Its definitely NOT a beach read, as it tells the story of a mass school shooting from the point of view of the shooter's girlfriend of 3 years. It is very well written. <br /><br />I also finally got around to reading The Help. I think I am probably the last woman in America to do so.<br /><br />Just before that, based on a good friends recommendation, I read Are You There Alone by Suzanne O'Malley. It is the story of Andrea Yates that wasn't told by the media. I am usually not a fan of the true crime genre, but was fascinated. O'Malley did a great amount of research and when I finished, my entire perception of the crime was different. There is an underlying theme of what society perceives as normal behavior by mothers, and the expectations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185333410348757697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-83466664288065593802012-07-20T21:30:09.638-04:002012-07-20T21:30:09.638-04:00I love to read too.

I read Bergdorf Blondes and The Debutante Divorcee (also by Plum Sykes)...love them both! Not sure if you have read/like any of the Shopaholic books...But Sophie Kinsella wrote a bunch of books as Madeline Wickham (I think). They're different than the Sophie Kinsella written books...I really liked Gatecrasher. I also love A Total Waste Of Makeup (the author's name is escaping me right now...and it's 3:22am, I'm too lazy to look it up).<br /><br />My three favourite books are: Prep, Valley of the Dolls and The Great Gatsby. If you haven't read any of them...high recommend them! If you lived closer, I'd just drop off a bunch of books to you to borrow =)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562912804147323249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588048192582431507.post-85610195256852562102012-07-19T15:47:30.107-04:002012-07-19T15:47:30.107-04:00Silver Girl is on my nightstand, starting it tonig...Silver Girl is on my nightstand, starting it tonight!

It is a modern re-telling of the book of Hosea in the Bible. It is very good. It is sometimes sorta intense. I felt like I had to finish it to get my life back. :) Go look it up on amazon. It has over 1,000 positive reviews.AngelaVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355704835751034252noreply@blogger.com
