I was curious to see what Kailani read in paradise and she was super sweet about doing an interview!
(Ahhh I wanna go to Hawaii!)Right now Kailani is reading All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Janelle Brown. It's about a girl named Margaret who just lost the financial backing on her new magazine venture and is completely broke. Her friends, on the other hand, are very successful in their careers. She just found out that her father left her mother on the day his company's IPO went public and he became an instant millionaire. She still hasn't told anyone about her situation.
Kailani found out about the book while browsing through the Sony ebook site and found it on their best seller list.
The last book she read? Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Growing up she was really into the Judy Blume books. (Makes me want to pick up a Judy Blume book again!) Kailani says that she always felt kind of a loner growing up and felt like she could identify with the main characters.
Her favourite book/s as an adult? "Oh my, wear do I start?", she says. "I love everything by Sophie Kinsella, John Grisham, James Patterson, David Baldacci. I also loved Memoirs of a Geisha & The Devil Wears Prada. (She's read TDWP several times!) I'm a total shopper and love books that talk about fashion & couture. And if they're also shopping for these things, all the better!" When asked which author or character in a book she'd love to spend a day with she said that she'd love to hang out with Sophie Kinsella and follow her around while she goes shopping!
She also likes mystery-thriller type books where you're surprised at the way it ends.
When asked what genre of books she leans towards more she answers, "Mostly chick lit because they're easy to read through quickly and don't require much thought." Kailani is a flight attendant and is usually reading during her breaks at work so the easier the read the better. Work is when she usually finds herself reading for for pleasure.
I've been curious to see who's using ebooks and audiobooks. Kailani reviewed the Sony Digital Reader for her blog. Thoughts?
"I recently received a Sony Digital Reader to review and it's one of the best things I've ever gotten. It's compact and easy to carry in my purse or diaper bag. I find that I read a lot more now because of it. As for digital/computer download books, for some reason I don't care too much for them. I like sitting in a comfortable chair with a book or my reader."
As a mother of 2 young daughters Kailani still finds time to read for pleasure and says that if she's totally into a book, it doesn't matter what's going on around her but she's not gonna lie, she prefers more quiet than noise when reading. And of course, aside from reading her own books, Kailani reads with her two gals alot.
Girlie Girl has had a love for books from the time she was an infant and still reads every day. Baby Bug is too active to sit through an entire book but Kailani tries to read to her at least once a day. Books of choice? Picture books because it appeals to both daughters' age groups. The best time to read together is right before bedtime.

As for her daughter's favourites, Girlie Girl doesn't have a particular type of book that she likes. It's pretty much anything that catches her eye.
(Baby Bug reading in the backseat)
If Kailani could write a book of her own it would be something about traveling. Maybe a "How To Travel With Your Kids . . . Without The Stress."
I should tell her about Band On A Diaper Run, Kori of Mates of State's blog on Babble.com about touring with the kiddies. Have I mentioned lately how much i love Kori, Jason, and their Mags and June-bug?
(Thanks again to Kailani for the interview! You should check out her blog, An Island Life. My favourite part of her blog? Aloha Fridays! Stop by then to see what I mean.)
