Some are historical and they move quickly but are well written. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524254 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 21:16:14 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2524254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: One For the Money by Janet Evanovich. I love this whole series and they are some of the few books that make me laugh out loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524144 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:18:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2524144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: Seconding - her Brides quartet and Inn Boonsboro series (serieses?) are my go-to when I want something easy and light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524133 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:06:02 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2524133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Rosie project! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524130 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:00:00 +0000 delight 2524130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What Alice Forgot by Lianne Moriarty </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524120 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 18:51:42 +0000 wrkbrk 2524120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I just read a book called Catostrophic Happiness in two evenings. It's a funny memoir type book about life with young kids. Hysterical and a super easy read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524101 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 18:26:39 +0000 MrsSRS 2524101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second young adult books. I like Tamora Pierce. Or how about Tina Fey's memoirs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2524030 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 16:45:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2524030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>entertaining and easy to read I like Nora Roberts (also you get a little sexy in there) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2523984 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 15:57:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2523984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like young adult books when I have no mental energy- hunger games, or the divergent series. Also anything by liane moriarty is pretty good and light. Lately I can't even get through young adult books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2523961 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 15:43:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 2523961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best book I've read in a LONG time is The Nightinggale by Kristen Hannah, it is soooo good. It's an easy read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2523902 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:54:18 +0000 lovehoneybee 2523902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished A Discovery of Witches. Not super short, but I flew through it. Good mix of supernatural, science, and history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2523891 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:48:30 +0000 Freckles 2523891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Silver Star by Jeanette Walls.

They're sort of special ops with historical/archeological/scientific missions thrown in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/really-easy-entertaining-book#post-2523877 Wed, 13 Apr 2016 14:35:35 +0000 LAZB 2523877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to read, but just don't do a lot of it these days. We are going on vacation on Saturday for a week, and although I know I won't have a lot of time to read, I was hoping for some book suggestions. My 14 month old DD will keep me on my toes a lot, and I'll be 10 weeks pregnant, so energy is low and napping is a priority, so any suggestions for easy reads that don't take a lot of focus? I really like historical fiction, but enjoy lots of different types of reads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-584045 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:13:19 +0000 sslm 584045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Grace and @MrsH, I don't think you've o'd yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-584032 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:10:51 +0000 MrsH 584032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think O might be delayed too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583797 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:54:54 +0000 Grace 583797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, that's angry chart. I'm going to guess that O hasn't come yet (because if you look at the "good" datapoints, they are similar, and I think the big drop was a fluke). Often when the chart is super wonky, it's because O will be delayed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583795 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:54:01 +0000 red_seattle 583795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I've been charting for a while. My O day varies substantially from cycle to cycle, (anywhere from Day 12- Day 18-- I don't have a "normal" O day), which as you can imagine, makes charting to prevent pretty tricky, but do-able. Other than that, everything tends to be pretty textbook. </p> <p> @Leialou: Hmm... that's a good possibility. My body has kind of had a rough go this month between getting very, very little sleep for several days when LO was sick earlier this month, and then being sick myself following that. I hadn't thought of the possibility of that delaying ovulation. I'm going to look into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583698 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:33:34 +0000 Happygal 583698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Red_Seattle: Hi! How long have you been charting for? Do you usually ovulate around CD 17? That's what I would guess for your O date this go round, especially since it's the only day EWCM is recorded. Minus CD 20 (which shows on open dot for a different time anyway), it looks like you're temps are on the rise.</p> <p>You say there are lots of things going on affecting your chart, so I don't know if I would be concerned unless it was an established pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583684 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:29:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 583684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see what I would think to be ovulation, but your temps didn't rise. Have you been stressing about anything lately? Maybe your body geared up to O but delayed it for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-reading-chart#post-583670 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:25:20 +0000 red_seattle 583670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So-- just to explain, DH and I aren't TTC right now. We use FAM to prevent pregnancy... but I'm a little worried about this month. Usually my cycles are pretty textbook-- O days/cycle length varies from cycle to cycle, but my chart always shows a clear ovulation, clear thermal shift, basically all signs are pretty clear. </p> <p>This month has been bonkers--for a load of reasons, my chart isn't as reliable as usual. (Including, as you can tell, I haven't been able to take consistent wake time temps-- it's been between 5-7am, but still, not good for charting.) But what looks to me as my O day isn't being followed by a clear thermal shift... Do you see a pattern I don't? Can you tell at all what might be going on? </p> [attach=2130/13/mila69.471x296.Feb1chart.png]
