Hey there!

I know the feeling of needing books... Lately I have loved "The Worst Hard Time" but it's sad - about the Dust Bowl and the families who stuck it out there. But it's fascinating. I'd recommend "Eat, Love, Pray." It's about a woman who travels the world focusing on those three things in order to recover from life's twists and turns. I love it. Maybe I'll bring my copy to the potluck tonight for you? I'll try to remember to do that. :) See you soon yayyyyy!

]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17702309 to: Atonement (Paperback) by Ian McEwan
Perhaps the most beautifully-written book I've ever read, in terms of McEwan's mastery of language. I'd recommend it for that alone, even if the story wasn't gripping and exciting. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13723423 to: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7) by J.K.

Very well written and totally shaming book - Boyle exposes without mercy the racism of Southern California (most of California? most of the West?). I was squirming with discomfort, and raging against that horribly misleading phrase "the American dream." ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5349103 to: Of Love And Other Demons (Hardcover) by Gabriel García Márquez
