I get asked to recommend books sometimes so here is a list of what I've read since the Christmas holidays...
The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud
In a Perfect World: A Novel by Laura Kasischke
Dream When You're Feeling Blue: A Novel by Elizabeth Berg
Somebody Else's Daughter by Elizabeth Brundage
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
and currently reading Water for Elephants: A Novel by Sara Gruen
As you can tell... I read a lot. The two I enjoyed the least were The Emperor's Children and Dream When You're Feeling Blue. The first didn't pull me into the story and the second had an ending I just didn't get on board with (still a good story).
I'm just beginning Water for Elephants... its about a traveling circus during the great depression. The characters are pretty odd (which probably isn't a surprise) so it should turn out to be an interesting book!
ok some books on my list:
ReplyDeleteamerican wife (i know, it's NOT new at all but i haven't read it!)
Committed (Elizabeth Gilbert-author of Eat Pray Love)
Hunger Games (another vampire series teehee!)
all Jane Austen
PS love your new background template :)
