Book 27
Meg Wolitzer
THE TEN YEAR NAP
Penguin (2008)
Oh my ... 383 pages of waiting for something to happen. A real sleep inducer ... zzz
Book 26
Jodi Picoult
MY SISTER'S KEEPER
Simon & Shuster (2004)
I usually shy away from books that have been made into "major motion pictures" ... but I kept picking this book up from time to time and finally decided to purchase it.
Well-written from differing POVs ... centering around a timely, controversial subject.
I could not put this book down!

THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER

Wonderful book ... absolutely heart-breaking ... with amazingly real characters. I devoured this book over the course of two evenings.
Will definitely read more books by Kim Edwards.

LAMB
Harper Collins (2002)
This book held a strange fascination for me ... wouldn't actually recommend it to anyone as it doesn't live up to its own publicity.
However, the sheer fact that this is the "greatest story" never told from the point of view of Biff, Jesus' best friend and details the "missing years" from the Bible was enough to keep me reading.
Some great wit ... but definitely not a "must read".
