Since I'm actually going to BlogHer this year, you'd think I'd be blogging my fingertips off prior to the conference. However, I seem to be stuck at around once-a-week or less, don't I Part of this is because I don't have much to say. I try to keep this blog at least tangentially related to my subjective experience with eating disorders and recovery, and women's issues, including family and marriage adjustments. Obviously I get off topic easily and often, but lately I've not had much energy to channel words about those very broad topics.
That, and I can't seem to put down my Kindle.
Genre fiction: easy to read, often written in series or at least duologies, and addictive.

As far as I'm concerned, this is all HBO's fault, since if it weren't for True Blood I'd never had discovered Sookie Stackhouse. Anywho, none of these books or series is exactly like reading James Joyce, but they're quite addictive, engaging, and quite a lot of fun.

See what you started? You recommend some reading while I'm goat-free and now I don't blog anymore, either.
Hey Ali! I hope you don't mind: Vickie gave me your blog addy, so I've been popping in now and then. This thing about books and True Blood caught my eye, since I love both.
I just finished a book called _Cost_ that you might enjoy. It was by Roxana Robinson. Kinda a family saga - poignant at parts, insightful at others, but a page turner (for me at least) after about page 50. It revolves around addiction, and other things that are out of one's control, like aging and creating art (I suppose that, to some extent, is sublime).
Anyway, I liked your list, so thought I'd offer one in return. It's fantastic to have time to read things other than what I must. :]
i am OBSESSED with the sookie stackhouse books, thanks to you!! cant wait till october, where we can nerd out in all our glory.
