I have had a hard time in the literary department lately. The last book I read was okay, but nothing to write home about. I didn’t even finish it. For the past week or so I have been trying to get into this book, but I just couldn’t. I never abandon a book after I have read over 100 pages of it. I figure if I have invested this much time, I might as well finish it out. I couldn’t with this one though. It just wasn’t about anything. The story was going absolutely NOWHERE!!! So, if anyone has any suggestions, they would be GREATLY appreciated.
I NEED a Good Book

i am reading The Shack right now….grab it as fast as you can!
Try Mrs. Kimble by Jennifer Haigh (2005). I couldn’t put it down.
That said, DO NOT read Fall on Your Knees, which I am trying to get through right now. Slow + depressing is not my kind of book. : (
Have you read:
1. Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down
2. Gilead
3. Time Travelers Wife
4. About Alice
Also, are you on “Good Reads”–that is a fun web page to get recommendations from your friends
The Twilight series by Stefanie Meyer is really hot at the middle and high schools right now. They are the most requested books at both levels. I have read the first two in the series and couldn’t put them down. They are about teenage vampires. You might give them a try.
Well, if you could drag yourself away from the Oprah Book club long enough to appreciate some real literature, I might be able to help you….
