NEXT on the list...

So I just finished "Girls In White Dresses" and I have to say that it was an interesting and very different read.  The book is set up much different than most others I have read.  Each chapter focuses on a different character, but most of the characters have more than one chapter, and sometimes those same characters are in each others stories.  When I first started reading I thought that I might have to keep track of the specific characters and what their plot lines were, but as I read I realized that it was as necessary at I first thought.  Yes, sometimes you need to remember that you have already heard from a character, but you do not really need to remember what their specific story was.  I noticed that as I read I was reminded of who each character was and a little of their back story.
This book is about friends from college, and even high school, that are going through their 20's and 30's, trying to deal with relationships, friends getting married, friends having babies, and that feeling of being left behind.  It was a great read for me because it showed a lot of the scenarios that I am dealing with and things that I know my friends have and are dealing with.
I would recommend this book to any women in her twenties or thirties.  So many women could relate to at least one of the characters and can see that they are not alone with these feelings.

Okay.......BOOK 5--   "The Hunger Games"



I am actually reading this book for two reasons:
--many of my friends have recommended this book and I have heard great things about it.
--I am a teacher and we are reading this book as a school wide read-aloud.

I have to say that I am intrigued by the description of this book and all that it may have to offer.  It seems like a book that will have multiple twists and turns and will keep a reader hooked the whole way through.  Let's see what it has in store for us...

Til next time.
