Book Forty Three
Day One Hundred and Five

Debbie  Macomber "Hannah's List"

Lisa gave me this book and told me it was a good read but I could read it whenever. Its the last day of 2010 so the library is closed until Sunday. So today is whenever...

Janet Evanovich" Wicked Appetite"
313 pages

I began playing a game on my cell phone on Sunday that caused me to lose my mind and this book took longer than it should have. It was cute. It had a different main character but still written in her same funny style.

My friend Lisa and I devour her books whenever they come out... apparently this is a different main character from the others... weird.

Nora Roberts "The Search"
488 pages

Nora Roberts is one of my fall back authors. Her books are good, the story moves along well but I wouldn't put myself on the hold list at the library as each new one comes out.

Julie Klam " Please Excuse My Daughter"
257 pages

I did a lot of TV watching and stressing about work in these past twelve days. I also went to FL to see my family. This book was read but not with very much enthusiasm. It wasn't the books fault though. I just had too much other stuff on my mind. Its Christmas Eve today. Off to start a new one...

Julie Klam "Please Excuse My Daughter"
257 pages

She wrote another book I just recently read.... You Had Me At Woof. Loved that one so figured she'd write another good memoir.

Emma Donoghue "Room"
321 pages

It was written very well and it was extremely haunting. Its beyond comprehension that something like this can actually happen. Great book.... I highly recommend it.

Emma Donoghue "Room"
321 pages

I've heard a lot of good things about this book. Its similar to the JC Dugard story (Google it if you have to) but I think it might be told from the child's perspective... if its written well this is going to be haunting.

Mona Simpson "My Hollywood"
369 pages

I limped through these pages dreaming of going to the library to get more books. I skimmed... I can see why the premise of the story is interesting but it just doesn't live up.

Nick Hornby "Juliet, Naked"

Two thumbs up... a little slow in a few parts but it was a good story. Can't see how it would be a good movie but I'm sure someone will try.

Whoopi Goldberg "Is It Just Me? Or is it nuts out there?
195 pages


She said she didn't want to come across as a complaining celebrity... she succeeded for the celebrity part. She just sounded like someone who wanted to write down everything that annoys her. And while she may be right on a lot of it, I just didn't care that much.

Jonathan Franzen "Freedom"
562 pages

562 pages... that's a long book. And there aren't very many chapters or section breaks. It's hard for me to read a book like that. But overall it was good. I like the way he told you a story and then 100 pages later you may hear a part of that story from another person and learn something very interesting about it.
