wow. The Time Traveler's Wife was amazing. it was such a sad and happy ending all at once. its hard to explain. but i definitely recommend it to anyone.

When Patty Went to College was a pretty good/quick read. I don't really recommend it unless you're into older reads. It didn't peak my interest much because i couldn't relate to the speech, the manner, nor the situation of their college experience. But it's nice to see the difference between girls in college now, and girls in college back then.

Black Flies A Novel really takes you on into another world. The world of being a paramedic and struggling to figure out good and bad, and which good is the right good for you. sounds confusing. but it was a really great book.
