| A Little Life. Breaks my heart and I love it. |

Geez how am I going to get through all these books!?
They all sound amazing. I had a hard time deciding which ones to purchase first. One of the PP's asked if I had read Phantom Tollbooth yet. I have not but will probably end up reading at the same time DS does. The books I ordered are due to arrive today

PPs should form a book club. We all seem to love the same stuff.
I have several books I have ready many times over and enjoy them as much the 2nd and 3rd time. They are: Middlesex Poisonwood Bible A Tree Grows in Brooklyn Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption The last one is by Laura Hillenbrand and is flat out amazing. Couldn't bear to go see the movie version because I didn't want to ruin it. |

Some of my books arrived last night!
Brothers K and Glass Castle! Will do a little book review afterwards
