decisions decisions

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM) Children's Vaccinations (What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About...) I read this book as Mike and I were trying to decide what to do about vaccines before Hudson's 2 month well baby check. While it was helpful, I liked Dr. Sears' Vaccine Book better. This book did have some new information about the connections between vaccines and autism and autoimmune diseases. The actual parts about the vaccines was descent. Sometimes, her descriptions of the actual diseases was scarier than the description of the vaccine reactions. I was disappointed with the sections on a few vaccines that she doesn't recommend. She didn't have much information. I felt that if she wasn't recommending them, she should have even more information so I could know why.

so-so

Still Missing Just finished reading Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. I almost put it down halfway through. I had a really hard time getting into this book. The voice seemed very harsh and detached from the story. I think that was actually the point. The story is told from the point of view of a woman who was abducted and escaped an is telling her story to her shrink. About half way through the book, it almost seemed like someone else started writing. The story became much more interesting and had more energy and life. I did manage to finish it, but I'm not sure I'll read anything else by this author.

be prepared to be scared

I just finished reading Deeper than the Dead by Tami Hoag for one of my August fiction books. I love Tami Hoag as an author & this book did not disappoint. I had no idea who the killer was until it was revealed in the book. It was one of those books I couldn't read before bed and certainly couldn't read it when Mike was gone last weekend. When I went to the library today, I picked up some less scary books so I can read them before bed.
