Family of six--one of the few!--in Bethesda MD.
Boo!
The Fam
Latest Library Checkouts
- Princess Sonora by Gail Carson Levine. She's one of my fave adolescent authors. If you haven't read Ella Enchanted--get to it!! This is cute, but not as good as EE.
- Nim's Island (one of Emma's library checkouts). Adorable.
- Personal History by Katherine Graham (ran the Wash. Post for years). Heavy tome, but a fascinating walk through the last fifty or so years of Beltway Politics (and she was thrust into the boys' club--and thrived). I liked it because I like politics and I live in DC. Unless you find these exciting, you might be bored :)
- Ahab's Wife/The Star-Gazer. Interesting take on the woman who might have married Ahab (of Moby Dick chasing fame). Not a light read, but good storytelling.
- The House of Sand & Fog. Good, but emotionally draining. Not really recommendable.
- Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. I love his books about women from the OT. This was a modern retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Adorable.
- The Whiteness of Bones. WEIRD!!!
- The Host (by the chick that wrote Twilight). My first foray into her stuff--good book. Totally recommend!!
- Wicked: weird. Verdict: save yourself loads of time & being weirded out. Just see the musical!!
- Anne of Green Gables: Adored it!! (how I'd not read this yet, I know not.)
- Life of Pi--we'll see how it is VERDICT: Amazing book--Highly recommend!!
- Atonement (so not what I thought) Spoiler Alert--mostly a WWII novel; not so much a love story
- A Prayer for Owen Meany GREAT
- Mermaid Chair --LAME!! summary: empty-nest mom commits adultery w/a monk. Nice.
- The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls (rocked!)
- Taming the Flame (Hey--this is to hone my bbq skills)
- My Sister's Keeper by Judy Picoult WOW
- Lucy Sullivan's Getting Married by Marian Keyes (not as good as her book Watermelon)
- Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett--a whopper, but great
- The Friendship Test--new author, hmm VERDICT: dumb
- Can You Keep a Secret? By Sophie Kinsella (one of my fave authors)
