21. The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani

2009-11-04T20:09:53Z

I really liked this book. Having spent some time in the Muslim world, many things mentioned - such as the bazaar, hamman and henna - were familiar to me. And I got so involved in the story of the young female protagonist that I finished the book ...

20. Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field: A Novel by Melissa Nathan

2009-11-02T01:23:37Z

Sigh. I let the allusion to an Austen novel in the title fool me into thinking this wouldn't be the usual chick lit drivel. While I did find myself enjoying parts of the book - after all, it does owe its themes to Price and Prejudice, which I lo...

19. The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

2009-10-29T14:07:34Z

I really liked this book. I had never heard of it until the movie, which I loved because Daniel Craig can do no wrong and I would go gay for Eva Green in a heartbeat (and the plot wasn't half bad either). This book has been on my "to-read" list,...

It seems the Amazon search isn't working again. Bugger. Anyway, I've read yet another in the Series of Unfortunate Events and I rather liked this one. The end.

I bought this book on Mother's Day 2007. I started reading it in January. I have finally finished it. Hallelujah.

So I can be OCD about work instead of Facebook friend requests and books I'm supposedly reading for pleasure...

16. Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan

2009-10-10T20:14:55Z

I read this for my book club, which met today. I love Amy Tan, I really do. But this was not one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong; I definitely enjoyed the book. It's just not quite in the same vein as her other, family-history heavy novels. ...

I have discovered Hulu.

2009-09-30T17:02:13Z

I have not watched television in about three years. Not to say that I never sat down in front of the TV, but when I did it was mostly for a SpongeBob SquarePants marathon. Thanks to the beauty of Hulu.com (and unemployment), I'm currently hooked ...
