Me & Emma
Elizabeth Flock
A great read, very well written. Not the most uplifting subject, but worth it. The author is great a painting a picture in your head and not being too graphic.

Devil in the White City
Erik Larson
Interesting. I heard my dad saying that my Uncle Jay loved this book and Michael had picked it up so I read it. Jay thought it was a page turner. I thought it was interesting but definitely not a page turner. I wanted a little more about the murders and a little less about construction. But, I do think it would have been amazing to see the World's Fair in Chicago. I wonder what it would be like if we had a world's fair today. It was also very interesting to learn all the things we have today because they were invented for or debuted at the fair.

Stori Telling
Tori Spelling
Okay, I am sure I lost a few IQ points by reading this book. But, I must admit I LOVED it. Tori, I feel like we are on a first name basis now, did a great job of making it easy to read and enjoy. I am still irritated with her and Dean for cheating on their spouses but she does get points for honesty and entertainment. If you want to just check out and have fun read this one.

A Few Summer Reads
Mercy
Jodi Picoult
I thought this was good, but I have to admit it is the first of this author's books that I haven't loved. I usually feel like I have really considered the other side of an issue by the time I finish her books, but this time my feelings hadn't changed much. I liked the main plot and was pleased with how it ended, but really didn't like the side story or feel like it tied in that well. Oh well, still a good read and I will continue to read her books.
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
David Wroblewski
This is one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. I highly recommend it, I thought the story was excellently written. I am not going to say much else because I don't want to ruin the story.
