How to Feel Fabulous Today!
Stephanie L. Tourles
Well... who doesn't want to feel fabulous today?! Lol
Parched
Heather King
Wow! This book was calling my name. Here's the blurb:
In this moving, emotionally charged, and unflinching look at alcoholism and its
effects, lawyer and prominent National Public Radio writer and commentator
Heather King describes her twenty-year-long descent into the depths of addiction
with wit and candor. King went from a highly functioning alcoholic who managed
to maintain her grip on reality to living in the lowest of dive bars, drinking
around the clock and barely sustaining an existence. With help from the most
unexpected source, King stopped her self-destructive spiral and changed her
world for the better. This is the poignant, painfully honest, and inspirational
true story of a woman who looked into the abyss, and was able to step back from
the edge and reclaim her life on her own terms.
Nice Girls Don't Get Rich: 75 Avoidable Mistakes Women Make with Money
Lois P. Frankel, PhD.
I love the title and I can totally relate >:)Some books I wanted but I'll pick them up on the next go round or you can buy them for me :)
Who Moved My Cheese?
Spencer Johnson M.D
I'm pretty much the best at adapting to change, I have a great outlook but I'm tired of hearing about it so I'll probably see what it's about.
Hood
Noire
I haven't read any Urban Lit in a LONG time. I did enjoy G-Spot though so I will give this a chance. Noire is a pretty good writer.48 Laws of Power
Robert Greene & Joost Elffers
Heard it's a must have, I pretty much know the highlights of the book because friends who have read it schooled me on the things they found most important. It won't hurt to check it out myself.
The Art of War
Sun Tzu
Same as above. It's pretty much a literary staple
Here are my favorite books of all time!
The Catcher in the Rye
J.D Salinger
OMG I've read this book atleast 5 times and I'm sure I'll read it another 5 before I die. It's just one of those books that grow with you. I also love it because I can totally relate to Holden and the fact that everyone takes his situation(s) serious but him. He's also hilarious. I recommend this book... 20 million stars!!
White Oleander
Janet Fitch
Oh man! I read this book in the 4th grade for a book report (and again in the 5th for another book report lol). It was definately not written for my age group and I actually read it wayyyy before the movie (which does the book NO justice) and wayyyy before it hit Oprahs book club. Something about the way Janet tells the story just pulls you in. It's probably her descriptive language because she never goes right out and says anything. She'll elude and leave teh rest to you imagination. I think that's why I didn't like the movie as much.
Down These Mean Streets
Piri Thomas
Classic! I love memoirs...
Native Son
Richard Wright
Originally I read it for school, found it years later and read it again! I don't think I grasped the concept the first time around but the second boy did it hit me. Great book!
That's all for now over @ Eve's Reading Rainbow lol. Get cha summer read on boys & girls!

We definitely have the same taste in reading boo! I read about 5 of those books in my lifetime lol I have to catch up on my reading too I'm currently reading this book for school called "After the Fact: A historical detection" Its pretty good so far. I'm starting to enjoy reading you learn alot and its way better than watching t.v. because you get visualize it in your mind and form your own idea on the characters based on the description given, thats what I enjoy most! its funny how when you read a book and you picture how a character looks and then when you see the movie they look totally different lol
Who moved my cheese was pretty good my mom made me read that when I was like 16 lol
White Oleander was good also I liked the movie but your right the book was better
Native son I did a report on it when I was in middle school don't really remember what that was about
Cather in the Rye I read also back in the day but I think I will end up reading it again my English teacher keeps bringing it up in class so I need to refresh my memory lol
Oh yeah and Boo when you finished reading Parched pass that lol I can already tell its a page turner!
