Books read last week: How did I only finish one book this week? I thought I'd have tons of free time this weekend, but it was not meant to be...

- Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda (LOVED this book, but I will post the review on April 12 for a TLC tour)
- Chasing Windmills by Catherine Ryan Hyde
- Fade to Blue by Bill Moody (Suspense/Mystery Challenge)--on my computer so I am having issues getting around to reading it
- A Thousand Sisters by Lisa Shannon
- Disobedience by Jane Hamilton (for my Book Group)
Give Away: International, closes at 5:00pm (Pacific Time) on Saturday, April 9, 2011
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
Comments: I have been reading a lot lately about how annoyed commenters get with having to type in the word verification so I turned it off. It took all of 12 hours before I got spam. So, the verification is back on.
I've really been wanting to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I hope you enjoyed it :)

Secret Daughter is one of my favorite books and I'm glad you loved it too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Chasing Windmills or Fade to Blue but I hope you are enjoying them and that you have a great week!
I've only just started the Henrietta Lacks book. I've heard it's very good.
ReplyDeleteKhadija--I did enjoy Henrietta Lacks and all its commentary on poverty, ignorance, and medicine
ReplyDeleteChristina--Chasing Windmills is by the same author as Jumpstart the World, which I really liked a lot
Alyce--Enjoy Henrietta! I look forward to seeing what you think of it
The Immortal Life...has been on my radar for a while now. I might have to request it from my library.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing A Thousand Sisters on blogs... this inspires me. I loved this book. It's dark but true. An important story, and about running!
ReplyDeleteWill need to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I see this everywhere and everyone loves it.
Have a wonderful week!
I love Jane Hamilton's books...it's been awhile since I read Disobedience, but I recall enjoying it a lot.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week.
