Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics)

Easy read of a lovely spiritual journey
This book is not a heavy read, but a sit around the pool read of a woman on a journey of self discovery. All along her journey were tidbits of learning, new people, and good food. All the things that would make her savor the cultures of each place while finding her ...

American Wife: A Novel
Curtis Sittenfeld
Random House
, 2008
Well-written and thought-provoking...
After being pleasantly surprised by Sittenfeld's "Prep", I went out and purchased "American Wife" in hard-cover, which I almost never do. It was well worth the money. First of all, I appreciated the portrayal of the state of Wisconsin in the novel. Having grown up ...

Penguin (Non-Classics)

No better way to make a difference
What a book and story! I was finishing the book on a long haul flight in fall of 2008 and the flight attendant noticed and came over, put her index finger on the book and commented, "Isn't it a great book I just finished it". I could not agree more. What a book, ...

How a lie turned into the truth
Every now and then, I get my hands on a book that manages to delight right from the start and all the way through to the finish. Sadly, that doesn't happen very much any more, but when it does, oh! -- what satisfaction it brings. Such was the case with this delighful ...
One Fifth Avenue
Candace Bushnell
Voice
, 2008
Excellent!
When you read the summary of the book in the cover it does not give you a really good idea of what to expect but there is so much more to this book than you could ever imagine. This book was her best. I was so sad when it was over. It has a nice sinister, mysterious ...
Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice
Maureen Mccormick
William Morrow
, 2008
THAT'S ONE POWERFUL LADY
I had this book read in less than 24 hours. I could not put it down. Boy....and we think we have a hard life sometimes huh? It's amazing how at times we think about doing something and don't, or delay doing it and end up paying a price. How many of us expect a ...
All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)
Charlaine Harris
Ace
, 2008
Another thoroughly enjoyable chapter in the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse
I have now read all but the most recent Sookie Stackhouse novel, FROM DEAD TO WORSE (which I just ordered from Amazon -- I had intended to wait for the paperback in March 2009, but after the big events at the end of this one, I decided I couldn't wait until then), and ...
Loving Frank: A Novel
Nancy Horan
Ballantine Books
, 2008
Loving Frank
Great book! You just have to read it. The ending is so unexpected that it shocks you. I guess my biggest surpise (besides the ending) was the time that it took place. Today we would think nothing of the type of life style that they lived in, but for the time in history ...
The Jewel of Medina
Sherry Jones
Beaufort Books, Inc.
, 2008
A beautiful book, an enjoyable read!
The Jewel of Medina is a beautiful story portraying the life, struggles and love of Aisha, the second and youngest wife of Muhammed. I found it enjoyable to read (I had a hard time putting it down!) as well as allowing a glimpse into early Islam. Sherry Jones treats ...
Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea
Chelsea Handler
Simon Spotlight Entertainment
, 2008
Chelsea Handler is amazing!
Whoever wrote that you would be laughing out loud while reading this book on a plane was absolutely right! I read this whole book during a flight and I could not stop laughing. The stories she tells are out of control and they are extremely funny. Excellent book!

Sue Monk Kidd
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2003
Perfect read!
This is my second time reading "The Secret Life of Bees". This time I read it with my siblings. Its an amazing story that you truly fall in love with. I love that Sue Monk Kidd puts qoutes about the bees at the beginning of every chapter. This is definitely a novel you ...
The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Jeannette Walls
Scribner
, 2006
The Glass Castle
From the first page, this author grabbed me and I couldn't stop reading. I wanted to feel sorry for the family, but never once did I get the impression that they felt sorry for themselves. From struggle to success these kids are all surviors. My heart went out to ...
A Thousand Splendid Suns
Khaled Hosseini
Riverhead
, 2007
One of the Few Bestsellers that Deseves the Hype
First off, I must say that this is an important book. There are some reviewers who claim that Khaled Hosseini must have written this with the western reader in mind. This may be true, but in my opinion it is a good thing. He has brought the plight of Afghanistan into ...
