adult books

1. the greatest salesman in the world by og mandino
I have to read this as a part of my pacesetters for Mary Kay, March 2011

2. The glass castle by Jeannette Walls
3. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
both of these were for my mom's group, August and September 2011

4. A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenenfelder
5. The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
I read both of these on my vacation in June 2011

6. Digging to America
I read this for my mom's group book club.  The story of two girls adopted from Korea and their and their families lives.  The book didn't really have a climax or any drama leading up to it, unless you can count the relationship between the grandfather and other grandmother.  It was kind of a let down.
7. Wench in January 2012 for my book club
8. MWF seeking BFF I found this one while looking at Barnes and Noble one night before the baby was born.  I read this quickly and even sent a note to the author!  It made me realize that if I am really going to make more friends, I have to be the one to make the effort to talk to people.

On my nightstand
The Gift of Rest
the Lady of the Rivers
The Shadow of the Wind

the interesting thing is that I thought this might take a while, but because I kept track it was much easier than I though to accomplish this.  I am a voracious reader and if I enjoy something, I can't put it down until I am finished.

And if I keep at this rate, perhaps I will be able to compete with Miss Amy!

9. I finished the Gift of Rest a little while ago and took quite a number of ideas away from it...some of which will end up on my next list of 101 things.  I ended up returning the Lady of the Rivers, but have picked up a couple more from the library from various references.

10. I just finished The Shadow of the Wind for my book club...wow I think this was a great book, loved the mystery and how it really was like a set of those little Russian dolls, one secret within another.
