I finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen, and it was FANTASTIC! I can't wait to watch the movie. (Not that having my "Edward" in it will help at all and I LOVE Reese Witherspoon) I wasn't really sure what to read next, so I went to the "Recommended For You" section at the Kindle Store. I was slightly intrigued by a book called These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf, so I downloaded it.
Let me just tell you, it is good! It is very well written and in a manner that you don't want to put it down. Each chapter is written from a different character's point of view and gives you so many different sides to the story. Heather Gudenkauf has another book The Weight of Silence, that has somewhat of a similar storyline to the one I'm reading now. I'm downloading it next! Recently I read a couple of books by Pam Lewis, as well, and I wasn't sure how I felt about them at first, but they both ended up being pretty good. I've got a list of books going now that I'm going to try out. Maybe a couple of Sara Gruen's other books and an author named Carol Cassella, who is said to write similarly to Jodi Picoult. I know I should probably be doing something more productive, like working out, when I put the kids to bed, but I really consider that my "me" time and would much rather read! Since I got my Kindle for Christmas I've read 10 books. These Things Hidden is number 11. Only one of them was a flop and took me a really long time to read. I finished it, but it was terrible. I do not recommend The False Friend by Myla Goldberg.
Well, it's only a 4 day week, so I'd better get my rear in gear! Have a great week!
