Books Read 2011 (Items in bold are books I highly recommend)
1. Dixieland Sushi by Cara Lockwood
2. Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls
3. Courting Trouble by Deeanne Gist
4. Women Who Run by Shanti Sosienski Loved this book! So inspiring to read about these amazing women who fought to bring women's running into the olympics or to fight a personal struggle. I truely enjoyed reading each story. And the interesting one was of the man who had a sex change to a woman. Reading how estrogen slowed him down was fascinating.
5. Without a Backward Glance by Kate Veitch
6. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
7. My Name is Memory by Ann Brashares Amazing book! I've recommended this book to everyone I know. Such a great story/plot. At first I was disappointed with the lackluster ending but later learned that this book is supposed to be Part 1 of a trilogy. I can't wait till the next book comes out.
8. Ape House by Sara Gruen (A little disappointing, I really liked Water for Elephants and had high hopes for this book.)
9. Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier-Again I was hoping for an exciting story, it seemed a little slow. Apparently this book is historical fiction but I sort of wished it was spiced up a little.
10. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins This was a cute teen novel. My friend recommended it to me so I requested the book from the library. I didn't find it amazing, but a cute story.
Starting Cecelia Ahern's new book: The Book of Tomorrow. (I've really lucked out recently and have been able to pick up a lot of new releases from the library without having to request them. In fact, I just scan the new releases bookshelf and found these books. So the last 5 books (including Ahern) have been from the library. Also on my to be read list is Marian Keyes newest book which I also found on the new shelf: The Brightest Star in the Sky.
