Something Blue

Something Blue - Emily Giffin I found the main character not very appealing in the beginning but ended up liking her and the story in the end.

Evening Class

Evening Class - Maeve Binchy It was OK. I did find that I lost interest along the way sometimes. It may not have been the story's fault though. I have had my mind on other things.

When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection

When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection - Gabor Maté I felt like this book was written about me. I saw myself on almost every page. Now if I could only figure out what to do about it.

The House at Riverton: A Novel

Angel Falls: A Novel - Kristin Hannah Really enjoyed it.

The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd A truly enjoyed this book. A friend of mine lent it to me as she noticed that I was always reading and felt I would enjoy it. She was right. I also now have the movie on DVD. It is very well done and follows the book very closely.

Sarah's Key (Special Gift Edition)

Sarah's Key (Special Gift Edition) - Tatiana de Rosnay I found this book amazing yet sad. It is hard to believe how cruel humans can actually be. I read a lot of books and many I sell or give away after I have read them. Not this one, it is a keeper.

Overwhelmed: Coping with Life's Ups and Downs

Overwhelmed: Coping with Life's Ups and Downs - Nancy K. Schlossberg Read this book a while ago. It is one of those books that must be read several times. You get more out of it each time. My favourite saying is from this book.

What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures

What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures - Malcolm Gladwell Tried to read this book on several occasions but it just did not keep by interest. I finally decided not to bother with it anymore so I have never finished it. It may be a good book but not for me.

The Help Deluxe Edition

The Help - Kathryn Stockett Really enjoyed this book. However, it does make me angry that their is so much prejudice in this world. We have come a long way but we still have a long way to go.
