First Two (Non-School Related) Books of 2008

So I finished Mirror, Mirror by Gregory Maguire a week or so ago. (FINALLY)  It was definitely interesting, as are all of his books.  I don't think I liked it as much as Wicked though.  I found it humorous because my parents got this book for me for Christmas.  (They knew I had read Wicked so figured it was a safe book to choose.)  My parents prolly wouldn't approve of this book at all, or my mom wouldn't anyway.  Incest just isn't really her style. Or any of the sexual elements for that matter.  ***The above comment kind of made it sound like incest is my style, which it isn't.  Just making sure we're all clear on that.***








I also recently finished The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold.  It was another interesting book.  I didn't like it as much as The Lovely Bones.  I'm not sure if I'll ever read it again (at least not any time soon), but I do admire how Sebold writes about topics that a lot of people would be uncomfortable discussing.  She must be a very interesting lady.
