Books!

Hubby is back home in Ohio while I am stuck here in Texas. I tried so hard to get some time off so I could make a trip with him, but that didn't happen. Only one of my coworkers (so far) could take one of my shifts. I still let her, because honestly, the more time I get to spend with hubby the better since we are getting closer and closer to deployment time.

Hubs didn't want to leave me here by myself, but I told him I would be fine. Besides, I am a pretty independent person. I guess that's a good trait for a military wife to have. We'll see how that fares during deployment, however, seeing since I don't have any friends or family out here. But, I digress. I didn't want him to miss out on a trip home because I couldn't go. I forced him to go on his own for a week lol.

I really want to get a Kindle. I can't decide if I want the Kindle Keyboard of the Kindle Fire...the Kindle Fire is more fun but I also like the simplicity of the Kindle Keyboard.

I downloaded the Kindle app for my Macbook. The first book I downloaded happened to be this one:

I have been wanting to read this one for awhile now. I love this book! It's funny and so far everything is so true! Except my trips to the Commissary aren't nearly as horrifying haha. I started reading it earlier today after I came home from the airport and I am already halfway through. I highly recommend this one if you haven't read it already.

I have a whole list of other books on my list that I want to read, too:

* Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption - Laura Hillenbrand

* Left Neglected - Lisa Genova

* You Know When the Men Are Gone - Siobhan Fallon (I think I might read this one next...it's another military-themed novel, following the lives of several wives at Fort Hood, TX)

* The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

* Separated by Duty, United By Love - Shellie Vandevoorde

* I Love A Man in Uniform: A Memoir of Love, War and Other Battles - Lily Burana

* The Help - Kathryn Stockett

* The Making of a Nurse - Tilda Shalof

* A Dog's Purpose - W. Bruce Cannon

* Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life & Everything in Between - Theresa Brown

Does anybody have any other suggestions?
