And, when he's born, you'll be nursing, (I think?), and that appetite will return :) <br /><br />As for book recommendations: Straight Man by Richard Russo is my most favorite hilarious book ever. <br /><br />You could read Twilight.

Historical fiction. Highly entertaining. And The Girl.. trilogy.<br />For fluffy, love Nora Roberts. Her bride quartet is new and good.<br />Ken Follett: the titles have flown my mind but there are three by him I love that people haven't mentioned. The Third Twin, Dangerous Fortune, and A Place Called Freedom. <br /><br />I would be watching Warehouse 13, Eureka, Gossip Girl, and Glee. :)Daycare Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05902237176268251690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-38718791904220925362010-08-17T08:35:11.848-07:002010-08-17T08:35:11.848-07:00Hooray for moving that baby back on up! When I wa...Hooray for moving that baby back on up! When I was on modified bedrest and then up all hours nursing Bud, I watched the entire Murphy Brown series on Nick at Night. I was too young for it when it was on originally, but man, I loved that show!<br /><br />Have you read "Something Borrowed" or "Something Blue" by Emily Giffin? They are easy reads, but the books are meaty so you feel like you're getting something out of them. I can send you my copies if you are interested. Email me and let me know.<br /><br />Boy, you'll never read again after this! <br /><br />And I fully endorse How I Met Your Mother (aka: HIMYM) One of my favorite shows!!Salyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792107257082868851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-74987313607430811012010-08-17T07:30:21.524-07:002010-08-17T07:30:21.524-07:00Marie: you're right, I should have given some ...Marie: you're right, I should have given some idea of what stuff I like and what I've already read. Ok, so I've read almost everything by Elizabeth Berg and Phillipa Gregory. About half of Anita Shreve's novels. I have read Pillars of the Earth (thanks Hillary) but not the other one she mentioned by Ken Follett. I don't really like mystery or sci fi much, but I really like historic fction. Oh! I thought a near-perfect novel was Bel Canto. LOVED that book. So uh, there would be a template for my idea of a great read. :) <br />TV: Definitely I've watched the Tudors. But of course. I have not yet watched How I Met Your Mother or Mad Men- I've actually been saving those in the back of my mind for just such a time, so I've requested that those be put on the Netflix queu. I've not watched Lost since the first season, and I'm CONSIDERING it. But sometimes shows like that just drive my crazy. Loose ends everywhere.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-81540845684475212602010-08-17T04:47:46.579-07:002010-08-17T04:47:46.579-07:00woo hoo!!

Unfortunate...woo hoo!! THat's awesome news! <br /><br />Unfortunately, the only thing I've read lately is cheesy christian fiction. Easy reads,but not the best writing, IMO.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798842025735776242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-92076866491936285312010-08-17T04:45:27.544-07:002010-08-17T04:45:27.544-07:00I don't know if you're into historical fic...I don't know if you're into historical fiction, but there are two books I recommend to just about everyone. They are by Paul Maier.<br />"Pontius Pilate" and "Flames of Rome". And I recommend reading them in that order - because it's chronological, even though they were written in reverse order.<br /><br />When I was on bedrest for four weeks (I made it to 36 weeks before delivery and had a completely healthy 7lb baby girl, who starts kindergarten today!), I watched endless reruns of Law and Order. The original, SUV and CI.<br /><br />But maybe crime dramas aren't your thing.<br /><br />Congrats on the bedrest success!!Bethtastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554175288286237325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-88662430414700683942010-08-16T21:13:39.743-07:002010-08-16T21:13:39.743-07:00Whew about baby!

Way to retreat, little guy!<br /><br />I've been really into The Girl.. trilogy, The Hunger Games (just got the 2nd one today at the library!), I'm reading Sarah Silverman's book Bedwetter right now and it's super funny... Since you're pregnant how about The Baby Catcher by Peggy Vincent (so good!)? <br /><br />(Did you love The Help? I loved that book.)<br /><br />If you haven't watched LOST, I'd highly recommend it. It'll pass the time fo'shizzle!<br /><br />Give us feedback so we know if you are on the right track... it's hard not knowing what you've already watched/read...Marie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830798429713169174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-7455898468706059142010-08-16T19:02:40.547-07:002010-08-16T19:02:40.547-07:00Good news!

Completely horrible, impossible, and delightfully addictive. Also good: the Gilmore Girls. If you still need more after that, then I don't think you can ever go wrong with Friends and Frasier is also pretty fun. <br /><br />Books. . . I wish I could recommend something, but I'm drawing a complete blank. Oh! The Thirteenth Tale is the best book I've read in the last few years, so I'd definitely recommend that. But it's a mystery--not sure if you like that.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-16042313123496984112010-08-16T18:22:10.287-07:002010-08-16T18:22:10.287-07:00YAY!
