A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith
This has turned out to be a great book. I highly recommend it. Big Boned - Meg Cabot
Fun quick fluff read. Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Very interesting story. Definitely a new perspective. Sleeping with Ward Cleaver - Jenny Gardiner
Another fluff read. Way more romance that I would prefer. Typical chick lit I guess.

The Mortician's Daughter - Elizabeth Bloom
Decent little murder mystery. Plot okay, and kept me interested. Reading Lolita in Tehran - Azar Nafisi
This book was good. I didn't know all the books the author was referencing so I did get a bit lost in parts but I was intrigued to read about the everyday life of these women. The Fifth Victim - Beverly Barton
Interesting mystery but sometimes a bit too much like a romance novel for my taste. Coyote Dream - Jessica Davis Stein
Definitely falls into the chic lit catagory but a fun read nonetheless.

Every Boy's Got One - Meg Cabot
Quick fun read...not deep but fun. Two Little Girls in Blue - Mary Higgins Clark
First read of this author. I enjoyed it, and will probably hunt out some more of her stuff. Recommend if you like the mystery. Shoes to Die For - Laura Levine
Fun quick read as well. Not the greatest plot but still enjoyable. Body Surfing - Anita Shreve
Always enjoy Anita's stuff even if it is catagorized at Chick Lit. This one was not as sad as some have been even though I thought it might be when I first started it. Would recommend.

Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason - Helen Fielding
I had already seen the movie before reading this and at first the writing kind of bugged me but eventually I got into it and it was quite a fun read. Now I need to see both movies again. Gone - Jonathon Kellerman
Another fabulous Alex Delaware book. I just love this character and the stories around it. Definitely recommend.
And one other one I can't remember off the top of my head. It was from the library and they don't keep a record of our check outs....damn. I'll figure it out eventually.

November 2007 Books
Julie and Julia - Julie Powell
This one was pure entertainment. I was able to understand the characters (although the French cooking sounded not fun at times) and I loved the fictionalized life of Julia Childs added in. Three Weeks With My Brother - Nicholas and Micah Sparks
Quick read and interesting history. I haven't read a lot of the Sparks books but have seen a few of the movies. It was interesting to see an author and their process up close. Hissy Fit - Mary Kay Andrews
Quick read, and funny characters but reminded me a bit of a romance novel...don't know if it was supposed to be that way or not.

Clown Girl - Monica Drake
This one was a bit weird for me. I guess because I don't relate to the life style at all and it was kind of sad the entire time. What Do You Do All Day? - Amy Scheibe
Quick read. The main character was easy to relate to and I enjoyed the story line. The Guy Not Taken - Jennifer Weiner
Fun read. It through me off a bit that the first three stories were related but none of the others were. I had heard poor things about this book but it was still a fun JW read and you can see where some of her other books came from. Queen of Babble - Meg Cabot
This one was a fun little read too but at first the main character gave me a headache rambling on and on.
