Not sure why but I feel that I am in a reading slump. I am currently trying to read Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn but I can't make myself read it, I don't know why but its not one that pulled me in from the beginning. I know that I have to finish it because I cant start it a book and then not finish it all the way through, I guess it's an OCD thing. It's so bad that I am going to have to renew my library books just so I can finish it and have time to read the next book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Grrr it just makes me mad and I know that it shouldn't.
Okay so I just finished Before I Go To Sleep by S.J Watson. Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man. And every morning that man must explain that he is Ben, he is her husband; she is forty-seven years old; and a terrible accident two decades earlier decimated her ability to form new memories. But it's the phone call from a neurologist named Dr. Nash that directs her to her hidden journal. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her activities and rereading past entries, learning the facts of her life as retold by the husband upon whom she is completely dependent. As the entries accumulate, Christine finds herself asking more and more questions-about what she missed and what Ben might not be telling her. It took me forever to read this book, I guess because it's slow to start and some what confusing when she would write in her journal it would flip back and forth between what was actually happening to the journal entries. I started getting into it by part 3 and that's when everything starts to tie in together. I would say I was completely shocked by the twist that the author throws in there I never saw it coming. I have to say that I did not like the character that "Ben" her husband portrays. He just gave me the creeps; like he was deliberately trying to make her not remember the things that happened to her. I really liked Dr. Nash I think he wanted her to remember what happened to her as much as I did. I just found out that this was made into a movie and I am looking for it, so that I can watch it and compare it to the book like I do with every book that is made into a movie. It has Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman so it has to be good.
I have got my menu planned for next week since its my turn to cook. I am doing Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Garlic Toasty and Salad, Chicken Avocado Burritos, Pigs in a Blanket with Chips, the Breakfast Casserole (again it was so freaking good), One Pan Cilantro Chicken and Black Bean Rice, Little Smokies with Mac and Cheese and Ranch Potatoes, and Pepper Jack Chicken and Stuffing. I shouldn't be thinking about food; I am starving and I am stuck at work blah!
