Autobiography of a face, by Lucy Grealy
Finally got the third book of the Inheritance Series, named Brisingr. I just started listeing to it. I think I'm bored with this series. It's really for young adult readers (then again, so were the Harry Potter books), but I want to finish the series.
Next up (I'm ripping it on my computer) is The Given Day, by Dennis Lehane....anyone read it?
try Running With Scissors. I'm about halfway through it now - a hilarious memoir.children who triumph over adversity and mentally ill and irresponsible parents
I read The Time Traveler's Wife several months ago. Have you noticed that every time travel book seems to name the heroine of the story Clair, Claire or Clare? I might be wrong, but I've read about 6 or 7 time travel books and there is always a Claire (or version thereof).
Genny, I was listening to that book on tape. I found "Running With Scissors" difficult and painful. I know that you aren't the first to tell me that it was funny but I just thought it was awful. I'm not sure why I found it painful to listen to. I ended up not finishing it. It made me sad to think that kids lived in such abuse with no one noticing. I just didn't get the humor as much as a need to be provocative, maybe?!? Again, I just seemed to miss what most people saw in that particular book.
I, too, really enjoyed The Tea Rose and just finished The Winter Rose in the wee hours of this morning. By accident I picked up The Girl In The Photograph and Northern Lights because of the last name Donnelly.....it is another author altogether. I enjoyed both books, lol. I think the authors first name is Gabrielle. Quick reads and pleasant.
Right now I have started Call Me Ted by Ted Turner. I'm finding it very interesting and well written. DDD
