by Elizabeth George Speare

Oh, Liisa! I read this book back in school. It's been forever, but I remember absolutely LOVING it. It's one of the books that I read back when I was developing a love of reading. I hope you like it! ]]> <![CDATA[Lauri added 'The New Rules of Lifting for Women']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36825649 The New Rules of Lifting for Women (Hardcover) by Lou Schuler

I loved this very quick, light read about an essay the heroine must write in order to get into the 7th level of heaven. The title of the book makes for good conversation. If you had to write an essay about the 10 best days of your life, what would YOU include? ]]> <![CDATA[Lauri added 'The End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy--If We Let it Happen']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36825254 The End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy--If We Let it Happen (Hardcover) by Arthur B.

I think this book should be required reading for those about to vote in this presidential election. ]]> <![CDATA[Lauri responded to an event]]> http://www.goodreads.com/event/show/11253-come-have-a-gilmore-good-time-first-ever-book-launch-online-at-google-l Come have a Gilmore Good Time!

I haven't seen this movie yet, but when I read the book a couple of years ago, I remember thinking that it would make a great movie. It's a beautiful story of one women's grieving and recovery, and how she worked through the first year without her beloved husband.

When I read it, I felt great empathy for Holly. Later, when my brother was killed in a tragic accident, I watched my sister-in-law go through so many of the same emotions that Holly went through. This book kept coming to mind. Cecelia Ahern is able to convey those feelings and emotions in a very empathetic way, but still keep the book a light read that you could throw in your beach bag if you wanted. ]]> <![CDATA[Lauri added 'A Place Called Here']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23452040 to: A Place Called Here (Paperback) by Cecelia Ahern
