For Sandy...

My cousin Sandy inspired me to do a quick book post... so here it goes!! I only have a few minutes so these are the books that come to mind right now, but I'll add more later!

Sandy... this is the book I think I was telling you about this summer. I've always loved memoirs, and this is a good one!

This book is heart-wrenching, but so interesting... it's basically an autobiography about one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.

I read this book in college but still to this day, it's one of my favorite books. Beware though, it's a doorstop!! (i.e. about 700 pages I think!)

This is supposedly one of the first memoirs of it's kind... similar to The Glass Castle... I liked Glass Castle more, but this one is short and definitely worth reading. Mary Karr has a pretty good sense of humor about her dysfunctional childhood.

My mom recommended this book to me a few years ago and I loved it. Another historical fiction.

I saw previews on TV for this book that was made into a movie... but read the book first!! Such a cute story... and even better, the main character's name is Lily :)

and I'm about to start reading this book... I know nothing, other than it won a Pulitzer, so we'll see!
