32. Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner

Funny, I've read a couple of classics lately. I liked Animal Farm. I had never read it in high school and decided to pick it up recently.
Fly Away Home was really good. I liked the story and the way Jennifer wrote each character.
I listened to two books on CD, one was The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory, LOVED listening to that one on cd. I actually want to pick up her next book on CD. I also listened to "There's a Slight Chance I might be Going to Hell" by Laurie Notaro. Funny book, glad I listened to it rather than read it.

Current book: "Her Fearful Symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger
Current book on cd: "The Shack" by William Young

Phillipa Gregory's books are really good. I am really into them. I have never listened to them on CD before, but I have loved reading them all.
