Just finished Sorta Like a Rock Start by Matthew Quick. If I were still working in the library, I would order tn copies of this book and then sit back and watch it be devoured. Such a great story about such a great kid and an the kind of ending that makes you stand up and cheer. Yeah, it's that good.

If I could, I would buy every woman I know a copy of The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. Funny, sweet, rings true, leaves you HAPPY!

You MUST read The Rosie Project!

I loved that book and the movie should be out soon. I have trouble picturing Ben Affleck as the husband though.

Today I start reading
The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown

Just finished Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand. Wow what a story. It was engrossing, endearing, heart breaking, inspiring and educational. HIGHLY recommend!
