4. Big Boned by Meg Cabot - I think this is part of a series. A little disappointed I didn't read the first one first!
5. Anthropology of an American Girl - I find I have a hard time reading books that don't have a lot of dialogue. This book was prose heavy. It bounced around a little bit and I had a hard time following the story sometimes.
6. The Blind Contessa's New Machine - Cute book. Short, too.
7. Heart & Soul by Frank Conroy - My mother-in-law lent this to me on Sunday and I finished it this morning. I really enjoyed it...I didn't want it to end!

Books 2011

1. Insatiable by Meg Cabot: I enjoyed this. Vampire books are interesting and I almost wish there were a sequel.

2. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote: My BFF was listening to this on her ipod the other day when I was on my way to the library. I figured since she liked it so much (it wasn't the first time she'd listened to it), I would probably like it, too. Very right. Excellent read.

3. The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted: And Other Small Acts of Liberation by Elizabeth Berg: I drive an hour and a half each way for work twice a week and listen to audiobooks while I'm driving. They give me something to concentrate on other than the highway hypnosis I routinely suffer from. Wonderful short stories, but I must admit that I hate short stories. They often leave too much to the imagination. And I REALLY like closure.
