I have FINALLY found a book I am actually into.
I was supposed to post a description of my #3 (STILL on #3...I've been having headaches for the past few days so I haven't really been reading too much even though I like this book!).
Whole Lotta Trouble- Stephanie Bond
"Three female mystery book editors in Manhattan have personal and professional problems galore--which intersect with one bad-boy agent. When they set out to humiliate their problematic playboy, their plans go horribly awry. The women suddenly realize that when it comes to friendship, flirtation and felony, they're in a WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE!"

There is nothing wrong with that. I think as long as you are reading it doesn't matter what it is!
I'm going to share a little something with you. I developed my love of reading from my father...He has an 8th grade education. He had a horrible childhood. His visits with his grandmother are his best memories. She taught him to read and bought him TONS of comic books.(His choice reading material) HIS father basically made fun of him for reading comics all of the time, but his grandmother told him that if he loves to read, it doesn't matter what it is as long as he's doing it.
40 years later my father STILL reads/collects comics. He has some worth quite a bit of money (#6 Superman)
He has always told me that it doesn't matter what you read as long as you READ!
BTW...One of my favorite books is considered a CHILDREN'S book. The Giving Tree

A Small Furry Prayer: Dog Rescue and the Meaning of Life
Steven Kotler
"Steven Kotler was forty years old, single, and facing an existential
crisis when he met Lila, a woman devoted to animal rescue. "Love me,
love my dogs" was her rule, and Steven took it to heart. Spurred to move
by a housing crisis in Los Angeles, Steven, Lila, and their eight
dogs-then ten, then twenty, and then they lost count-bought a
postage-stamp-size farm in Chimayo, New Mexico. A Small Furry Prayer chronicles their adventures at Rancho de Chihuahua, the sanctuary they created for their special needs pack.
While dog rescue is one of the largest underground movements in America, it is also one of the least understood. An insider look at the"cult and culture" of dog rescue, A Small Furry Prayer weaves personal
experience, cultural investigation, and scientific inquiry into a
fast-paced, fun-filled narrative that explores what it means to devote
one's life to the furry and the four-legged. Along the way, Kotler combs
through every aspect of canine-human relations, from humans' long
history with dogs through brand-new research into the neuroscience of
canine companionship, in the end discovering why living in a world made
of dog may be the best way to uncover the truth about what it really
means to be human. "
I saw your post ...I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to.
I started to read it last year but couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll see the movie and THEN try again.

That's how I feel about True Blood.
....I never got 'into' that - the books OR the show....
