Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?

 Because they have to do all the work. :o) More of less that's why. I actually liked this book better than the first. It had more variety of questions in it. And I skipped all the boring author conversations so that helped speed things along. While reading I was thinking of how I could make this a fun, witty entry, and now that I'm on here and half asleep again, because I broke my rule about reading these books in the a.m. hours, I can't think of anything fun to stick in here. Oh well. Maybe next time. These really would be handy books to have around the house in case you did have a question about something, then you could just look it up.

Why Do Men Have Nipples?

 Because basically, we all start out as girls and half of us turn in to males. Simple as that. I don't know why I thought that I could read this in a day/night, but I did and now I am super tired and probably won't remember anything that I just learned. Its one of those books that is handy to have around for random times when you are curious about something, then you could just look it up. There's conversations throughout by the two authors IMing each other that got kind of boring, so that could have been left out and most of the answers flew over my head, making me wish they used a simple Yes/No for the question and then explain why that certain thing happens. Make it a little easier for those of us who made the mistake of reading it at 2am. The reason why I read this is because the authors had/have a podcast on itunes and it was really funny. And because Elisa liked it. They have another book out so I'll probably read that next, only now I have learned that it is not something to read while you are half asleep.

B is for Burglar

 This book felt like it wouldn't end. Every chapter brought a dead end for Kinsey and the whole time I had no clue who the killer was. People were using different names and she had to go to FL to pick up some clues. It was confusing. True to its title, there were lots of break-ins. Makes me glad that I live on the 3rd floor, less chance of someone breaking in, I hope. The C book was better.

C is for Corpse

 I decided to read all of the Sue Grafton mysteries from A-Z, but the library didn't have the first two, so I had to start with C, which I was pretty sure that I had read before, and now reading it again, I know that I had, oh well. I couldn't remember who the killer was, but figured it out pretty quickly this time. Something is starting to bother me with all these mysteries that I'm reading. I know that they are all fiction and for entertainment, but what if there actually were this many killers out in the world. Ones that would take you down for sleeping with your wife or husband. Seems a bit bothersome to me. Clearly one of life's lessons to learn is to not sleep with a married person, because you might end up dead. Keep that in mind.

If Looks Could Kill

 I really suck at mystery books. I can never seem to figure out who-done-it until the end of the book. I admire people who can write mysteries, because you've got to come up with a bunch of twists and turns and plots. This book was ok. Some parts were a little boring, and there were lots of twists, and it made it hard to follow, but I am looking foward to reading some other books by this author.

Can't Wait To Get To Heaven

 I love Fannie Flagg books. They take you to a place that no other book can. Most of her books have the same characters, living in a small town called Elmwood Springs. I love the stories that small towns can create. There always seem to be wacky characters who make you laugh. This book stayed true to her story telling. Old Elner falls out of her fig tree and is rushed to the hospital where the doctors call her dead. While dead you get to follow her journey to heaven, what the author feels heaven is like, and just after everyone is told that Elner is dead, she comes back to life. I wasn't expecting that twist. I like Elner because I find old people interesting, she just seems to carefree and loves life and everything it brings. It's refreshing, because most people are so negative, so it was nice to follow the story of a happy go lucky woman. Its not my favorite Fannie Flagg book, but it was still a good read.

Jemima J

I liked this book, but something bothered me about it. Jemima is a fat girl, who like most overweight people is aware that shes fat and needs to go on a diet and has tried many diets, but what I liked about her is that she didnt let others know that she was upset about her weight. She never talked about it to anyone and seemed to put on a happy front, but of course, behind closed doors she was a little disgusted with herself. So what makes her lose all the weight? Her work gets the internet and she starts talking to this guy in LA and after a few months, he wants to see her. Well of course she had sent him a pic of a model thinking that she'd never see him, so now she has to do some hard core exercising to make herself look like her fake pic. And she succeeds. I'm all for people getting in shape and being healthy, but I think they should do it for themselves and not for others. And it came off like she was doing it for this guy. But being thin doesn't change how you feel on the inside. It just changes what people see, not how you feel. The story did have a happy ending, and was a really good read.
