I'm still working on this one.









The Cookbook Collectors

An audio book I'm listening to. It's the story of two sisters and the give-and-take you must be part of in any relationship.

Imperfect Endings by zoe Fitzgerald Carter

I finsihed listening to this over the weekend. I really liked it although I should have known better to read it around the anniversary of my Dad's death.







Coming Up Next:
Bud, not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

I've been seeing this one a lot in the Children's Award-Winning Books Carnival so I picked it up.


Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

I thought this would be fun to listen to in honor of Halloween!

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larson

With all the recent fuss over this trilogy, I decided to read them and see what it was all about. I haven't had a lot of tiime to read lately so I'm only about 40 poages in, but so far, considering I wasn't sure this was my "type" of book, I am enjoying it. I'm looking forward to having a nice chunk of time to read some more!






Imperfect Endings by Zoe

this is the story of a woman with PArkinson's who asks her daughters to help her kill herself. It is told from the perspective of one of the daughters. During my college years, I was very "into" assisted suiside and Dr Kervorkian and read everything I could get my hands on so this appealed to me in some way.

My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares

For a book that I only picked up because I recognized the author's name (she of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fame), I have to say that this one left me speechless. It's the story of a man who remembers the multiple past lives he has lived and he is looking to reunite with his first true love whom he continues to meet in mutliple lives. It's sounds weird but it's hard to explain. Trust me when I sayt it was absolutley wonderful!!!


Coming Up:

I'm guessing it may take me awhile to get through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I returned The Girl who played with Fire and I'll probably just pick it up when I get done with this one. Definitely still want to read Wuthering Heights. Not sure what I'll listen to next.
