Looking for a Good Read? My A+ Reads!

My dream home library - so not what my actual "library" looks like!

In case you haven't noticed, I have two hobbies: baking and reading. I've been good about sharing my baking adventures with you all lately, but not as super on the reading front, in part because I'm in the thick of reading a book that's taking me a long time: American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld. It's not that I don't like the book, it's just that I've only been reading at bedtime lately, and well, I keep falling asleep while reading. So my progress is quite slow at the moment, but hopefully with Husband travelling this week, I'll be compelled to read a little earlier in the evening.

In the meantime, I thought I would share with you my A+ Reads - books that will captivate you and hold your attention like no other, all marked with the official Type A Mommy seal of approval. I've read a ton of books in my lifetime (including over 200 in the second grade when we had a reading contest), but these are the ones that hold a special place in my heart and my bookshelf. Trust me, they're good.

Also, if I can manage to remember, I will continue to update this list as I continue to read more books.
