Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a full-time mom and wife living in rural Ohio.
I make vegetarian recipes with simple ingredients and blog about my family's adventures and disasters along the way. Thanks for visiting! xx 
I finally finished Jennifer Weiner’s Good In Bed. I loved the character Cannie, but I have to admit this was not my favorite Jennifer Weiner novel. I definitely did not expect the ending of the book and I always love a good turn of events so that kept me intrigued but overall I felt like the book was a bit slow. I think it’s because in order to really understand Cannie we had to take a look into her not so awesome past. I was more interested in Cannie’s future and what was going to happen next.
I read in the back of the book that Cannie was to make a cameo in the book In Her Shoes but I don’t remember reading about her so I practically want to re-read it.
Anyways, I really loved Cannie. She’s a “larger woman”, she likes to eat and she is my kind of girl. I loved her sense of humor, even if it was the result of heartache. Overall, I would recommend this book and thought it was a worthwhile read.
Now, what shall I read next? Suggestions?
Find my book list {HERE} and check out Paperback Swap, I recommend it and use it all the time!

This was her first book I think and the first one I read of hers. Her books have gotten better, but this was still a good one!
Oh, you're right! I just looked it up. I didn't know that was her first book, that's cool
What about Eat, Pray, Love? I'm almost finished with it and I've really enjoyed it.
I've never heard of the paperback swap – I seriously might have to check that out!
I'm not gonna lie, "eat, pray, love" was pretty terrific
I read it when if first came out and am re-reading it again before I go see the movie!
I read this book as well I had never heard of this author until a friend referred me. I loved "Eat, Pray, Love" as well but here lately Kristin Hannah is an author I have read a lot of. Her books "Firefly Lane" "True Colors" and "Summer Island" have all been great to me and I'm in the process of reading "Between Sisters". I really should check out paperback swap I always love reading what my friends have and I"m sure there are tons of other people out there with amazing taste I'll look into it. Can't wait to read more of your book reviews!
I read this book probably 6 or 7 years ago, and LOVED it at the time. I couldnt wait for her next book to come out. I forget what happens- remind me!!
You should Jennifer Weiner's Certain Girls…its the sequel to good in bed.
I have that one sitting on my to read shelf…along with way too many others. HA!
Any of the Nicholas Sparks books are awesome! I have them all. The Wedding is the sequel to The Notebook, A Bend in the Road is good too. You can't go wrong with him as an author
Snowflower and the Secret Fan was a fantastic read about Chinese women in 19th century. Reading The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo now and can't put it down.
