Girl with a Pearl Earring
Author: Tracy Chevalier
Book Type: Paperback
Rating:


One of my favorite books. I've read one other by Chevalier, but this still remains my favorite from her. I was so happy the movie was out and I was able to watch it so soon after to bring a visual to the characters I had been imagining. This is a book I would definitely re-read (if I didn't have a zillion other books awaiting me - ha).

This was a pick for our book club. It was a pretty fast and easy read. The story was reminiscent of Poe, notably most at the ending. I consider a book a decent read if it lingers on the mind after finishing, and this one did. The book held my interest, and I would recommend it to a friend.

My Sister's Keeper
Author: Jodi Picoult
Book Type: Paperback
Rating:


This was the first book I read by Picoult and the one that got me hooked. It was heart-wrenching to read, and as others have said had an interesting twist at the end. If you like Picoult you will not be dissapointed.
