First, here are the 5 books that I am currently reading:
Jenny McCarthy's "Baby Laughs" book it just plain hilarious! I read her book Belly Laughs in a day while I was pregnant. This book is much tha same, but again I can relate to her stories on a different level- being a MOM! If I were you, and if you are a mom {soon to be mom} add this one to your collection as well.
Jaycee's book "A Stolen Life" is just down right sad... so, so, so.... sad. I hate to think that there are people like her kidnapper out there. It's SO interesting that 1% of the population {per this book} are victim of kidnapping. I have my own memory/story about a "kidnapper" and at one point in my life I had wanted to do something in the field of helping families who have suffered, who do suffer from kidnapping- but there is NO way my heart would be able to let go and leave that kind of work at the office. I am just SO happy that life finally fell into place for Jaycee and that she was brave enough to share her story with the world. I am still not done with this book {I have been reading it here and there on my Mom's nook} but I am to the point where she "escaped" and her story is truly unbelievable!
Todd Burpo's family story "Heaven is for Real" is the exact reason that we need to start attending church on a regular basis. This story had me, still has me thinking... some of the details in this book are so hard to believe but after reading about it you can't NOT believe it, check it out- this book is a quick read, I started it and finished it in less than a week.
And finally... I am currently reading "The Bone House" by Brian Freeman. This author is husband to a high school classmate of my Mom's- so a local author in a way. He has a series of books, but The Bone House is a book that is solo from the series. It's not my typical read {murder mystery} but so far the story has me hooked and I can't wait to find out "who done it!?"
...so why again am I reading 5 books at once- well... if I thought baby brain was crazy while being pregnant- it's WORSE when being an actual Mom! My concentration levels are not as high as they used to be and I can only get so far in a book before baby needs mommy- so... finding books that have stories within are the best and nothing all too serious and involved are great as well.
...Any suggestions on what I should pick up next!?

I LOVED Heaven is for Real. I would recap what I read for the day to Scottie all the time and we were both taken back.
I really really want to read the Jaycee Dugard book too.
