any good books?

Just wondering if anyone has found any good reads....I am looking for something to help me feel "normal" throughout this journey.  I am currently reading "inconceivable" but it was not really what I was looking for.  Thanks girls!!!!!!!
TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with low sperm count ER 1/23/13- 4 eggs retrieved IVF/ICSI#1 3 eggs fertilized ET with 1 embryo 1/28/13 2 frosties beta #1 2/5 was 4.8- beta #2 2/7 3.5; BFN FET #1- transferred one beautiful 4AA embie. Praying this is my take home baby. Beta 5/7/13- BFFN!!! Planning on IVF#2 fresh cycle with the hopes of transferring 2 embryos this time...keeping that frostie nice and safe for later use. Prayers welcomed!!!!

What kind of books do you like? I am reading A Walk Across The Sun, and it's a story about child trafficking. It's so good! Worth looking up!

So Close

Waiting for Daisy

These two were my favorites that I've read - I also read Inconceivable but I agree with you it really doesn't make you feel better - just more worried your RE might screw something up!
