Book 6: Atonement (Ian McEwan)
Uncharacteristically, I watched Atonement before reading the book. I loved the movie, did some research, read a few reviews, and decided that I had to read the book for myself. Yes, the film was phenomenal; but I had a feeling that I was missing out. I had questions that I thought only the book could answer. And I was ( Read more... ) -

Book 5:
Never Satisfied: How & Why Men Cheat (Michael Baisden)
I was looking forward to reading this book, hoping it would shed some insight into how men think. I wasn't so much concerned with the "how" men cheat--they always find a way--but with the "why."

Book 4: The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank
I found The Girls’ Guide on a bookshelf in a classroom I inherited from another young teacher. I had never heard of it, was drawn in by the title, read the back cover, and brought it home for further inspection. I then saw the guide on book lists, heard it mentioned by people who ( Read more... ) -
Livro 3: Meus Queridos Mortos
Book 3: My Darling Dead Ones by Erika de Vasconcelos
When I first got this book in the mail I couldn't wait to read it. The cover jacket is wonderful--filled with old faded snapshots and letters (written in the 'original' Portuguese) that were tarnished and yellowed with age. I could hardly wait to dive into it, to start exploring the ( Read more... )
