The Happiness Project

by: Gretchen Rubin

Non-fiction! I LOVED this book. Hope to read it again. Loved her ideas, loved how she writes! VERY good. I did keep a dictionary by me as I read to really get the definition of her words. Loved it!

The Postmistress

by: Sarah Blake

Could have been better! Good idea; story was just ok, hardly captivating; almost forgot I read it....IF I remember, it is a story of WW2 - the postmistress kept a letter...there was a man and wife; the man decided to go and fight/help the war effort...really, I wished it was better.

Eat, Pray, Love

by: Elizabeth Gilbert

Really!! I LOVED this book! I read parts aloud to my mother. This woman goes through a terrible divorce. She is a writer. She writes about her recovery. She goes to Italy...eats...then to India to an ashram (?) to pray. I believe she lives there for 4 months. She encounters many interesting people. Then she goes to Bali. I really liked this book. If you read it, PLEASE talk to me about it!!!

The School of Essential Ingredients

by: Erica Bauermeister

I enjoyed this book too! What a nice run of good books for me. This is about a girl that has a hard mother. A mother that was not emotionally there; she was physically there, but not really. The girl tried to reach her mother through cooking. She grows up to have a restaurant and then gives cooking classes. The book talks a lot about the people she teaches in her class; what they are going through. I enjoyed it! Please read it!!

Born to Run

by: Christopher McDougall

I read this book by assignment from my sister; was a bit sceptical of it, but I really enjoyed it...and it's a non-fiction. Very fascinating! Great story of one man's journey of running. There are some long boring parts...just skip thoughs. But really not too many. I recommend!! After I read this book I ran a mile barefoot. It was great!
