love you, Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay Grave Sight and Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

Finished Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris, pretty funny! My next read: The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse, lent to me by my boyfriends mother who said it was an awesome read. Anyone read this before?

Finished Still Alice by Lisa Genova and loved it! Highly recommend this book, couldn't put it down!

Thanks!!

thats a gorgeous tat! Love it!

I've only had the foot ink for a few years now but I haven't come across any problems with it. Black ink tends to stay vibrant longer than other colours. The foot ink doesn't encounter much more ware than any other tattoo. The only time you have to be careful with it is during the healing process because it scabs over. Removing socks and putting on socks can peel of some scabs which in turn can take off a bit of the ink. But I never had that problem and I had to wear shoes every day with it for work. Lots of lotion is the key! My friends also have ink on their feet too and haven't had problems either! Hope this helped! What do you plan on getting?

Finished A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris yesterday and started Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

Thanks Kylie and BookJumper!

I have a ton of ink! Very addictive! All have various meanings: The poem was my very first tattoo. Its a verse from the poem Dirge Without Music by Edna St-Vincent Millay. I got it in memory of family who have passed away. The flowers on my ribs are the favorite flowers of the important women in my life (mother, grandmother, aunt) The Ship is for my love of travel and adventure (I hope to travel around the world one day!) The anchor is a friendship tat between me and my 3 best friends (we each have one on our foot or ankle) and "Wilfred" is for my Grandfather. I have many more planned out, just waiting for money and time to get them done! Love ink! another pic one more pic!

Finished Room by Emma Donoghue. Loved it! One of my favorite books that I've read recently

I enjoyed both Heartsick and Sweetheart! Good reads hope you enjoy them too!

Almost done Room by Emma Donoghue and loving it! Such a sad story. Very very interesting! Picked up Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova A Tale of Two Cities & Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Finished Lolita last night. Over all it wasn't a bad book, story was interesting, I just think I picked the wrong time to read it as I wasn't really in to it. I'll have to read it again sometime and see how I feel about it then I started Room by Emma Donoghue. Enjoying it so far!

I have yet to read Slam but according to the back its basically a teen pregnancy book from the point of view of the young father. I've heard good things about it so I'm excited to check it out (when I finally get around to it lol)

I'm almost done Lolita by Vladimir Nabkov, about 30 pages to go. Not sure how I'm feeling about this one. The story and premises is really interesting but his style of writing irritates me sometimes. I find he's too descriptive which distracts me from the story. Eager to finish it and move on to an easier read. This weekend I picked up MORE books. I think I need to stop shopping, bought way too many this month! Picked up the following from a second hand shop: A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris Lost by Gregory Maguire Diary and Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison Say You're One of Them by Uwen Akpan White Tiger by Aravind Adiga Slam by Nick Hornby The Virgin's Lover and The Queens Fool by Philippa Gregory The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton Bel Canto by Ann Patchett On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd Woo! I love cheap books

It varies by month but usually around $60. Sometimes more, and sometimes less than that. I spend way too much money on books!

I had ordered some books online with xmas money. They arrived last week: Room by Emma Donoghue, Please Kill me by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain, Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby. I went to a used book store this weekend and got the following: The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews, Fall on your Knees by Ann-Marie Macdonald, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie, The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, Mirror Mirror and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire, Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls, and In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje. My boyfriend bought me The Book Thief by Markun Zusak and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. And today I went to the bookstore and picked up: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People by Toby Young, Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe, Le Petit Prince (french edition) by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and Teach Yourself Essential German Verbs. An my mom picked me up a last minute xmas gift: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris. Whew! Thats a lot of books haha. Pretty sure I'll have more added to the pile tomorrow after browsing the second hand store. I'm going to need a new job just to support my book spending habits! haha
