L reads in 2011

[Lisa]

I really enjoyed it. This was the first of his books that I read, but it had been on my to be read list for a while. I was completely drawn in to the story and the ending wasn't as cut and dry as I thought it would be which is something I really like in a novel. I have the Double Bind in my to read soon stack so I'm really looking forward to it now.

30. The Last Letterby Kathleen Shoop
Heartbreaking and unforgetable.

31.The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian
Mind boggled through most of it, but I loved it. Bohjalian really knows how to give a book a twist.

very real and emotional read.

34.Tolstoy Lied: A Love Storyby Rachel Kadish
I looked forward to reading this book from the moment I first saw it, but it took a while to find. I loved it; it was one of those comforting book about books, and realistic situations with lots of passages that I re-read for their insight.

[Lisa]

44. Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers
Never so glad to finish a book, but had to read it with my 9th grader. Need a good comfort read next.

[Lisa]

A good book that was free...can't beat that! Enjoy:)

51. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Interesting read. Everyone wants a cure for cancer, but who knew what it takes to accomplish that, or that one woman's cells had so much to do with it.
