I forget the author, but it was really good and a historical fiction, which I love.<br /><br />One of my fav books, Her sister's keeper, I just saw that they are making into a movie...<br /><br />Now I'm sad to say that I need to get to the library because I need a good book. I have been going threw my mom's collection of summer reads...lots of Mary Higgins Clark. I like the mysteries now and then, but its time to move on.Melissa Waltersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-23392741690076788542009-05-04T15:39:00.000-05:002009-05-04T15:39:00.000-05:00Oooh - and a big YES to the Giver mentioned in the...Oooh - and a big YES to the Giver mentioned in the first post.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-3677735190989699692009-05-04T15:38:00.000-05:002009-05-04T15:38:00.000-05:00I'm a huge fan of your book recommendations, so th...I'm a huge fan of your book recommendations, so thank you!<br /><br />I read the Twilight series and enjoyed it! I did catch a few "plot flaws" - and they've been written about extensively - but it did not lessen my enjoyment of the series. I've always been a little in love with Edward Scissor Hands, and that's whose face I kept seeing as Edward in the book. :-)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753205572837649406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-46932534071212379232009-05-01T08:16:00.000-05:002009-05-01T08:16:00.000-05:00When I finally got my library card a few months ag...When I finally got my library card a few months ago, ntb, the first thing I took out was Lord of the Flies on CD. (I thought it'd be easier to listen to a story than to read while I was caring for my newborn. I've found this not to be the case whatsoever, and accordingly, had to renew the thing three times before I got through it.) LOTF was never required reading for me for some reason, and I always felt in the dark when someone, say, "had the conch." Holy crap. What a story!Actchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320025313541534433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436677792458357476.post-5573030558096976982009-04-30T21:24:00.000-05:002009-04-30T21:24:00.000-05:00"the book thief" may well be one of my favorite bo..."the book thief" may well be one of my favorite books of all time. and i actually didn't even know it was aimed at young adults until i read the cover when i was more than halfway through the book. the only other "young" book that comes to mind as a favorite is "the giver" by lois lowry. loved it.<br /><br />and i have to say, mep, that i am inspired by the way you are the opposite of a book snob when, being the dr. that you are, you'd have every right to be one! i think i will now proudly flaunt book 3 of the twilight series whenever i get around to reading it instead of reading it hiding in my bedroom like i did the first two!mshnoreply@blogger.com
