I was recently on a 2 week vacation and brought these with me for some rest and relaxation...



The Truth About Stories by Thomas King
I think this book has a very interesting perspective and is successful in infusing humor and honesty on complicated aboriginal issues.
Rating: Donate It.

Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen

A coming of age story taking place against the backdrop of the intriguing world of the circus in the early 20th century. Great to pass on to your friends.

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
Of course everyone knows of these novels. I chose to bring this one because I wanted a nice easy read. It did the trick and in all honesty I couldn't put it down but unfortunately I found a lot of things to complain about. My biggest complaint was how the author decided to portray the conflict between Bella & Edward in the first half of this novel. I worry that the obsessive & controlling behavior that Edward has towards Bella is condoned by the author and sends the wrong message that it's ok for someone to behave in this way if they do it in the name of "love". No thanks.
