Half way there...

Since I started my goal late in the year, I'm just aiming for 30 books in a year now.  If I make it to 50, that would be great, too.  We'll see!

I'm currently reading "Daniel Isn't Talking" and have "A Girl Named Zippy" on my nightstand, you didn't like it? Should I not waste my time?

It's not that I didn't like it, it just wasn't one of my faves. It was entertaining. A different kind of read-like a collection of stories about the same girl and her family/town she grew up in. It was funny in parts. I say go for it!

What's "Daniel Isn't Talking" about???

I couldn't find anything at the library today. :( I settled on "The Undomestic Goddess".

Daniel Isn't Talking (based on a true story, I think) is written by a mother who learns her 3 year old son is austic and what the news does to her family/marriage and her quest to get him to talk/play/"be normal". Probably not the best book for me to be reading right now ;), but it's good; I'm probably 2/3 the way through. I also finished "The Thirteenth Tale" by D. Setterfield which was pretty good too. It's about a famous author (who nobody knows anything about) who is on her death bed who summons a "nobody" writer to come and write her biography and goes through her life story piece by piece. This one was good too; there's some mystery to it.

My friend made a movie out of The Kite Runner. It'll be out in November!
