I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It's about a girl's life in Afghanistan. I really enjoyed Kite Runner and his writing style so I thought I'd give it a try.
My Oh My! Just got back from a 15 day vacation to Europe and after the numerous day trips, we basically retired to our suite and read for hours each afternoon.
Let me see if I can name them all!
City of Saints (a freebie for my Kindle--okay read)
Never Knowing by Chevy Stevens (good)
Touch and Go by Lisa Gardner (one of my favorite authors--another good one)
The Ocean at the end of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
The Mill Valley Recluse (finished this on the plane to Spain)
The Forgotten by David Baldacchi
The Racketeer by John Grisham
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (now I have to watch the movie again!)
And finally The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling (part way through).
I'm reading "A Vision of Murder" by Victoria Laurie. It's the third book in her Abby Cooper series, about a woman who's psychic. I'm about 60 pages in, but it's good so far!
Just finished She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, I really enjoyed it so I moved on to another one of his books I Know This Much is True, but I don't like it as much.
I absolutely loved She's Come Undone. I never finished I Know This Much is True (which I partially read years before She's Come Undone); it just didn't compel me.
I'm on a bit of a non-fiction kick. I'm reading The Lost Whale which is only okay so tonight I'm going to start Wild Ones. I don't know much about it, except that it's about how we populate our worlds with representations of cute animals (whales, owls, bunnies, etc) while ignoring the realities of what is happening to the wildlife population around us. It got great reviews on Amazon, so fingers crossed...

. That book was a romance novel, believe it or not! It talked about food some, but more about the romance and it is a fun read!
