I have been eyeing Jennifer Weiner's books for quite some time. My friend, Melissa, boorrowed me a pile of "must reads" and this came in that pile. I found myself getting irritated with the maine character at times, as she was going through a boo-hoo period in her life... other than that it was a great story and just a fun read!
The Glass Castle is a Memior that will stay with me. I love the story because it is about someone coming from nothing, yet, she sets out on her own and makes a wonderful life for herself. Throughout the first 3/4 of the book my jaw was hanging open... I just couldn't believe everything she went through.
So, last summer I was forced by a friend to read Twilight. When I finished Twilight I was like, "Okay, I get it, your boyfriend is a Vampire and oyu have problems." So, I was not in a hurry to read New Moon at all! Some people offered me their copy, but, like I said I was not in a hurry to read it. Until, 2-weeks ago whne I received notification from the Library that New Moon was ready for me to pick it up. I forgot that I put myself on the waiting list for it. I was number 37 when I signed up last summer. So, I picked it up and didn't put it down! I am sucked in (pun intended!)! Since I finished New Moon, I read The Glass Castle and am moving on to another one of Melissa's must reads.... I need to pace myself from the Twilight series!UPDATE: Ok, I was lying when I said I would pace myself on the Twilight series. I just received a notification from the Library that Eclipse (the next in the series) is ready for me to pick up!!!.
