Today I visited the doctor's office for my follow-up appt for the gallbladder surgery. It was great to finally hear what extra work he did...completely different then what Jeff had described! Then he explained that my gallbladder had turned on itself and kinda folded over...so it couldn't empty and that probably caused the gallstones (had 3 stones) and the gallbladder was quite inflamed. Long story short...all is well now and I'm all clear...I have no dietary restrictions or anything. I had a great doctor and hopefully it will be the last time I see him! :)

I hope keeping a list helps me keep track of books that I read a little better and I am sure that I will add others as the year goes on that are not on this list. I also like to read religious books too in addition to other books. I am reading "Your Faith Your Life" by Jennifer Gamber now as I read "The Language of Flowers" (which I started last night and it is good so far!)
I also found some blogs that had a post with some books listed that look good...so check them out HERE, HERE and HERE for even more ideas. The author John Green has some books out that look interesting too. Also "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese, "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and "On the Island" by Tracey Garvis Graves are ones that stick out in my head of books that I really enjoyed in the past and you should read!
Well if you made it through the end of this post...you probably like books too...I would love to hear about books that you love that are not on the list or if you have read one on my list...did you love it?

Thanks for stopping by my best of 2012 list and for linking to it here. I see The Lost Wife is on your to-read list. I loved that book, too! I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
