Life Gets So Complicated When I Try To Read Too Many Books At Once

So.... I am currently reading:
1) The Help--started it yesterday. Was up with it until 2:30 last night before Travis gave me the look that meant GO TO SLEEP! I can't stop thinking about it today and can't wait until I can get back to it.
2) Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald--darn cute book for the kiddies. Teaches about manners and chores and all those things that we parents struggle with. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a GENIUS I tell you!!!
3) Delivered From Distraction by Edward M. Halloweel, M.D. and John J. Ratey, M.D.--a book about dealing with ADD. AMAZING book!
4) The Book of Mormon--I know I should be constantly reading this one but I don't. I am however doing pretty good and I'm in Mosiah reading about Abinadi. Good stuff!
5) The Big Red Bike by E.J. Tims--bought this guy at Costco the other day. The author was there. Nice guy. Probably wouldn't have bought it without hearing his story. He says it's about learning the importance of hard work and persistence. Jaden HATES to work, any kind of work. So I thought maybe this would help. We'll read it together as soon as I get done reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle to him.
6) Fablehaven Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary by Brandon Mull--Travis is actually reading this to the kids. I am just listening in because I have already read it. I am so EXCITED that the last book is finally out! The problem in that I am in the middle of all these other books! I really need to get them done so I can read this new one!!!

& 7) Baptists at Our Barbecue--I haven't technically started this one yet but it's what we're reading for book club this month. We wanted something easy. One gal read this and said it is hilarious. Much Much MUCH better that the movie apparently. I'm the next one in line for it to get passed to, so I really have to get on the ball and get these other books done.

I have more than a couple on my nightstand too! I checked out Fablehaven from the library, but haven't started it yet. I will need to get on that.
