I’m so excited about the new book-a-riffic riches that I have to blog about it. My sister Kate gave me an Amazon gift card for my b-day (super-thanks!) and I just ordered 5 new books. This combines my two favorite things- books and getting stuff in the mail. Seriously, I’ll pay for the shipping so I don’t have to go to a store but I also LOVE getting packages.
I’m mostly proud that they aren’t all fluffy chick lit (I felt the need to go more intellectual after the brain-melting that was the Twlight series). Here is the list:
Water for Elephants: A Novel (at Mom’s recommendation- we’ll talk)
The Splendor of Silence: A Novel
Anybody Out There? (the only real chick lit- Marian Keyes is one of my favorites)
The best news is that I still have money left over (most were $.01 - $1.00 used). So any suggestions?

How about send back the Time Travelers Wife? I read it and was just depressed by the end. I think Bek liked it though. It just made me mad. i thought it was worth reading, but not owning.
Nothing intellectual about "Water"..... depressing yes, definately not a feel good book!
jmk
Mom is recommending depressing books?
I think that if you have not grasped on to Garth Nix's Keys of the Kingdom series you should hit them up. I just bought the latest book, and it was pure joysauce. I couldn't stop reading. Or Artemis Fowl, I got the new one of that too.
I agree with your love of just reading books, and getting packages. It is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world. Straight up! :)
