This was quite an interesting book. It reminds me somewhat of "A Room With a View"--British ladies "finding themselves" during a vacation to Italy. This one is more serious, though. It delves into the theme of marriage, and how one's personal identity affects such an intimate relationship. I'm making it sound boring, though! It wasn't at all--I could hardly put it down. It really was a delight. I remember really liking the movie as well. . . ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37835497 to: A Brighter Garden (Hardcover) by Tasha Tudor
This is gorgeous--a feast for the eyes and the spirit. Dickinson's poetry paired with Tudor's lovely illustrations makes for a book that I want to return to over and over. This is one I would like to own! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70038218 to: Our Mutual Friend (Paperback) by Charles Dickens
I really liked this one until the very end. There is a twist in the plot that I find very implausible, and I don't think Dickens quite pulls it off this time.
It's still very good, of course, and I enjoyed reading it! Just not one of my favorite Dickens. . . . ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74340982 The Shadow of the Wind (Paperback) by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Unfortunately my morning sickness coincided with this book (not literally!) and it has tainted my association with it. Not sure if I'll ever go back. . . .
Silly, I know, but if you've ever had bad morning sickness, you'll understand. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19979699 to: The Other Boleyn Girl (Paperback) by Philippa Gregory

This book is pornographic. I can't read filth like this. Unfortunately the mental images produced by reading the first 3 pages are now stuck in my brain.
I do not recommend this author. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34777585 The Invention of Hugo Cabret (Hardcover) by Brian Selznick
