Books read last week: How did I only finish one book this week? I thought I'd have tons of free time this weekend, but it was not meant to be...
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
- Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda (LOVED this book, but I will post the review on April 12 for a TLC tour)
- Chasing Windmills by Catherine Ryan Hyde
- Fade to Blue by Bill Moody (Suspense/Mystery Challenge)--on my computer so I am having issues getting around to reading it
- A Thousand Sisters by Lisa Shannon
- Disobedience by Jane Hamilton (for my Book Group)
Give Away: International, closes at 5:00pm (Pacific Time) on Saturday, April 9, 2011
- Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
Comments: I have been reading a lot lately about how annoyed commenters get with having to type in the word verification so I turned it off. It took all of 12 hours before I got spam. So, the verification is back on.

Secret Daughter is one of my favorite books and I'm glad you loved it too!
I haven't heard of Chasing Windmills or Fade to Blue but I hope you are enjoying them and that you have a great week!
I've only just started the Henrietta Lacks book. I've heard it's very good.
Khadija--I did enjoy Henrietta Lacks and all its commentary on poverty, ignorance, and medicine
Christina--Chasing Windmills is by the same author as Jumpstart the World, which I really liked a lot
Alyce--Enjoy Henrietta! I look forward to seeing what you think of it
The Immortal Life...has been on my radar for a while now. I might have to request it from my library.
I keep seeing A Thousand Sisters on blogs... this inspires me. I loved this book. It's dark but true. An important story, and about running!
Will need to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I see this everywhere and everyone loves it.
Have a wonderful week!
I love Jane Hamilton's books...it's been awhile since I read Disobedience, but I recall enjoying it a lot.
Hope you have a great week.
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I haven't heard of any of those books but will be looking them up on amazon to see which ones take me fancy and look foward to your reviews :D
Have a great reading week and please feel free to stop by my page and let me know what you think! :D:D
Oh and the word verification isn't that bad!
I am excited to read your thoughts on Secret Daughter!
Angie--Immortal Life is definitely worth requesting from your library
Mari--You are one of the first that I've heard has read A Thousand Sisters; I am really looking forward to reading it
Laurel-Rain--My co-worker is going to lend me her copy of Disobedience so I can get reading it in time for my book group meeting
Pussreboots and Blogabook--I'll go check out your blogs now
Sheila--Secret Daughter was WONDERFUL (and you'll have to wait for the review for the details)
I sooooo want to read Secret Daughter! My library doesn't even have it. I think I'm going to buy it!
Aths--I'd offer you my copy, but I am hoping my book group will read it. It is well worth the money!
Hey if you have spam you gotta do it! Looking forward to your review of Secret Daughters!
Amused--I so wish I could post the review now since I loved the book so much
