I keep an ongoing list on my phone's notebook app off all the books I want to read. Whenever somebody mentions a good book or I read about one in a magazine or whatever I add it to the list so the next time I go to the bookstore I can remember what it was I wanted to read.
About a month ago Russ found the list and emailed it to himself without my knowing. One day he just showed up with one of the books on the list. I was so excited not only because he did a wonderful thing for me but because I can't make a decision to save my life and the deciding of what book to read next was already done for me.
The book was "I Was Told There'd Be Cake" which is a collection of essays. There wasn't the pull of the story to keep me reading nonstop and I just finished it Friday night. Saturday rolls around and Russ gives me another book! I really wasn't expecting it at all. I guess he bought them at the same time and was waiting for me to finish the first one before giving me the second. This one is "The Time Traveler's Wife" and I am in love with it already only 150 pages in. Thank you Aimee for the suggestion it truly is a wonderful story and I can't wait to see how it ends.

Russ is awesome. Can I borrow the books when you're done?
Guess what? Our husbands must be kindred spirits because the other day I woke up and found Time Traveler's Wife next to my bed. I asked how did this get here? And Troy said, I thought I remembered you saying to one of your friends you wanted to read it. Are our huz's just surprising us or what?!
Great read. Either people love it or hate it. I loved it.
Can't wait to see the movie too although I am worried it was going to ruin the book for me.
P.S. That is really cute your husband did that. What a great idea.
ooooh I should read it too so we can go watch the movie together. Wait, when does the movie come out? Tell Russ I said "very cool", not that he cares what other people think... ;)
