To anyone who hasn't read it yet, I reccomend The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. I just started it tonight, I'm on page 34, but it's awesome so far. I've seen the movie though, so maybe it means more if you've seen it.... hmm.

Right now, I'm reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. It's a fantastic book! I've been really caught up in the tale of a young girl who is assaulted and murdered and goes to her own personal version of heaven, where she's able to watch over her family as they mourn her death and try to move on with their own lives. It's lyrical and touching and I would recommend it to anyone!

I personally like anything by Patricia Cornwell. That's if you like mysteries....these are hardcore blood-dead body-gory mysteries. Great ones.

Well, I tried Little Women, but only got halfway through. It was good so far, though, and I'll probably try to finish it up some other time... If i ever go back to the library anytime soon...

I'm currently reading "The Great Gatsby" for school. It is a pretty interesting book I must admit. Next on the list is "Moby Dick,"
for school of course, and that has to be one of the largest books I've ever had to read. ugh...  I enjoy reading mystery books though. Particularly Mary Higgins Clark books  Quote:
I've been on page eighteen of that book for the longest time. I don't know if I'll ever try to read it all or not, but at least I made it that far I reckon... ks |
