5. The Real Skinny on Losing It by Michelle McKinney Hammond
This was an entertaining read. I liked her tone of voice & identified greatly with her food issues. There were somethings I disliked, though. You can read my full review for more info.
6. Rhythm of Secrets by Patti Lacy
I had a hard time reading about some of the trials the main character went through, but the end made it all worthwhile. I wrote a full review earlier this month.
7. A Trail of Ink by Mel Starr
I was surprised as to the style of writing when I first opened it up, but really liked this book. Stay tuned for a full review ;).

22 February 2011 at 10:44 PM (14 years ago)The Real Skinny on Losing It sounds like it would be interested, except that I KNOW I couldn’t survive a fasting… not the best way for me to be a good mom, that’s for sure. 🙂

That’s kind of where she lost me. I’m nursing. Or pregnant if I’m not nursing. Fasting=no go. I’m sure a lot of other women my age are in the same boat.

A Trail of Ink was a great book. I’m going to try to find the others (this was 3rd in a series).

It is. There is some typical, old-school, man-on-man violence — like fights, getting tied up, etc. — but its all kind of glossed over. even the one scene where they find someone dead is not gruesome in description. I really enjoyed it!
