Finished Bone Black: Memories of Girlhood by bell hooks. Great book... I love bell hooks' writing, especially when she's discussing her life experience. It was a super easy read, and I learned a lot about how her worldview was shaped by childhood. I loved that almost every chapter (62 in total) was about another person or experience she dealt with. I will definitely read it again, for better understanding at some point.

Starting "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" by Jared Diamond in a bit!

One of my books
 

I bet you might like my book :) It's what I secretly call a believable Harry Potter based on Biblical 'magic'. See, that's why I say secretly! ;) It's not Biblical in any way that anyone would really even notice, and the magic is not flying and turning people into animals. It's about a boy who finds himself in a world of other people who have come through an abusive life to end up in a world of Knights, Tellers, Healers and (the only really overtly magical part) dragons.

I just finished rereading the Harry Potter books for about the 3rd time. I'm also reading them with my kids, so still getting my HP fix regularly.

Whoever asked about Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series... I LOVED it.. it is my all time fav series.

Currently, I've been reading Christian fiction in the form of Terri Blackstock.. I've read most of her stuff in the last couple of months. I also have been rereading Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality.. I saw them at the library the other day, and remembered that they were good long ago when I read them the first time. Still good, I am sending them to hubby as he wants to read them.

Next up, I'm thinking I will do Twilight and see what all the fuss is about.. Hope I won't be disappointed.. I love vampire stuff.

I'm about 100 pages into The Pillars of the Earth and really enjoying it so far. I wish I had more time to read, but just when I get into it the baby needs me! That's ok, though -- he's a sweetie. :)
