| | | Yesterday I finished True Women by Janice Woods Windle. It's a great book based upon a lot of history and such, but with a fiction story line.

| | I just finished reading "Modoc" by Ralph Helfer. It's a true story about "the greatest elephant that ever lived". I can get pretty mushy over animal stories but when I was done reading this book, I tell you, I have never sobbed so hard in my life!!!  Even though it made me cry, still highly recommend it! |

| | Oh, wait! My Aunt wrote a book. It's called "The Horses of Proud Spirit" by Melanie Sue Bowles. True stories about horses she has rescued. Some stories are a bit sad but VERY inspiring and she's a GREAT writer. www.horsesofproudspirit.com |

I read in bed before turning out the light though. Bf and I agreed on no laptop/ no TV in bedroom.
I'm reading "The curious incident of the dog in the night- time" by Mark Haddon right now.

| | | Just started Broken: A Story of Addiction and Redemption by William Cope Moyers. I met him at an Addiction & Recovery conference last week (for work...) and he was fantastic- a really amazing and surprising man. It's a good read. |

| | | just finished Wicked now i'm starting Mirror, Mirror
btw- wicked and confessions weren't too different...although I must say, I liked confessions a little better. But if you really didn't like Wicked, you won't like Confessions any better I'm afraid.

Not sure if it was that or his writing style or a combination. If I have a friend (or the library) to borrow the book from I still might do it.

| | | i'll send you my copy. It could be because of seeing the play first, I've watched movies and then read the book and hated the book because i compared it to the movie and vice versa.

| | Just finished Vanish by Tess Gerritsen. Her books are good for taking some time off, super thrilling, easy to read, not intellectually demanding.

| | | still on revolution and genocide..pretty sure that's not getting finished.
lord of the flies was really good, but really creepy and oh man I cried (when the first character died).
Next up for English is MacBeth, I'm really looking forward to it.
and I'm trying to find some prose for my speech competition next week and I am pretty sure I found it in Not Tonight, Honey, Wait Until I'm a Size 6 by Susan Reindart. (sp?)
