Redeeming Love by (the AMAZING) Francine Rivers

"The Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters". So far, so good.

And before that was "The Secret Life Of Bees" which if you haven't read, you must. It was an amazing read.

I'm in the middle of On Beauty by Zadie Smith, and i am quite enjoying it. Mostly because I like her writing stayle and I can relate WAY too much to the dysfunctional academic family, with a father who is a humanities professor. Ugh.

I'm currently reading "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by Sedaris. I read "Naked" a while back, which was hilarious, so I'm expecting this one to follow suit.

Also, I just finished Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" (author of "Everything Is Illuminated") which was amazing. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

NOT SINCE CARRIE by Ken Mandelboum. I'm enjoying it very much but it;s already out-of-date. It needs a chapter on IN MY LIFE and LESTAT.
