	Water for Elephants (134) By Sara Gruen Finished on Sep 15, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
This is a classic example to not judge a book by it's cover. A story about the circus? I was going to hate it, but everyone kept raving about it. I had to read it for myself. I loved this book!

	Little Earthquakes (21) By Jennifer Weiner Finished on Aug 29, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
Loved this little story. It helped that I'm pregnant and could relate to alot of the story, but I read it quite quickly which is always the first sign of a good read. I'll be reading more of this author. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Aug 29, 2009 \| Add your feedback

	Barefoot (5) A Novel By Elin Hilderbrand Finished in Aug 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
I loved the writing style of the author. Is it weird that the Epilogue was my favourite part of the whole book? It was so emotional without being sappy, like I feared it would be. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Sep 2, 2009 \| Add your feedback
	Breaking Dawn (212) By Stephenie Meyer Finished on Mar 9, 2009 Add... My Shelf Wish List
While some say this is by far the weakest, I would have to say this one was my favourite. A good story, a nice ending to a pretty good series overall. Is this helpful? ― Posted on Mar 10, 2009 \| Add your feedback

(continue) A heartstrong story of family and romance, tribulation and tenacity, set on the High Plains east of Denver. In the small town of Holt, Colorado, a high school teacher is confronted with raising his two boys alone after their mother retreats first to the bedroom, then altogether. A teenage girl -- her father long since disappeared, her mother unwilling to have her in the house -- is pregnant, alone herself, with nowhere to go. And out in the country, two brothers, elderly bachelors, work the family homestead, the only world they've ever known. From these unsettled lives emerges a vision of life, and of the town and landscape that bind them together -- their fates somehow overcoming the powerful circumstances of place and station, their confusion, curiosity, dignity and humor intact and resonant. As the milieu widens to embrace fully four generations, Kent Haruf displays an emotional and aesthetic authority to rival the past masters of a classic American tradition. Utterly true to the rhythms and patterns of life, Plainsong is a novel to care about, believe in, and learn from. I can't say enough about this book! I am amazed with the grace and eloquence in the writing. These are the stories you would hear in your own hometown and they writtten so beautifully! I am now a huge fan of this author.
