I love to read. Check out the books I am reading or have read and see if you like any of them too. Feel free to recommend reads as well. Don't want to read something but want to know if it is worth reading...I can read it for you, or maybe I have already read it, ask me!!

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Okay, I read this book in about an hour last night...it is by John Boyne and was incredible! I have read several Holocaust books and this one was very different, chilling, and of course sad. I was most amazed by the terminology used in the book to describe what the boy's father did, where they lived and this 9 year old's limited understanding of what was going on. I was definitely moved...and would add this to a top recommendation for anyone who wanted to read about the Holocaust. I am trying not to give anything away by what I am saying...but it is difficult to not know what happens. I wasn't prepared for the ending...although I felt it was a good ending to the book (If you could call it good). Read it!!
