2 comments:
I just finished reading some books, most of which you wouldn't enjoy, but others (esp. girls) might:
Julie and Julia
-super laugh out loud hilarious (esp if you cook)
Chronicles of Narnia
-despite the god-ness
Candyfreak
-someone who loves sugar more than even me
Memoirs of a Geisha
-makes you wish you were sold into slavery as a small child (almost)
The true and outstanding adventures of the Hunt sisters
-pretty amusing, a little slow b/c of format (epistolary i think they call it), lots of crying
Nice to see the Rand. I'm a fan.
