Currently I'm reading two books in one go!
Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.
WARNING: This book is the reason for me wanting to become a vegan, which means becoming a vegetarian and eliminating dairy from my diet. It has 13 chapters talking strictly about becoming a vegan in a no nonsense funny yet factual way. It talks about the important shocking reasons behind this way of living. I have already read this book once before, but decided I needed to read it again. It's written by Rory, who is a former agent for Ford Models and a self taught know it all and Kim, a former model who holds a masters of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition.
If you are tired of feeling fat, bloated or unhealthy.. This book is a MUST! Don't diss it, until you have read it! I am currently in the process of researching further, and writing up a nutritious weekly eating plan to suit me... I'm definitely eliminating dairy from my life, but, still debating on the meat.
LA Candy by Lauren Conrad.
I haven't read much of this yet, my mum only got it for me the other day! So, please don't tell me anything about it! :)
Let this be a tag! I tag all of my followers... What book are you reading?

@dazzledust25 thanks amy, that's v sweet of you! Yes, the chapter on dairy is the most shocking! X
I love the skinny bitch book;)
The LA candy, it's not my type of book really... I'm not into the LA reality life.. and to be honest I don't like Lauren :O xD But I'm always reading good things about that book though x)
@Marisa well, I shall keep you informed, I'm not really into the LA lifestyle either, but I just HAD to read it! :) I don't think I have heard one person say that they didn't enjoy the skinny bitch book. x
I absolutely love the Skinny B*tch books! & your blog!! xx
I'm reading Dawn French's autobiography.. it is regreshingly good for an autobiography! Has made me laugh and cry, all you could want in a book eh :)
I really want to read Skinny Bitch after seeing Gina talk about it on YT.. maybe I will order it next! xox
skinny bitch is really funny...l.a. candy is kind of flat...but still entertaining to read...xoxo
Oh great post! I am reading the Time Traveller's Wife again (apparently the movie sucks) -- the book is amazing!
I want to ready skinny bitch but the ideo of going on a diet or not eating dairy just makes me cry! lol.. id rather be fat and happy! (not literally as im slim.. but you know what i mean!!) xx
I have Skinny B*tch book & cookbook-both very good!
I'm reading Things Fall Apart for school. These books sound a lot more interesting.
Ohh great post! I was thinking yesterday that I shoud do a post on books I like, and the ones I wanna read. I'm probably gonna do it one of these days. But as far as Skinny Bitch (hah I just love the title), and L.A. Candy, I haven't read either one of those.. Is LA Candy Lauren just talking about her life or is it fictional?
I loved Skinny Bitch! I even have her other book, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. It's a book of recipes. :) I have LA Candy as well and I can't get past the first 2 pages. :(
thanks for the comments girls :) i will def be checking out the other 2 skinny bitch books - thanks for the recs!
@tali lol i know what u mean, but the book really puts u off, lets see how long i last :) x
@petrichor no its lauren conrad who writes about a fictional story similar 2 her lifestyle. x
I think I'm going to have to get the skinny bitch book! I'm intrigued now. xx
For some reason I've been curious about Lauren Conrads book, and I don't even watch The Hills.
I just noticed on your profile that you like Amr Diab :D. I loved one of his songs from a long time ago(Tamally Maak I think) and I've liked him ever since.
I really enjoyed reading Skinny Bitch. I just like that sarcastic tone, and I agree with many of the things they talk about. I keep meaning to pick up Skinny Bitch in the Kitch. The other day I picked up LA Candy, and I'm hoping I enjoy it. To be honest, I wouldn't have known the book existed, had it not been for all the bloggers!
As for reading, I grew up the very same way--reading like mad. I used to sneak a flashlight to my room and read under the sheets after I was meant to be sleeping! My eyes are also paying for it ;( xx
go watch a couple of Peta investigation videos and you will never want to see meat again. I've been a vegetatian, almost vegan(sometimes eat a little cheese or chocolate ;)) and it has been great. I feel great and my health has improved alot!! I must now go buy a copy of Skinny Bitch :)
I reallly want to read LA Candy, do you know if it's available in the UK?!

Id love to read Skinny Bitch.. Its been on my list of things to do for quite a while! Ive read LA Candy, I loved it! xx
Will be curious to look at "The Skinny" book. Although as a nutritional advisor and (almost there) nutritional therapist I tend to have my own opinion on what a healthy balanced diet looks like. :)
Beautiful header shot ! If you like ballet you'll love my site - Oh WOW, this is so clever - you have the most gorgeous site here and I had to stop by to leave this comment for you – and to say hello of course ! Your posts are creative and original and you have interesting pictures. It's all perfect ! Thank you for sharing your site and best wishes....
I am such a bookworm too! I read skinny bitch and I refused to eat meat for 6 months I was so repulsed and grossed out. After 6 months I started eating it again, although I sometimes still get really grossed out!! Anyway its a very funny book i loved it! xx
I think I'm gonna pick up skinny bitch after reading this! the last book I read was so depressing!
Oooh let us know about LA Candy. That's one on my wishlist! I too am a book worm..hehe. Reading 'Lovely Bones' atm, very challenging subject but written beautifully.

Ah, I should pick up LA Candy...been meaning to get it for months...should make a good light read...!
Currently reading Jose Saramago's Little Memories (have made a little polyvore set on my right blog column), he 's a great writer (Loooved "Blindness") and thinking of reading some more of his books after this...
xoxo
Skinny Bitch is great in general for anyone who wants to live healthier, or at least learn more about foods they're eating, or foods and vitamins they should have in their system if their lacking in some departments of health.
I love reading too, but at the moment I'm not reading anything. I really want to read LA Candy however.
I've read Skinny Bitch! It's very infromative and really makes you double check everything you eat! :)
@Tiff I love Amr Diabb songs, Tamaaly Maak is my fav and the one he did with shakira "ojos osi".
@fantastic same here, but im actually enjoying reading La candy, im half way through it already. I def need to check the other skinny bitch books! x
@Lovemefool i will def be watching the peta inv vids :)
@Sophia, yes it is, im from the UK.
@Little Rus most def, im still debating on everything, will have to do some more major research and plan all my meals beforehand. x
@Elise, thank you very much :)
omg I like skinny bitch. It really makes you think about what you are eating! I honestly didnt want to eat again by the time I was finished!
Dang! I didn't know reading could mess up your eyes... I'm near sighted...and I loved to read as a child too, but then again, everyone in my family wears glasses...except my brother, who oddly enough, never loved to read lol. He only uses it to see certain things. Anyway!! I wanna read that Skinny Bitch book, i was telling someone about it just the other day, but I'm reading Buddha by Deepak Chopra, and 30 Days to a more powerful vocabulary Dr Wilfred Funk/Norman Lewis
