Change in Reading Plans.......
Ok, so I've been thinking......... I really want to read something but right now I have to wait for the books that I ordered earlier to be delivered and I DON'T WANT TO!! (Yes, I may have had a little Fat Chick temper tantrum earlier but I am entitled!) I moved recently so my books are scattered all over the place but I came across a box that had some of my books in it and came across one that I have decided to start reading. I read the introduction and I loved it!! So here we go again.....
The Fat Girl's Guide to Life by Wendy Shanker
http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Girls-Guide-Life/dp/1582345538/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223008868&sr=8-1
I read some of the reviews on Amazon about the book and EVERYONE seems to just love it and see it as required reading so lets see if I feel the same! I am so excited to start reading that I just ordered 2 new pairs of reading glasses!! A pretty purple pair and a great green pair!! Can't wait for them to get here!!
Now I am off to update my fledgling website with this little jewel of information.

Fat Chick Book ideas
First, I want to say THANK YOU to those of you who have sent me reading ideas. I have gotten quite a few so I have decided to do a little sharing with my fellow Fat Chicks! As I got recommendations, I would look them up on Amazon to see if it was something that I might like since I am such a picky reader. Well, I came up with quite a few that have made a short list to be read in the next few months. I will share them with you from time to time and when I have finished one, I will share my thoughts.
The first book on my list is:
Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest To Discover if Her Life Makes Her Ass LookBig, Or Why Pie is Not The Answer by Jen Lancaster.
http://www.amazon.com/Such-Pretty-Fat-Narcissists-Discover/dp/0451223896/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3S621U5MJM2QC&colid=ASYX21KBAKB6
On the Amazon page for this book, there is a video by the author that made me laugh quite a bit. She is really funny and seems to share my point of view on Life as a Fat Chick
Book #2 is:
Size 12 is Not Fat: A Heather Wells Mystery by Meg Cabot
http://www.amazon.com/Size-12-Not-Fat-Heather/dp/0060525118/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2OR6VKJF1QPPK&colid=ASYX21KBAKB6
This one is more of a traditional Chick-Lit novel with a Full Figured heroine. I love a good mystery!
I placed an order on Amazon today so hopefully in a few days I will be reading one of these 2 books and can give you all my thoughts and ideas on the books.
