currently reading: little bee by chris cleave
From the back: WE DON’T WANT TO TELL YOU TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS BOOK. It is a truly special story and we don’t want to spoil it. Nevertheless, you need to know something, so we will just say this: It is extremely funny, but the African beach scene is horrific. The story starts there, but the book doesn’t. And it’s what happens afterward that is most important. Once you have read it, you’ll want to tell everyone about it. When you do, please don’t tell them what happens either. The magic is in how it unfolds.
Available for purchase on Amazon.

September 1, 2010 at 12:42 amI loved this book. It is so beautifully written, even though it is not all happy-happy. I have had trouble finding books I really want to keep reading lately, and this was one that I sunk my teeth into immediately. I read the first half in one sitting. Enjoy!
