Oprah

I have been reading a blog on blogspot - Living Oprah - this lady lived by Oprahs every word for 1 year -2008. She watched Oprah daily, read her magazine every month, visited her website for any advice she needed. If Oprah said "you must go see Celine Dion in concert" she went and bought tickets to see it. It was a really interesting blog because not only did she tell you everything Oprah wanted "America" to do but also what she thought about her experiences.
I read the blog and anytime she mentioned a book I added it to my Amazon shopping cart. 6 books later I spent almost $40 and $25 of that was on shipping!! You can tell that "The Oprah Effect" has led millions of American women to have books that she swore they had to read. 6 months later, they are all trying to sell their books on amazon for any money they can get to declutter (which is one of the books I bought -ironic YES) So in 6-8 days I will have 6 new books to read, my proudest was a book I bought for $0.77 plus $3.99 in shipping but you can't find books for even $4.78 anywhere, yeah I could have libraried them but I have this addiction to books. My shelves are filled at my parents home with books and here too. I have my favorites -anything by Nicholas Sparks, especially THE WEDDING, its the "sequel" to The Notebook and it makes me bawl my eyes out everytime I read it, I think I just finished my 6th time. And there are books I have never read, lots of them from Blakes mom I just haven't gotten around to. But as part of my new found Adult world, I will be reading more!! Not having to read textbooks always puts me in the mood to read. Currently reading -The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd.
