The Princess Bride is a good book:)

Another recommendation for Alexander McCall Smith, but this time for the Isabel Dalhousie books.

I loved reading "The Shadow of the Wind" by Zafon when I was pregnant. Let us know if you find some good titles!

Ooh, if you can do some marathon reading...I recently finished the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. It's a teen series and it definitely has some intense bits, but I'll give away the end of the series by saying that is has a very happy ending. It's basically teen romance, but was not intended to be in the teen genre.

The characters (especially the male lead) are very lovable and I became quite attached. :)

I just finished reading "The Egg and I" by Betty MacDonald. Hilarious! It's not very PC or AP (she has a baby in the book), but it's incredibly funny. Have you found anything yet?

We always read to each other at night before going to bed while I was preggy. Our favorite was Dave Barry--he is hilarious. I had to go the bathroom a lot as I was laughing so hard, but it really helped with the nasty nightmares I would have.
