The Gravity of Birds: A Novel
by Tracy Guzeman

Thanks for a good read! (9/2/2013)

I also received this book as a book club read and I loved it! Half way through this book I thought I had it all figured out but the unexpected turn at the very end really surprised me. I think the character development was wonderful..I feel like I know them all! This was a …more

Song of the Spirits: In the Land of the Long White Cloud saga

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity
by Katherine Boo

Behind the Beautiful Forevers (1/8/2012)

When I first started reading Behind the Beautiful Forevers I had the movie Slum Dog Millionnaire in my mind. I have, sorry to say, never read much about India . This is not a love story, nor a book on achieving some great goal, unless you count staying alive as one. This …more
