    I don't know about y'all, but I spent most of my summer reading textbooks (mine were Chemistry). This fall, I want to make at least a little time for fun reading, especially since I've only got my Micro class left before I apply for the nursing program! So, any recommendations??? Bonus if they have anything to do with nursing (after all, that's what we're on this site for).

    Currently the only couple books I actually finished this summer were:
    -The Serial Killer Whisperer (true story about a brain injury patient who started writing to various serial killers and helping their victims' families find closure - gory but very interesting, if that's your thing!)
    -The Princess Bride (had to re-read it - I love that one, even more than I love the movie)

    If I remember any others I'll let you know!

    I found a book on the History of Nursing published in the 1920s at a used books tore. It was very interesting, I learned a lot of things that I did not know ! Also read Pride and Prejudice while doing a couple of night shifts.

    Thanks, Abigail! I was hoping someone would be a fellow history lover.

    I tried Pride and Prejudice a long time ago and could not get into it. Perhaps the zombies version would be more my speed?

    Blackout by Mira Grant. It's the last in a series about bloggers uncovering a government conspiracy in a post apocalyptic world that's been torn apart by zombies. It's actually an exciting read. Oh, and I am trying yet again to read the lord of the rings trilogy.

    I read Divergent, too! My sister is really into Young Adult books so she always makes me read them. Even though I'm 28 they're a total guilty pleasure lol. The sequel is out now too. I think it's called Insurgent
