Past Reads

I feel I should write about some good reads I've had in the past. I can't think of any new books I've read that aren't already on here.

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. So Good! If you like memoirs, this is a must read.

I also just finished another book by Jeannette Walls. It is about her grandmother this time, called Half Broke Horse

Her Grandmother was born in 1901, it tells her story. It is not as good as The Glass Castle, but still worth a read.

A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel

Haven is an excellent story teller and this book is so fun. It is another memoir about her life in Indiana, she was born in 1965. Very FUNNY. If you like this book (which you will), then you'll also love the sequel.

She Got Up Off the Couch by Haven Kimmel

I liked this book just as much as the first, although it was more sad.

I love Amy Tan. Her older books especially.

My two favorites are:

The Kitchen God's Wife - Amy Tan

and The Joy Luck Club.

She writes well about mother daughter relationships.

What are some of your favorite past reads - or current?
