Books

Well in my first post I said that I'd be back with thoughts about what I've been reading lately.....and true to form, I have never got back here to update!

Here's a list of my favourite books from this year..........

The Glass Castle, by Jeannette Walls A bio/memior, rated 4 by me!

The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, rated 5+++++ awesome book, could not put it down and I read it in one day!

The Time Traveler's Wife, by A Neffenegger, 4.5 fantasy mixed with a compelling love story, awesome!

Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, 4

Pillar's of the Earth, by Ken Follett, 3&1/2, what a massive book I found it an enjoyable read....I do like a good 'saga' story.

The Birth House, by Ami McKay 3....stirred up my passion for women to have intervention free births.


Next post will have the books that I didn't finish, or one that were disappointing.

But don't hold your breath

Hey Lisa
It is good to read your book reviews. I am taking note!
Susan (Home Grown Kids) put me on to Lynn Ausin's "Chronicles Of The Kings" series and I just can't rave about them enough! They are historical christian fiction but they really make you want to delve deeper into the bible. Love your Shelfari idea........I might pinch it for my blog!
