reading, reading, reading

Got a few more under my belt.

The Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes.
I haven't read one of her books for a while and this one was a slight departure from what I remember. I little longer, a little mystical and a little more serious than I remember her writing. But still a good one.

Skinny by Donna Cooner. A YA book I picked up at a book fair. Follows an obese teenager and her journey to and through gastric bypass surgery. I thought the author did a good job of describing the main character's struggles and eventual triumphs.

Everyone Worth Knowing by Laura Weisberger. Fun, fun book. The type I love. A main character you are rooting for, a bunch of ridiculousness from the characters and a satisfying ending.

And I am going to go ahead and include one that I am ALMOST finished with (close enough that it counts)...

I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I ever Had by Tony Danza. I can't decide whether this book makes me hopeful or if it makes me want to cry, but I have enjoyed it. I suspect it is going to leave me feeling a little more optimistic about inner city schools and their teachers and their future than I really should, but I am glad I am reading it.
