One of the most thrilling things for me about finishing a new book is the excitement of getting to chose what to read next. I've been collecting new book ideas in my Good Reads list of To-Read books for a few months now and I'm so excited to read all of these soon. I know I would be lucky if I finished even three on these this summer, much less all eight of them, and I don't have a plan for what order I'm going to read them in. I like to pick my next books based on what I'm in the mood for, and I'll never know what that'll be.
The Happiness Project
Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey
Sparkly Green Earrings
Bringing Up Bébé
The Kitchen House
- You know what I love about Good Reads? I can see what books other people have read / are reading / want to read and let it influence my "what's next" dilemma. Like this book I saw on my mom's cousin Wendy's profile (if you're reading this: Hi, Wendy!). I would have never picked it up in a book store because it doesn't look like a book I would usually pick, and there is really nothing interesting about the title, but because it was on her profile I clicked through to read the description.
Relish: An Adventure in Food, Style, and Everyday Fun
- Do you watch The Chew on ABC? I watched it daily when Owen was first born and nursing kept me confined to one seat for at least 30 minutes at a time. Now if it's on when I turn on the television I'll listen while I get other things done. I enjoy a good cooking show and came to really like Daphne Oz. I've flipped through some of the recipes and I can't wait to give them a try and read the rest of the book.
The Storyteller
Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald
So I'm not even going to say that I'll stick to this list. I might even read something else that's not on the list. What are you reading right now? What have you been reading lately? Any recommendations?

Thanks for the list! I'm always looking for good reads! Will check some of these out! :) I always have a hard time deciding what to start next! :)
Reading The Storyteller right now. I have such a list of books to read (and you added even more), I'm not even sure what to read next! I just read Sparkly Green Earrings, good book and a quick read! I want to read the next book after Devil Wears Prada---I can't remember the name but I think that's next in line!
